• Primary Equipment Testing

Power Generation to the User

During commissioning or periodical inspections, we test the installed primary equipment.

Our engineers test instrument transformers for polarity and phase allocation respectively the allocation of protection and measurement cores to the correct device. We also measure values for the protection calculations like for example the impedance of an overhead lines for the parametrisation of a distance protection relay or the grounding impedance or step voltage for the safety review of an installation.

Examples of Services and Prices for Primary Testing

Current Transformer

Testing of three current transformers with one core each. Basis for the fix price offer is the available documentation of the protection cabinet and good accessibility of the current transformers.

The fix price includes time for preparation and documentation on INP standard test protocols, 2 hours for site specific training and introduction, expenses and accommodation if required as well as the journey up to 50km from CH-5400 Baden.

Benefits
