1.6 Induced voltage measurement check.

1.6.1 Ground the transmission conductor before connecting the test

Lead. Remove the ground wire at both line and measure the
voltage using the HV probe and multimeter.
1.6.2 Record the measurement for all the 3 phases.
1.6.3 Ground the transmission conductor at the end side for both line.
Measurement the voltage using the HV probe and multimeter.
1.6.4 Record the measurement for all the 3 phases.

1.7 Line phasing check.

1.7.1 Using the 5kV insulation test set, check the phasing of the
transmission line to ensure correct as per marking.
1.7.2 When inducted is voltage higher than 1 kV, the test can be
performed by grounding one point of the line under test. Connect
the yellow and blue to earth and underground the red phase (the
grounded phase has no voltage).
1.7.3 Repeat test no 11.5.3.2 for yellow and blue phasing check.
1.7.4 Record the result.

1.8 Insulation Resistance tests.

1.8.1 Using the 5 kV insulation test set, check the insulation of the
transmission line. Check for each phase to ground and phase-to-
phase conditions.
1.8.2 If induced voltage if higher than 1 kV in non-earthed condition, the
test cannot be performed. It will damage the test equipment. From
the results of the induced voltage measurement, it show the
conductor not shorted to ground.

1.9 Positive sequence Impedance Test (Z1).

1.9.1 Ground all three phases line at remote end. Check the induced
voltage in this condition. (Note : If the induced voltage is higher
than 100 V all the testing involve the impedance test cannot be
proceed)
1.9.2 Connect the surge/lighting arrester and injection test equipment
(T3000) as per FIGURE 2.
