Section 3 TEST METHODS


3.1 3.1.1 TEMPERATURE RISE TESTS Temperature Rise Tests

At the discretion of the manufacturers, temperature rise tests on electric power connectors shall be permitted to be conducted either indoors or outdoors. The temperature rise shall be determined at 100, 125, and 150% of the rated current in accordance with 3.1.3, with equilibrium temperatures obtained at each level. Equilibrium temperature is defined as a constant temperature (+/-2C) between three successive measurements taken five minutes apart. Measurements are made at the end of the first 30 minutes and at one-hour intervals thereafter until completion of the test. The rated current shall be in accordance with Table 2-1, 2-2, 2-3 or 2-4. This test is not intended to qualify the connectors for service higher than the normal rating (2.0). If the user desires to operate the conductor and connectors at a higher temperature rating, the test currents shall be raised to a value agreed upon between the manufacturer and user. 3.1.2 Test Loop Preparation

In order to eliminate heat sinks or hot spots on the test loop, conductors of the correct size and type shall have a length from each opening of the connector to the point where the connection is made to the circuit of at least 8X the conductor diameter, but not less than 1.2m (4 ft). 3.1.3 Current Values to be Used in the Temperature Rise Tests

The current to be used for temperature rise tests of various types of connectors shall be in accordance with the following: a) Terminal Connectors - The current shall be either the current rating of the equipment to which the connector is connected, or the current rating of the conductor for which the opening is designed, whichever is lower. b) Angle and Straight Connectors - The values of current shall be selected on the basis of the conductor that has the lower current-carrying value where the openings are of two sizes, and on the basis of the conductor that is common to both openings where the openings are of the same size. c) "T" Connectors - The test current shall be based on the conductor having the lowest current rating in the assembly.

Expansion Connector Measurements

Figure 3-1 THERMOCOUPLE LOCATIONS On expansion connectors, measurements shall be made in accordance with the following: a) Thermocouples shall be attached to the top surface of the individual flexible elements at the center of the free length. (See Figure 3-1.) b) The temperature of each flexible element forming the entire connector shall be measured. The highest temperature shall be recorded and compared to the requirements given in 2.5. c) All of the temperature measurements shall be averaged to obtain the average temperature rise of the expansion connector. 3.2 PULLOUT STRENGTH TESTS

The pullout strength test of connectors shall be made with both the maximum and minimum size of conductor, either aluminum or copper, that each particular connector is designed to accommodate. The connector shall be fastened to the conductor and the clamping bolts tightened in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendation. A tensile load shall be applied between the jaws at a crosshead speed not exceeding 20.8 mm per minute per meter of length (1/4 in. per minute per foot of length). 3.3 3.3.1 CORONA AND RIV TESTS Test Setup

Connectors shall be tested while assembled with the conductor on which they are to be used. Dimensionally equivalent tubing shall be permitted to be substituted for stranded conductors. The connector and conductor to be tested shall be in a clean, dry, and new condition. 3.3.2 Tests Performed under Single-Phase Conditions

Tests shall be permitted to be performed under single-phase conditions, but results must be corrected to provide the connector rating at the center phase of a three-phase system. This shall be done as follows: a) Determine the conductor voltage gradient by using the corona-extinction test voltage and the test condition in the formulae in Figures 3-2 and 3-3. b) Determine the line-to-ground voltage at which the connector will operate by using the voltage gradient determined in item 1 and the actual "operating rating" conditions in the formulae in Figures 3-4 and 3-5.

Examples Illustrating the Use of Table 4-2

4.6.3.1 Example 1 A straight coupler connector or a 90-degree (1.57 radian) elbow connector is used to connect a conductor of 1-1/2-in. copper pipe to another conductor of 1-1/2-in. copper pipe. After locating the proper line for the 1-1/2-in. copper pipe in the first column of the table, the total number of bolts required can be determined from the following information given for the connectors. For standard duty connectors: AXB=C 3x2=6 For standard duty terminal or stud connectors per 4.6.1.6 AXB=C 4 x 2= 8 Where: A = 1/2 in. diameter bolts per conductor B = Number of conductors C = Number of 1/2 in. diameter bolts per fitting Table 4-5 EXAMPLE 1

4.6.3.2 Example 2 A single size "T" connector is used to connect a 3-in. Schedule 40 aluminum main to a 397.5 kcmil ASCR (201 mm2) tap (outside diameter = 0.743 in., 18.87 mm). After locating the proper line for the 3-inch pipe in the first column of the table, it can be seen that the connectors require four 5/8-in. diameter bolts per conductor (see columns 13 and 14 of Table 4-2). After locating the proper line for the 0.743-in. outside diameter ACSR tap in the third column of the table, it can be seen that the connectors require four 1/2-inch diameter bolts per conductor (see columns 13 and 14 of Table 4-2). In this case and in accordance with 4.6.1.3, the manufacturer has the choice of using either four 1/2-in. diameter bolts per conductor or four 5/8-in. diameter bolts per conductor. 4.6.3.3 Example 3 A copper stud connector having a 1-1/8-in.-12 thread is connected to a copper cable ranging in size from 2 400 to 800 kcmil (203 to 405 mm ). This connector is considered a range taking connector. Using the fourth column for the stud and the second column for the copper cable, it can be seen that the connectors require the following bolts: a) Four 3/8 in.-diameter bolts per conductor for the 1-1/8 stud, range-taking column. b) Four 1/2-in. diameter bolts per conductor for the cable (based on largest bolts required for the range, covers both 3/0 AWG thru 500 and 550 thru 300 kcmil cable). In this case and in accordance with 4.6.1.3, the manufacturer has the choice of using either four 3/8-inch diameter bolts per conductor or four 1/2-in. diameter bolts per conductor. 4.7 TENSILE STRENGTH OF BOLTS

Bronze alloy and steel (including Stainless Steel) bolts shall have a minimum tensile strength of 480 MPa (70,000 psi) and aluminum alloy bolts shall have a minimum tensile strength of 380 MPa (55,000 psi). 4.8 EXPANSION CONNECTORS

Expansion connectors shall permit a total movement of one conductor in relation to the other as follows: a) For copper conductors31.8 mm (1-1/4 in.) minimum. b) For aluminum conductors or combination of aluminum and copper50.8 mm (2 in.) minimum. 4.9 TERMINAL CONNECTORS

On Offset Pad connectors there shall be a minimum clearance of 3.18 mm (1/8-in.) between any part of the clamp or hardware and the contact surface of the pad. (See Figures 4-4 and 4-5.)

Figure 4-4 BOLTED OFFSET PAD TERMINAL CONNECTOR

Figure 4-5 WELDED OFFSET PAD TERMINAL CONNECTOR 4.12 RECOMMENDATION FOR MAKING CONNECTIONS

The connector and conductor surfaces should be vigorously cleaned with a wire brush or emery cloth. A shiny, bright surface is needed. A contact compound should be applied immediately following the cleaning of the surface. Some connectors are plated with other metals. The surfaces of these connectors should not be abraded since this may remove a portion of the plating. They may be cleaned with a compatible solvent, if necessary. Since it is the aluminum (anode) that corrodes in a copper-aluminum electrolytic cell, aluminum cable and tubing should not be used with unplated copper alloy connectors. The reverse, however, (copper conductor and aluminum connector) is functionally acceptable provided the aluminum connector is "massive" in comparison to the copper conductor (i.e., the aluminum connector shall be sized to handle the full current rating of the copper conductor). A prime precaution necessary in making any copper-to-aluminum joint concerns the relative positions of copper and aluminum conductors. Copper salts will attack aluminum, whereas aluminum salts will not attack copper. Thus, it is best to install, wherever possible, the aluminum conductors above the copper conductor. This will prevent the washing of copper salts over the aluminum. In the case of an underhung copper switch pad, it is recommended that a copper bar extension first be bolted directly to the pad. This can be followed by directly bolting a massive aluminum connector properly wire-brushed and an appropriate joint compound applied to the upper surface of the bar extension. This installation procedure avoids the positioning of the aluminum terminal beneath the copper switch pad.

CC 1-2005 http//:www.wangd.com Page 26

Another common aluminum-to-copper connector is an aluminum conductor joined to a copper stud. Such a connection can be made satisfactorily by directly joining a massive aluminum connector, properly wire-brushed and an appropriate joint compound applied to the copper stud. Silver plated aluminum connectors should not be used on unplated aluminum bus. It is recommended that a welder qualified for the material perform the welding. Prior to welding, it is recommended that a test weld be made on a typical aluminum casting (see 2.9). 4.13 TONGUE MOUNTING FASTENERS

Where an aluminum connector is used for making a connection to a copper pad, tin-plated silicon-bronze or stainless steel bolts, nut and washers are suggested. Other suitable materials may also be used provided they meet the intent of the foregoing paragraph concerning galvanic corrosion. With steel or silicone bronze hardware, spring-type (Belleville) washers should be used to compensate for the different thermal coefficient of expansion between dissimilar metals and the flow of aluminum. Aluminum hardware is not recommended in a copper connection under corrosive conditions due to the effect of copper salts on the underside of the connection.

This standard supersedes and is an extensive revision of NEMA Standards Publication No. 1071964 (R 1971, 1976, 1981), Methods of Measurement of Radio Influence Voltage (RIV) of High-Voltage Apparatus. Users of this NEMA Standards Publication are advised that radio influence voltage (RIV) measurements are not meant to be similar to corona measurements even though the source phenomena may be the same. In the preparation of this Standards Publication, input of users and other interested par-ties has been sought and evaluated. Inquiries, comments, and proposed or recommended revisions should be submitted to the concerned NEMA subdivision by contacting the: Manager, Engineering Department National Electrical Manufacturers Association 2101 L Street, N.W.

Scope

This standard covers the methods of measurement of radio influence voltage in the frequency range of 0.015 to 30 megahertz that may be associated with high-voltage power apparatus used on transmission and distribution systems at line voltages of 0.6 kilovolts and above. The decision as to whether this standard applies to a specific test sample may be deter-mined from the specifications or standards which apply to the equipment in question. The radio influence voltage which is of principal concern in this standard is that voltage appearing at the terminals of test samples, or on conductors of power systems, which affects the coordination between power and communication circuits. Acceptable low level radio influence voltage measured on the terminals of power equipment may not affect the coordination between power systems and communication circuits, but, may be of concern in the life of the equipment's internal insulation. Because of the large voltage range and, consequently, the large change in dimensions of highvoltage test equipment, it is not feasible to define a single standard high- voltage test circuit. The general form of the test circuit is defined, and nominal limits are placed on components of the circuit. In order that uniform and significant radio influence voltage measurements may be made, it is necessary that the test circuits be accurately calibrated as described in this standard. By means of this calibration, the effects of circuit elements and stray circuit constants of the test circuit are taken into consideration.

Humidity

Tests are conducted under atmospheric conditions prevailing at the time and place of the test, but it is recommended that tests be avoided when the vapor pressure exceeds 0.6 inch of mercury. Although there are no correction factors to cover the effect of humidity and barometric pressure currently, it is recommended that the barometric pressure and wet and dry-bulb thermometer readings be recorded so that, if suitable correction factors are determined in the future, they may be applied to previous measurements. Authorized Engineering Information 5-27-1987. 2.1.4 Temperature The ambient temperatures of the testing location should be within the range of 10C to 40C (50 F to 104 F). Authorized Engineering Information 5-27-1987. 2.2 TEST SAMPLE SETUP

NEMA Standard 5-27-1987 2.3.4 Monitoring Detector Function Selection The detector function selector switch shall be set to the quasi-peak position on the radio-noise

When it is desired to identify the character of the RIV, measurements should be monitored using either a headset, loud-speaker, or oscilloscope. Precautions should be taken to determine whether these devices affect the radio-noise meter indications during measurements. Authorized Engineering Information 5-27-1987. 2.3.5 Preferred Measurement Frequency

Radio interference studies have indicated that if radio influence voltages are generated by power system apparatus, readings can be obtained at 1 megahertz, the approximate midpoint of the AM broadcast band. Because of this, radio influence tests at the single frequency of 1 megahertz can be considered to produce representative test results, and tests on high-voltage power system apparatus may be carried out at this single frequency. Authorized Engineering Information 5-27-1987. 2.3.6 Other Measurement Frequencies

For tests requiring measurements from 0.015 to 30 megahertz, the test frequencies given in Table 2-1 are recommended. Authorized Engineering Information 5-27-1987.

Section 3 LABORATORY AND FACTORY RIV TESTS0.015 TO 30 MEGAHERTZ


3.1 TEST CIRCUIT For laboratory and factory RIV tests, the circuit shown in Figure 3-1 shall be used. Because of the wide frequency range to be covered by this test circuit and the variable attenuation factors which will occur due to stray circuit constants (see C, and C 2, stray capacitances, and the series inductance, La), the circuit shall be calibrated for each frequency at which RIV measurements are made. Below 1.0 megahertz where the reactance of the high-voltage coupling capacitor, C, is generally high, a variable inductor (circuit element L 1) which is capable of producing series resonance in the high-voltage measuring circuit at the test frequency shall be introduced. NEMA Standard 5-27-1987.

The Figure 3-1 circuit shall be calibrated by applying at points " a " and "b," with the test specimen not connected; the unmodulated sine wave output of a signal generator tuned to the desired test frequency. The output of this signal generator shall be set to a level at least ten times the ambient noise level which is measured by the radio-noise meter when tuned to the output of the signal generator. If tests are to be made at or above 1.0 megahertz, switch S1 shall be closed.

The inductance of L 1 shall be held constant while the voltages Eab (signal generator voltage at point ab) and Ecd (voltage at the radio-noise meter terminals, point cd) are measured. NEMA Standard 5-27-1987. 3.2.2 Energized Power System

The Figure 3-2 circuit shall be calibrated by applying at points a and b, with point a not connected to the power conductor PC, the unmodulated sine wave output of a signal generator tuned to the desired test frequency.

Both calibrating voltages (Eab and Ecd) shall be measured by the same instrument so that error is minimized. The coaxial cable, CA, of the length to be used for RIV measurements shall be in the circuit when the test circuit calibration is made. NEMA Standard 5-27-1987. 3.2.5 Circuit RIV Factor (P)

The circuit RIV factor (P) should be held above 0.25 at midband at approximately 1 megahertz. The circuit RIV Factor (P) for other test frequencies between 0.03 and 5 megahertz should preferably be held greater than 0.2. Authorized Engineering Information 5-27-1987. 3.2.6 RIV Factor Curve

Since this factor (P) will vary with frequency, a curve of the RIV factor can be obtained for the test circuit. The calibration curve so obtained may not be valid if the circuit components or the circuit configuration is changed. Authorized Engineering Information 5-27-1987, 3.3 RIV METER READINGS In carrying out radio influence voltage tests with the sample positioned at point ab, RIV meter readings shall be made in the manner described in 2.3. The reading so obtained shall then be divided by the circuit RIV factor (P), at the specific test frequency, to obtain the RIV level of the equipment under test. NEMA Standard 5-27-1987.

Section 4 FIELD MEASUREMENTS OF RIV-0.015 TO 30


4.1 MEASURING CIRCUIT

For the measurements of RIV from the conductors and apparatus of an energized power system, the measuring circuit shown in Figure 3-2 may be used. Extreme care should be taken to insure that the application of this measuring circuit to the power system does not interfere with the normal operation of the circuit and that proper grounding of the low-voltage measuring circuit is carried out so that the equipment and the operators are not endangered. Authorized Engineering Information 5-27-1987. 4.2 FIELD MEASUREMENT CIRCUIT CALIBRATION

The measuring circuit may be calibrated in accordance with 3.1 before the high-voltage coupling capacitor is connected to the power system. In carrying out this field calibration, precautions should be taken to insure that radio influence fields and conducted influence voltages (RIF and RIV) from the power system do not affect the calibration.

The high-voltage coupling capacitor of the required voltage rating shall be free of RIV within the voltage range of the test circuit. NEMA Standard 5-27-1987, 5.7.2 Coupling Capacitor

A coupling capacitor of small capacitance will draw a minimum current, but at the lower test frequencies it will appear as an excessively high reactive element and produce a low RIV factor (P) as described in Section 3. It is recommended that the capacitance be not less than 0.001 microfarad. The capacitance from the bottom end of the coupling capacitor to ground should be kept small so that this capacitance will not appreciably reduce the impedance of 150 ohms obtained from the metering system (Figure 3-3).

A corona-free bus shall be connected from the high-voltage coupling capacitor to the test sample. This bus shall be supported by a minimum number of RIV-free insulators to minimize stray capacitance (C2) to ground and shall be as short as possible to minimize series inductance (Ls). NEMA Standard 5-27-1987. 5.11 CONDUCTOR DIAMETER

The smooth conductor diameter for a corona-free bus for voltages up to 400 kilovolts may be obtained by allowing at least 0.01 inch of bus diameter per kilovolt of test voltage.
