1- Earth Resistance Test :

Earth resistance test should be carried out in timely as quarterly basis because with time the lack of moisture the soil resistivity can be increase as above 2 ohm. High resistance is the cause of interruption of current flow in quickly so resistance value should be less then 2 ohm. So in tis way the earth resistance test is required in timely.

2-Single Phase Motor Test:

Single phase motor is used widely in domestic, residential, societies , industries and commercial. We utilize to the motor as different types but sometimes motor does not work then we think what happened.
If the motor is malfunctioning then the motor will have to test. After testing we can know about actual situation of motor health. Here we are going to discuss about single phase motor testing. Single-Phase Motor Testing


3-Single Phase Motor Test with Megger:

Single phase motor is checked when it is faulty or after rewinding. Many methods are available for testing or check single phase motor. Single phase motor has two windings, one is running winding second is starting winding. Firstly, power connection is disconnected from connection plate then motor can be tested below mentioned procedures.

Megger is a test instruments which is used in commonly for winding coil insulation test, open circuit test, short circuit test. Single-Phase Motor Testing

4-Single Phase Motor Test with Multimeter:

Single phase motor is checked when it is faulty or after rewinding. Many methods are available for testing or check single phase motor. Multimeter test methods are given below mentioned.
Multimeter is a test instruments which is used in commonly for winding coil insulation test, open circuit test, short circuit test. Single-Phase Motor Multimeter Tests


5-Single Phase Motor Test with Testing lamp:

Single phase motor is checked when it is faulty or after rewinding. Many methods are available for testing or check single phase motor. Testing lamp methods are given below mentioned.
Testing lamp is a test methods which is used in commonly for winding coil insulation test, open circuit test, short circuit test. A test lamp is connected with testing coil in series. Single-Phase Motor Testing Lamp Tests


6-Three Phase Motor Testing Methods:

Three phase motor is used widely in domestic, residential, societies , industries and commercial. We utilize to the motor as different types but sometimes motor does not work then we think what happened.
If the motor is malfunctioning then the motor will have to test. After testing we can know about actual situation of motor health. Here we are going to discuss about three phase motor test methods. Three-Phase Motor Test Methods


7-Three Phase Motor Test:

Three phase motor is used widely in domestic, residential, societies , industries and commercial. We utilize to the motor as different types but sometimes motor does not work then we think what happened.
If the motor is malfunctioning then the motor will have to test. After testing we can know about actual situation of motor health. Here we are going to discuss about single phase motor testing. Three-Phase Motor Testing


8-Three Phase Motor Test with Megger:

Three phase motor is checked when it is faulty or after rewinding. Many methods are available for testing or check three phase motor. Megger test method is given below mentioned.
Three phase motor has three windings, one is R phase, second is Y phase and third is B phase. Firstly, power connection is disconnected from connection plate then motor can be tested below mentioned procedures. Three-Phase Motor Megger Test


9-Three Phase Motor Test with Multimeter:

Three phase motor is checked when it is faulty or after rewinding. Many methods are available for testing or check three phase motor. Multimeter test method is given below mentioned.
Multimeter is a test instruments which is used in commonly for winding coil insulation test, open circuit test, short circuit test. Three-Phase Motor Multimeter Tests


10-Three Phase Motor Test with Testing lamp:

Three phase motor is checked when it is faulty or after rewinding. Many methods are available for testing or check three phase motor. Testing lamp methods are given below mentioned.
Testing lamp is a test methods which is used in commonly for winding coil insulation test, open circuit test, short circuit test. A test lamp is connected with testing coil in series. Three-Phase Motor Testing Lamp Tests

11-Cable Test with Multimeter:

Cable is a group of insulated conductor. Different types cable are used for current carrying in electricity system like as HT cable for HT system, LT cable for LT system and other general utilization cable. Low volt or small cable can be tested with multimeter. READ MORE

12-Cable Test with Megger:

Cable is a group of insulated conductor. Different types cable are used for current carrying in electricity system like as HT cable for HT system, LT cable for LT system and other general utilization cable. Low volt or small cable can be tested multimeter but power cable or high voltage cable will be tested through Megger which is available in 500V DC, 1KV DC, 2KV DC, 5KV DC. Cable Insulation Resistance Test

13 - HT Protection Relay Testing::

Now a days the digital protection relay mostly are using. If we want to check health performance then we will have to test of relay. First relay performance test is carried out after commissioning after that relay testing is carried out as base of annually time schedule.
Pre set value or protection relays are verified or tested through test equipment. a all protection relays are also carried out maintenance activity. All connections are checked and clean properly. HT Protection Relay Testing


14 - LT Protection Relay Testing:

Now a days the digital protection relay mostly are using. If we want to check health performance then we will have to test of relay. First relay performance test is carried out after commissioning after that relay testing is carried out as base of annually time schedule.
Pre set value or protection relays are verified or tested through test equipment. a all protection relays are also carried out maintenance activity. All connections are checked and clean properly. LT Protection Relay Testing


15 - Transformer oil breakdown test:

Transformer BD test is carried out to the transformer oil which is used for moisture or dielectric strength checking in transformer oil. Due to moisture,losses of transformer is increased as per permissible limit. For better transformer operation, oil insulation capacity should be good. The moisture is very harmful for transformer oil die electric strength. Transformer Oil BDV Test

16 - Load Balancing test:

Load balancing is the important factor in electrical system. It means all three phases should be loaded as equal. Maximum unbalance load should not be more than 30% which can be tolerated by system. If the unbalance load is more than 30% then the system may be failure.
So for better health of equipment, the unbalance load is tested. It is tested through clamp meter or amp meter. Three-Phase Load Balance Test
