Vacuum Interrupter Testing A vacuum interrupter tester works by applying a high DC voltage across the interrupter's open contacts to check for a loss of vacuum or other defects. A good vacuum interrupter will have high dielectric strength, preventing a flashover or excessive leakage current, indicated by a green light. If the interrupter is defective and the vacuum is poor, the tester will detect a flashover or high leakage current and indicate a failure .

When testing a current transformer (CT) , it is crucial to short the secondary windings of the other CT cores not under test. This practice is essential for safety and accuracy reasons . Below is a comprehensive breakdown of this procedure. KPM CT PT Analyzer at manufacturer's facility 1. Prevent Dangerous High Voltages (During Primary Current Injection Method) A current transformer behaves like a step-up voltage transformer when its secondary is open. If a CT secondary is left open while...
