The GIS shall be installed completely and gas-filled at its rated filling density. the HV may be produced by: - test sets with a test transformer, - test sets with a variable resonant reactor for constant frequency, - test sets with constant resonant reactor for variable frequency, - Energizing power or voltage transformers from the low-voltage side which entails no dismantling after testing. Some parts may be disconnected for the test, either because of their high charging current or because of their effect on voltage limitation, such as - High voltage cables and overhead lines; - Power transformers and, occasionally, voltage transformer; - Surge arresters and protective spark gaps. Every newly installed part of a GIS shall be subjected to HV test on site. In the case of extensions, in general, the adjacent existing part of the GIS should be de-energized and earthed during the HV test. Application of the test voltage may be necessary after repair or maintenance of major parts or after installation of extensions. The test voltage may then have to be applied to existing parts in order to test all section involved. In those cases, the same procedure should be followed as for newly installed GIS. The HV test shall be distinguished by their progressive voltage increase, performed in order to achieve some form of electrical conditioning of the equipment before commissioning. The term electrical conditioning means a progressive application of an AC voltage either by steps or continuously according to the manufacturer’s recommended test procedure. It may be performed by the manufacturer as part of the gas-filling process on site in order to move possible particles towards areas with low field strength, where they become harmless. Electrical conditioning is not requirement and does not replace the AC voltage test, unless the test voltage is increased up to the specified value. Nevertheless, a disruptive discharge should be reported to the user as it may result in weakening of the insulation. The HV voltage tests are especially sensitive in detecting contaminations (e.g. free moving conducting particles), and are, in most cases, also sufficient in detecting abnormal field configurations. it is often convenient to divide the whole installation of GIS into sections by opening circuit breakers and/or disconnectors for at least one of the following reasons: - To limit the capacitive load on the test voltage source. - To facilitate the location of disruptive discharges. - To limit the discharged energy if a disruptive discharge occurs. For 3-phase enclosed GIS, the specified test voltage shall be applied between each phase conductor, one at time, and the enclosure, the other phase conductors being connected to the earthed enclosure. The insulation between phase conductors shall not be subjected to any other separate HV test on site. All CT's secondary winding should be short circuited during the test. Before the HV test the contractor should measure the PD level and record it and; at the end of the test; subtract this value from the result DATE: TESTING ENGINEER CSD- Engineer Signature: Signature: Name Name : : SITE TEST REPORT Date : Contractor’s name: Customer: NG-SA Name of substation: Al-Mazroeyah 115/13.8KV Substation NG-SA Contract No. : 4400008903 GAS INSULATED SWITCHGEAR (GIS) Panel/ Bay No: Equip.

Ref.: Page 15 of 17 Record No.: Test procedure The capacitance current (mA) should be measured at all voltage steps and compared with the estimated value Estimated value of capacitance current = V 2 π f C V: the test voltage (V). F: the frequency of the applied voltage (Hz). C: the capacitance of GIS (get from the manufacturer) (F). Procedure A (recommended for 170kV and below) - electrical conditioning (depend upon the manufacturer) For example 110kV SIEMENS GIS as follows: 1.2 U / √3 for 15 min. then U for 3 min. then the HV for 1 min. ( U is the rated line voltage) - HV test for a duration of 1 min. at the value specified in the table no. ( 1 ) Procedure B (recommended for 245kV and above) - Electrical conditioning (depend upon the manufacturer). - HV test for a duration of 1 min. at the value specified in the table no. ( 1 ) - Partial discharge measurements according to table no. (2) When decreasing the HV. Procedure C (recommended for 245kV and above, alternative to procedure B): - Electrical conditioning (depend upon the manufacturer). - HV test for a duration of 1 min. at the value specified in the table no. ( 1 ) - Lightning impulse tests with three impulses of each polarity and with the value specified in table no. (1). Partial discharge measurement Partial discharge measurements may be helpful in detecting certain kinds of faults during site tests and determining the need for maintenance of the equipment after a period in service. Assessment of the test - The switchgear shall be considered to have passed the test if each section has withstood the specified test voltage without any disruptive discharge. The partial discharge measurements within the limits (10 pC). In the event of disruptive discharge occurring during dielectric tests on site, the test shall be repeated.

No.: Page 16 of 17 Dwg. Ref.: Record No.: Repetition tests The procedure to be implemented following a disruptive discharge during dielectric tests on site may depend on several factors which include: - The type of disruptive discharge (breakdown in self-restoring or non-self-restoring insulation). - Magnitude of the arc energy dissipated during the discharge. - Shape and material of the solid insulation. Consideration of these and any other relevant factors should allow a procedure to be established and agreed between the manufacturer and SEC. A recommended procedure is given below but should be treated only as a guide. Variations may be acceptable, depending on the significance of the factors involved. Recommended procedure for repetition tests Procedure A: If the disruptive discharge occurs along the surface of solid insulation it is recommended that wherever practicable the compartment should be opened and the insulation carefully inspected for impairments. After taking any necessary remedial action, the compartment should then be subjected to the specific dielectric test once more. Procedure B: A disruptive discharge in the gas may be due to contamination or a surface imperfection which may be burned away during the discharge. It may be acceptable, therefore, that the test may be repeated at the specified test voltage. Another test voltage may be agreed between manufacturer and user before the site tests have been started. If the repetition test fails, again procedure A should be followed.
