1. Important Safety Notes & Warnings

1.1 Safe Practices

It is mandatory that the instructions provided within this

booklet be consulted to ensure safe interaction between

the device and personnel and/or the facility and its

equipment. The user has the responsibility of establishing

a safety program that addresses the proper interaction

with the equipment. This booklet is not intended to replace

a safety program.

Only qualified persons, as defined in the National Electric

Safety Code, who are familiar with the installation and

maintenance of medium voltage circuits and equipment

should be permitted to work with these Ground & Test

Devices.

1.2 Safety Notations

Safety notations alert personnel to possible death, injury

or property damage situations. The safety notations

appear before the step in which the condition applies. The

one safety notice and three hazard levels notations are:

Personnel installing, operating, or maintaining this

equipment must have thorough knowledge of all

applicable local, regional, industry, government, and

OSHA safety procedures as well as commonly accepted

safe working practices. Personnel working in or around

this equipment must also exhibit common sense and good

judgment regarding the potential hazards for themselves

and other personnel in the area. These instructions are

intended for use by fully qualified personnel and are not a

substitute for adequate training, experience and

supervision.

Should clarification or additional information be required,

refer the matter to your nearest ABB Sales office. When

communicating with ABB regarding the product covered

by this IOM Manual, always reference the ABB assigned

Order number.

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not

avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not

avoided, could result in death or serious injury

WARNING

Indicates information considered important, but

not hazard-related (e.g., messages relating to

property damage).

NOTICE

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not

avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

2. Introduction & Safe Practices

2.1 Scope

The purpose of this manual is to provide instructions for

unpacking, storage, installation, operation and

maintenance for the Manual Ground & Test Devices. This

manual should be carefully read and used as a guide

during installation, commissioning, operation, and

maintenance.

The specific ratings of each Manual Ground & Test Device

are listed on the individual nameplates. Manual Ground &

Test Devices are safety devices. As such, proper

operation is required to satisfy the device’s intended

purpose. Specific safe operating procedures for the use of

the device must be developed by the user to satisfy

individual requirements. Additionally, Ground & Test

Devices are maximum rated devices. Therefore, they

should not under any circumstances be applied outside of

their nameplate ratings.

This booklet provides information for the Manual G&T

Device with ratings shown in Table 1. All information in

this booklet was current at the time of printing.

2.2 Receiving, Handling, and Storage

Ground & Test devices are subject to complete factory

production tests and inspection prior to packaging and

shipment. The shipping package is designed to provide

reasonable protection during shipment and to provide

convenient handling.

2.2.1 Receiving

Immediately upon receipt of a G&T device, examine the

cartons to determine if any damage or loss was sustained

during transit. If damage or indication of rough handling is

evident, file a damage claim at once with the carrier and

promptly notify the nearest district office. ABB is not

responsible for damage of goods after delivery to the

carrier. Use care in unpackingto avoid damaging anyG&T

device parts.

Unpack the G&T device as soon as possible after receipt.

If unpacking is delayed, difficulty may be experienced in

making a claim for damages not evident upon receipt.

Check the contents of each carton against the packing list

before discarding any packing material. If any discrepancy

is discovered, promptly notify your ABB sales

representative. Information specifying the purchase order

number, carton number and part numbers of damaged or

missing parts should accompany the claim.

2.2.2 Handling

G&T device shipping containers are designed to be

handled by a fork lift. Lifting equipment may be used to

uncrate the device. Lifting provisions are provided. Once

removed from the shipping container, the G&T may be

transported using the lift truck. This is the preferred

transport method.

2.2.3 Storage

Store all equipment indoors in a well-ventilated area. For

G&T devices shipped in crates, store G&T devices upright

in their original shipping carton oriented as indicated on

the shipping crates. If the G&T devices are not placed in

service for some time, it is advisable to provide adequate

means of environmental protection. This may be done by

keeping the G&T device in its original shipping container

and storing in a warm, dry and uncontaminated

atmosphere.

The G&T device should be stored to minimize

condensation. Moisture can cause deterioration of metal

parts and high voltage insulation. Cover with heavy

wrapping paper or other moisture barrier. Use materials

that will not trap moisture inside the unit. Do not cover

louvered open-ings. The storage building should have a

well-drained paved floor. The temperature should be

above 60°F. The air should be dry (approxi-mately 50%

maximum humidity).

Pre-usage inspection and maintenance, if necessary, is

recommended due to the intermittent nature of the usage

of the device. See Section 4 “Maintenance”of this

document for more information.

3.3 Testing

Prior to each use, the following tests should be completed

to assure the G&T device is in good condition.

3.3.1 AC Withstand Voltage Test

1. Remove all grounding cables

2. For each terminal complete the following test

sequence:

a. Connect the high potential lead to one pole

b. Ground the remaining poles and G&T device

frame

c. Start machine with output potential at 0 (zero)

Vac/Vdc.

d. For a rated voltage of 15 kV, increase the

potential to 27 kVac RMS. If using dc, the test

potential should be 38 kVdc. For a rated

voltage of 27 kV, increase the potential to 45

kVac RMS or 45 kVdc if performing a DC test.

e. Hold for one minute

f. Decrease potential to 0 (zero) Vac/Vdc and

turn off machine

3. Repeat this testing for the remaining terminals

A successful withstand indicates satisfactory insulation

strength of the primary circuit.

3.3.2 Current Path Resistance

1. Connect the grounding cables for the terminal set to

be used (upper or lower)

2. Connect one lead from the test set to the ground

shoes on the bottom of the G&T device.

3. Connect the other lead from the test set to the

primary contact of the G&T device terminal to be

tested.

4. Measure the end-to-end grounding path resistance

through the primary disconnect, grounding cables

and ground shoes using a digital low resistance

ohmmeter (DLRO).

The measured resistance should not exceed 100 micro-

ohms.
