Commissioning Tests with the Generator
3.4.1
General Hints
It is necessary to perform switching operations during commissioning. The tests
described below assume that no risk is involved in such operations. They are therefore
not suitable for checks during operation.
Safety Instructions
All relevant safety rules and regulations (e.g. VDE 105, VBG4 or comparable national
regulations) must be complied with.
Before undertaking any work, observe the following “5 safety rules”:
1. Isolate from supply
2. Secure against accidental reclosing
3. Verify the safe isolation from supply
4. Perform earthing and short-circuiting
5. Cover or fence in live parts in the vicinity
The main points to observe are:
•
The device is to be grounded to the substation ground before any other connections
are made.
•
Hazardous voltages can exist in the power supply and at the connections to current
transformers, voltage transformers, and test circuits.
•
Hazardous voltages can be present in the device even after the power supply
voltage has been removed, i.e. capacitors can still be charged.
•
After removing voltage from the power supply, wait a minimum of 10 seconds
before re-energizing the power supply. This wait allows the initial conditions to be
firmly established before the device is re-energized.
•
The limit values given in Technical Data (Section 4.1) must not be exceeded,
neither during testing nor during commissioning.
Warning!
When operating an electrical device, certain parts of the device inevitably have
dangerous voltages. Severe personal injury or property damage can result if the
device is not handled properly.
Only qualified people shall work on and around this device after becoming thoroughly
familiar with all warnings and safety notices in this instruction manual as well as with
the applicable safety steps, safety regulations, and precautionary measures.
Warning!
Primary tests must only be carried out by qualified personnel, who are familiar with the
commissioning of protection systems, the operation of the plant and the safety rules
and regulations (switching, earthing, etc.).
