7.2
INSULATION TESTING
7.2.1
Insulation tests shall be carried out during construction and at the pre-commissioning stage, prior to the
energisation of equipment or cables. The following two methods shall be used:
Insulation resistance testing, applicable to all electrical equipment including, but not limited to,
generators, transformers, switchgear, motors, UPS systems, distribution boards, trace heating
installations, lighting and small power installations, field cables, earthing and bonding systems and
all other items of electrical equipment. Where equipment contains components, such as silicon
diodes or transistors, or wiring, that is susceptible to damage by over voltage, these items shall be
disconnected prior to commencing tests.
High voltage testing, applicable to switchgear rated at 400V and above and HV cables.
7.2.2
Test voltages shall be in accordance with the relevant IEC Standard or manufactures recommendation and
shall be specified in the equipment commissioning procedure.
7.2.3
Insulation Resistance Tests
7.2.3.1 Insulation resistance tests shall be conducted prior to executing high voltage tests. Insulation resistance shall
be measured by applying a d.c test voltage from a Megger insulation meter or equal. For correct comparison
of test data, any subsequent insulation resistance tests should be carried out at the same voltage level as the
initial test.
7.2.3.2 The measured resistance value is also dependent on the temperature of the insulation and shall be corrected
as necessary. As a guide, the insulation resistance of windings reduces by approximately 50% for each 10C
rise in temperature.
7.2.4
High Voltage Withstand Tests
7.2.4.1 Prior to and on completion of conducting high voltage tests, insulation resistance tests shall have been carried
out.
7.2.4.2 High voltage testing may be carried out by applying either an a.c. power frequency voltage, a very low
frequency voltage (VLF) or a d.c. voltage, at a level above the operating voltage, in accordance with the
relevant International Standards.
7.2.4.3 Testing at power frequency is preferred and a.c test equipment must be capable of supplying the capacitive
current requirement of the item under test. As such test equipment is bulky, and normally impractical for field
use, d.c test equipment may be used for cables whereas a.c test equipment shall be used for switchgear.
Cable tests shall record values of leakage current versus time.
7.2.4.4 High voltage a.c testing of major electrical equipment will have been conducted at the Suppliers works to
values specified in the relevant International Standards. As repeated high voltage testing may stress winding
insulation such tests shall not be applied at site to generators, motors or transformers. If, however, for special
reasons (e.g. when equipment has been partially assembled at site) such tests are considered to be
necessary, they may be carried out after consultation and agreement with the COMPANY and the Suppliers
Site Representative but at a reduced voltage level corresponding to 70% of the factory test voltage.
7.2.5
Polarisation Index
7.2.5.1 Polarisation Index tests will be carried out on all HV motors. The test results will be compared with those
values obtained during the Factory Acceptance Tests.
7.2.5.2 The Polarisation Index is the ratio of the value of insulation resistance measured after one minute to that
measured after ten minutes, during continuous testing, at the appropriate voltage, ie: PI = R10 min/R1 min.
7.2.5.3 The Polarisation Index, being a ratio, is practically independent of winding temperature and test voltage. The
ten minute measurement allows the capacitive current, the leakage current over the surface of the insulation
and the dielectric absorption current to stabilise.
7.2.5.4 The Polarisation Index gives an indication of the condition of winding insulation, with regard to its dryness and
cleanliness. The value will be lower for dirty, wet or chemically contaminated windings.

Rev D02. 11 Feb 08
Interpretation of Results
7.2.6.1 Should values of insulation resistance or Polarisation Index fall below the minimum values specified, the
equipment should not be energized nor subjected to high voltage testing. The equipment and windings should
be heated and dried out prior to re-test.
7.2.6.2 Should a flash-over occur during high voltage testing then the test shall be deemed to have failed. Appropriate
remedial measures, such as cleaning, drying or, if necessary, repair should be adopted after which re-testing
shall take place.
7.2.7
Insulating Oil Tests
7.2.7.1 High voltage withstand tests shall be carried out using a standard Foster oil test set, or equal, with 25mm
diameter sphere head electrodes and a sphere gap of 2.5mm.
7.2.7.2 The minimum breakdown voltage shall be 30kV. The test sample shall be tested 6 times without breakdown
using the same cell filling.
7.2.8
Bearing Insulation Tests
7.2.8.1 Bearing Insulation tests shall be carried out on all HV motors.

7.2.8.2 The method of insulating bearings, as a means of controlling shaft current, depends upon the design and type
of construction and the methods employed to support the bearings.
7.2.8.3 In the case of pedestal bearings, or sleeve bearings, where housings are completely insulated from the body of
the machine, the insulation may be checked with the machine coupled and running at normal speed. This is to
establish that an oil film in the bearing will prevent electrical contact between shaft and bearing. An ohm-meter
applied across the insulation should indicate a resistance of >10k; values below this shall be investigated.
7.2.8.4 In the case of bearings having internally insulated shells or having insulated shafts, measurements shall be
carried out with the machine uncoupled and stationary. If, however, only one bearing is insulated verification is
limited to the inspection of the Suppliers QC documentation.
7.2.8.5 Where double insulation is applied to pedestal bearings, i.e. insulated around the bearing shell and at the
pedestal base, insulation resistance measurement at the mid section with respect to earth will indicate if either
insulation is bridged.
7.2.8.6 All tests shall be carried out in accordance with Suppliers instructions.
7.3
CONDUCTIVITY AND EARTH RESISTANCE TESTS
7.3.1
Conductivity Tests
7.3.1.1 Conductivity tests shall be carried out on switchgear bus-bar connections, and switchgear earth system joints,
in order to establish their tightness and condition. Conductivity testing shall be carried out with a Ducter (or
equal) low-resistance test set having a 20A, d.c, output.
7.3.1.2 Test results shall be recorded across all connections and for identical connections the measured values shall
not differ by more than 20% from each other.
7.3.2
Earth Resistance Tests
7.3.2.1 Earth resistance tests shall be conducted in accordance with the relevant International Standards.
7.3.2.2 All earth electrodes shall be tested by measurement of the resistance of the electrode against the mass of
earth, using a purpose made test set.
7.3.2.3 On offshore installations, random continuity checks using a Ducter or similar low resistance ohmmeter shall
be carried out to verify that equipment is effectively bonded to the structure.
7.4
EQUIPMENT WIRING AND TERMINAL CHECKS
7.4.1
Electrical wiring shall be checked against the Suppliers Schematic Diagrams and Diagrams of Connections, or
against the Contractors Interconnection Diagrams, as applicable.
7.4.2
The tightness of all terminals shall be verified.
