Primary Current Injection Testing Procedure For TMD MCCBs
Primary Current Injection Testing Procedure For TMD MCCBs
• Torque wrench
Calibrated and adjustable torque wrenches to be used for tightening the
terminal screws
Toque specification should be 1-5 NM, 5-20 NM, 20-60NM are suggested as
these are covering all different ranges of MCCBs.
• Temperature sensor/meter
A temperature and Humidity meter is required to measure the ambient
temperature.
Least count the same should be 0.1 degree, It should be calibrated at least once
in a year.
• Timer
A time with least count of 0.1 Sec is required to check the trip time.
This should be integrated with the test bench, so that the timer will switch ON
when we inject the primary current to the product and stops when the breaker
trips.
This will avoid the human intervention delay
It also should be calibrated once in a year.
2. Connections:
• Individual phase testing:
This method is useful to check the tripping time of each phase of the MCCB, it is
recommended as we will come to all the phases of the MCCB are working as per
the requirement or not.
Phase
Neutral
Phase
Neutral
• Connections: Follow the cable connections either of the method based on your
requirement.
If the trip unit setting is 160A, and the ambient temperature is 25 Deg C, the
actual temperature to be considered is 172A. If you would like to do a testing at
2 times of the current, then we should inject 324A.
