ANNEXURE-A
CORONA AND RADIO INTERFERENCE VOLTAGE (RIV) TEST
1. General
Unless otherwise stipulated, all equipment together with its
associated connectors, where
applicable, shall be tested for external corona both by observing the
voltage level for the extinction of visible corona under falling power
frequency voltage and by measurement of radio interference voltage
(RIV).
2. Test Levels:
The test voltage levels for measurement of external RIV and for
corona extinction voltage are listed under the relevant clauses of the
specification.
3. Test Methods for RIV:
3.1 RIV tests shall be made according to measuring circuit as per
International Special-Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR)
Publication 16-1(1993) Part -1. The measuring circuit shall preferably be
tuned to frequency with 10% of 0.5 Mhz but other frequencies in the
range of 0.5 MHz to 2 MHz may be used, the measuring frequency being
recorded. The results shall be in microvolts.
3.2 Alternatively, RIV tests shall be in accordance with NEMA standard
Publication No. 107-1964, except otherwise noted herein.
3.3 In measurement of, RIV, temporary additional external corona
shielding may be provided. In measurements of RIV only standard
fittings of identical type supplied with the equipment and a simulation
of the connections as used in the actual installation will be permitted
in the vicinity within 3.5 meters of terminals.
3.4 Ambient noise shall be measured before and after each series of tests
to ensure that there is no variation in ambient noise level. If variation
is present, the lowest ambient noise level will form basis for the
measurements. RIV levels shall be measured at increasing and
decreasing voltages of 85%, 100%, 115% and 130% of the specified
RIV test voltage for all equipment unless otherwise specified. The
specified RIV test voltage for 220 kV is listed in the detailed
specification together with maximum permissible RIV level in
micro volts.
Page - 47
3.5 The metering instruments shall be as per CISPR recommendation or
equivalent device so long as it has been used by other testing
authorities.
3.6 The RIV measurement may be made with a noise meter. A calibration
procedure of the frequency to which noise meter shall be tuned shall
establish the ratio of voltage at the high voltage terminal to voltage
read by noisel meter.
4. Test Methods for Visible Corona
The purpose of this test is to determine the corona extinction voltage
of apparatus, connectors etc. The test shall be carried out in the same
manner as RIV test described above with the exception that RIV
measurements are not required during test and a search technique
shall be used near the onset and extinction voltage, when the test
voltage is raised and lowered to determine their precise values. The
test voltage shall be raised to 130% of RIV test voltage and
maintained there for five minutes. In case corona inception does not
take place at 130 %, test shall be stopped, otherwise test shall be
continued and the voltage will then be decreased slowly until all
visible corona disappears. The procedure shall be repeated at least 4
times with corona inception and extinction voltage recorded each
time. The corona extinction voltage for purposes of determining
compliance with the specification shall be the lowest of the four
values at which visible corona (negative or positive polarity)
disappears. Photographs with laboratory in complete darkness shall
be taken under test conditions, at all voltage steps i.e. 85%, 100%,
115% and 130%. Additional photographs shall be taken at corona
inception and extinction voltages. At least two views shall be
photographed in each case using Panchromatic film with an ASA
daylight rating of 400 with an exposure of two minutes at a lens
aperture of f/5.6 or equivalent. The photographic process shall be
such that prints are available for inspection and comparison with
conditions as determined from direct observation. Photographs shall
be taken from above and below the level of connector so as to show
corona on bushing, insulators and all parts of energised connectors.
The photographs shall be framed such that test object essentially, fills
the frame with no cut-off.
4.1 The test shall be recorded on each photograph. Additional photograph
shall be taken from each camera position with lights on to show the
relative position of test object to facilitate precise corona location from
the photographic evidence.
4.2 In addition to photographs of the test object preferably four
photographs shall be taken of the complete test assembly showing
Page - 48
relative positions of all the test equipment and test objects. These four
photographs shall be taken from four points equally spaced around
the test arrangement to show its features from all sides. Drawings of
the laboratory and test set up locations shall be provided to indicate
camera positions and angles. The precise location of camera shall be
approved by HVPNL’s inspector, after determining the best camera
locations by trial energisation of test object at a voltage which results
in corona.
4.3 The test to determine the visible corona extinction voltage need not
be carried out simultaneously with test to determine RIV levels.
4.4 However, both test shall be carried out with the same test set up and
as little time duration between tests as possible. No modification on
treatment of the sample between tests will be allowed. Simultaneous
RIV and visible corona extinction voltage testing may be permitted at
the discretion of HVPNL’s inspector if, in his opinion, it will not
prejudice other test.
5. Test Records:
In addition to the information previously mentioned and the
requirements specified as per CISPR or NEMA 107-1964 the following
data shall be included in test report:
a) Background noise before and after test.
b) Detailed procedure of application of test voltage.
c) Measurements of RIV levels expressed in micro volts at each
level.
d) Results and observations with regard to location and type of
interference sources detected at each step.
e) Test voltage shall be recorded when measured RIV passes
through 100 microvolts in each direction.
f) Onset and extinction of visual corona for each of the four tests
required shall be recorded.

17.2 General description of NIFPES
17.2.1 Schematic of the system

NIFPES should be a stand alone dedicated system for oil filled transformer. It
should have a fire extinguishing (F.E.) cubicle placed on a plinth at a distance of 6-10
mtrs. from the transformer. The F.E. cubicle may be connected to the transformer oil
tank (near its top) and to the oil pit (of capacity approx. equal to 10% of transformer
oil tank) from its bottom through oil pipes with gate valves. The F.E. cubicle should
house a pressurised nitrogen cylinder connected to the transformer oil tank (near its
bottom). Cable connections are to be provided from signal box placed on the
transformer to the control box in the control room and from control box to F.E.
cubicle. Fire detectors placed at the top of transformer are to be connected in parallel
to the signal box. The signal box may be connected to a pre-stressed non-return
valve fitted between the conservator tank and Buchholz relay. Control box is also to
be connected to relay panel in control room for system activation signals.
17.2.2 Operation
On receipt of all activating signals, drain of pre-determined quantity of oil commences
thus removing high temp. top oil layer. Simultaneously nitrogen is injected under high
pressure at a pre-fixed rate, stirring the oil thus bringing the temperature of top oil
layer down. Nitrogen occupies the space created by oil drained out and acts as an
insulating layer between the tank oil and fire on top cover. Pre-stressed non-return
valve blocks oil flow from conservator tank, thus isolating it & preventing aggravation
of fire.

7.4 Earthing for GIS
To limit the undesirable effects caused by circulating currents, the following

requirements should be met:
All metallic enclosures should normally operate at ground,
When grounded at the designated points, the bus enclosure design

should ensure that no significant voltage differences exist between
individual enclosure sections and that neither the supporting
structures nor any part of the grounding systems is adversely
influenced by the flow of induced currents.
To avoid the circulation of enclosure currents beyond regular return

path within the GIS assembly, power cable sheath grounds should
be tied to the ground system via connections that are separated
from the GIS enclosures. To facilitated this isolation, the design of
cable terminations (potheads) should be such that an isolating air
gap or proper insulation elements are provided.
Enclosure return currents also cannot be permitted to flow through

any externally mounted current transformers.
Further, GIS manufacturer shall provide and be responsible for:
Providing the subassembly-to-subassembly bonding to assure safe

voltage gradients between all intentionally grounded parts of the

strength to withstand electromagnetic forces and normal abuse,
and that are capable of carrying the anticipated maximum fault
current in that portion of the circuit without overheating.
Providing ground pads or connectors, or both, allowing, at least, for

two paths to ground from the main bus, or from each metallic
enclosure and auxiliary piece of GIS equipment designated for a
connection to the station ground if the main ground bus of the GIS
assembly does not actually exist. Proposing essential method for
connections between different type of metals, typically between a
copper cable or a similar ground conductor and aluminium
enclosure.
The following points should also be considered for GIS Grounding:
Precautions should be undertaken to prevent excessive currents

from being induced into adjacent frames, structures, or reinforcing
- 14 -
steel and to avoid establishment of current loops via other station
equipment, such as transformers or separate switchgear. If there is
the possibility of undesirable current loops via ground connections,
or if any sustained current path might partially close or pass
through grounded structures, the station grounding scheme and
the physical layout should be carefully reviewed.
Equal care is needed in the proximity of discontinuities in enclosure

grounding paths at the transformer connections to GIS and at the
interface points to conventional switchgear to prevent circulating
currents in the circuit breaker and transformer tank steel.
Where applicable, all isolating elements should be able to withstand to full

external to GIS. The isolation of metal parts shall be made by means of ceramic
or plastic inserts. Adequate creepage distance shall be ensured.
