Test Insturments Flashcards
Piezo
(Pumpkin head)
High Voltage detector, noncontact voltage detector
Meggar
Megohmeter- hi resistance ohmmeter High DC voltage
Spot test
60 seconds,verifies integrity of insulation, most common test. (1 meg per/1000v)
Dielectric absorption test
10 minutes, verifies absorption characteristics of insulation are in good working order
Insulation step voltage test
Creates a electrical stress on internal insulation cracks to reveal aging or damage. Step up voltage
Height meter
Measure height of overhead cable’s to ensure correct height
Hipot
To ensure that there is no chance of electric shock or damage
*tests for leakage current
Contact meter
Voltmeter specifically designed to take measurements on high-voltage cable
Noncontact meter
Piezo
High-voltage amp meter
Test instrument specifically designed to take current measurements on high-voltage
High-voltage phasing tester
Identifies high-voltage phases
High voltage test probe for a DMM
Accessory to increase voltage measurements range above the DMM listed range
Design test
Test on newly design components and equipment to failure
Production test
Test is performed to meet codes and standards to ensure quality control
Acceptance test
Immediately after install but before put into service
