Important notes: During the commissioning
tests, the record of the values found for each
type of test performed shall be made for
comparisons with the results that will be
measured during the lifetime of the CVT. The
values measured in the factory tests are
important, but also important are the results
of the commissioning, for each CVT. The
comparisons between the results of the tests
make sense for the data measured in the
field, since they determine the monitoring
and evolution of the values and the
performance of each CVT, when a history of
their lifetime can be obtained.

8.1. On-site test methods

In general, on-site test equipment can
provide a test voltage of up to 10 kV

precautions and test principles given
below are for reference.

8.2. Care and precaution

Before handling capacitive units,
short circuit and ground them for at
least 30 seconds to avoid any
possibility of stored loads.
• The maximum voltage that can be
applied to the carrier terminal cable
after removal from the "HF" terminal
(CD low voltage terminal) is 2 kV.
• The maximum voltage that can be
applied to the ground terminal of the
EMU ("N" or "H2") after removing it is
2 kV.
• The nominal voltage of the
intermediate voltage terminal (or
nominal voltage of the EMU) is

• After removing the "HF" and "N" or

energize the unit at rated voltage.
• Apply the voltage in a controlled
manner.
• Redo any connection that has been
removed during the on-site tests.
