Steps before doing short ckt test.

1. Connect short link between all 3 phases by copper bus bar [Gen full load
current capacity] in Gen HT panel end or at LAVT panel, in this both side CT
should come in to line

2. Generator protection bypass- i) UV3 LOW/ UV3 HIGH

ii) VOC6 LOW/VOC6 HIGH
iii) UI6 LOW/ UI6 HIGH
iv) Under frequency [Frequency stage 2]

3. Check that all CT secondary ckt, there should be no CT open at any place.

4. Rack out Excitation Transformer from LAVT panel.

5. Remove Excitation transformer cable which is coming from LAVT panel to

AVR panel and connect 180 V ac Variac supply.

6. Make field flashing 0% in AVR Module Unitrol 1000

7. If Unitrol –F system is there so use PMG supply for this test and also check
phase sequence of PMG and voltage between R-Y, Y-B, and B-R for PMG in
AVR panel.

8. Put Excitation in Local and in Manual mode

9. Give Excitation On command after Ready for excitation indication in AVR

panel.

10. Field Current [If] and Field Voltage [Vf] should be checked in Analog meter in
AVR panel according to Short CKT test Report from TDPS TEST

11. Push set point raise button and adjust Gen current 10% of Full load current as
per name plate.

12. Check Current value in REM / TRIVECTO METER / DIGITAL METERS as

well as back side in all TB, REM etc. by clip on meter.

13. Check current in mA in AVR panel for Y- phase and for R-phase.
14. Check at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of Generator FLC for all phases and in
each equipment which are previously checked and fill that data in the protocol
sheet.

15. In AVR module Generator current IM2 will not show, because Gen Bkr is
open and its contact is not coming to module.

16. Set Gen current upto relay over current settings and check whether relay gets
trip or not.

17. Decrease gradually upto 0 current.

18. Make excitation off.

19. Check that the all data and make short ckt characteristic curve and compare it
with TDPS test Report.

20. If it is o.k. then normalize all protection and remove short link.

21. If open ckt test is pending keep as it is the set up otherwise field flashing
should be 30 %, and remove variac supply and connect Excitation
transformer cable in AVR panel.
Open CKT test

1. Check that there should not be any short link between Gen to LAVT and
LAVT to Gen HT breaker panel.
2. All cables continuity should be checked.
3. There is not PT ckt shorted anywhere. Check PT neutral star point and it
should be earthed.
4. All Generator Protection should be in line.
5. Generator bkr should be in Rack out/Test position and OFF condition.
6. Rack out Excitation Transformer from LAVT panel.
7. Remove Excitation transformer cable which is coming from LAVT panel to
AVR panel and connect 180 V ac Variac supply.
8. Make field flashing 0% in AVR Module Unitrol 1000.
9. If Unitrol –F system is there so use PMG supply for this test and also check
phase sequence of PMG and voltage between R-Y, Y-B, and B-R for PMG in
AVR panel.
10. Put Excitation in Local and in Manual mode.
11. Give Excitation On command after Ready for excitation indication in AVR
panel.
12. Push set point raise button and Increase set point of voltage for 10% of
Generator Voltage.
13. Field Current [If] and Field Voltage [Vf] and Generator voltage between all
phase should be checked in Analog meter in AVR panel according to Open
CKT test Report from TDPS TEST.
14. Check in AVR module Generator Voltage and field current.
15. Check in REM / Trivectometer / Digital Meter and in all TB for phase to phase
and phase to neutral and also Frequency of the system.
16. Take reading for all TBs, and at each equipment.
17. Increase set point gradually for 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% and take readings.
18. Check phase sequence for all PTs.
19. Check synchronizing scheme for TG bkr selector switch on, digital frequency
meter and digital voltage meter for running bus and incoming bus.
20. Check syncroscope and 12 o clock position falling, bright/dark lamp, 25 M
acted or not for closing command of GEN BKR.
21. Decrease set point and made voltage 0.
22. Make excitation off.
23. Normalize all things, Field flashing make 30%, Remove variac supply and
Rack in Excitation transformer in LAVT panel and connect its cable.
24. Check that all data and made open circuit characteristic curve and compare it
with TDPS test Reports.
