Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a comprehensive guide on the Test Block System, specifically designed for protection relay testing and maintenance. It highlights the application, features, operation, and technical specifications of the PP Test Block and SP Test Plug.
Application: Test links are crucial for protection, metering, and control panels, allowing technicians to isolate protection relays for testing without disturbing wiring or equipment settings. This reduces downtime and ensures safe testing conditions.
Features: The system includes color-coded 'finger safe' test sockets, 14 independent circuits for CT or VT connections, and options for automatic CT shorting. It is compact, economical, and supports high current/voltage ratings.
CT Shorting: The system offers both automatic and manual CT shorting options. Automatic shorting is achieved with internal links, while manual shorting requires external links to prevent open circuits and high voltage hazards.
Test Plug Insertion: The SP Test Plug isolates live circuits from equipment circuits, with color-coded sockets for easy identification. Proper insertion ensures safe testing by connecting live circuits to yellow sockets and equipment circuits to black sockets.
Operation: Transitioning from normal service to test condition involves three steps: auxiliary supply isolation, automatic CT shorting, and circuit isolation. The PP-B model includes an isolating plug for additional safety.
Technical Data: The system supports up to 14 independent circuits, with specific models offering isolating circuits. It has a current rating of 20A continuous and a voltage rating of 600V AC continuous. The insulation withstands up to 2KV RMS for 1 minute.
Ordering Information: The document provides a coding system for ordering the PP Test Block and SP Test Plug, specifying options for auxiliary supply isolation and CT shorting links.
Conclusion: The Test Block System is a versatile and essential tool for efficient and safe protection relay testing, offering customizable options to suit various testing needs.

TEST BLOCK SYSTEM - Flyer-1

TEST SYSTEM PP-SP TEST BLOCK SYSTEM THE FULL SOLUTION FOR PROTECTION RELAY TESTING AND MAINTENANCE — Application Test links are an important accessory for protection, metering & control panels. They enable test technicians to quickly & safely isolate protection relays so that test signals may be injected & system performance veried. There are a number of advantages in performing injection tests at the protection relay panel: • Reduction in down time of the equipment under test. • Testing does not cause disturbance to wiring, terminals or equipment settings. • Existing auxiliary supply to the equipment under test may be isolated. The PP Test Link Panel has been designed as a general-purpose isolation & test signal injection point. Standard 4mm diameter sockets are employed so that common banana plugs may be used to short CT inputs & connect test equipment. Equipment under test need only be removed for servicing if problems are detected. Features ♦ Colour coded ‘nger safe’ test sockets suit standard or shrouded type 4mm banana plugs ♦ 14 independent circuits suitable for CT or VT connections ♦ Test plug available with automatic CT shorting option ♦ Test plug tted with insertion handles & locking screws ♦ Side label instructions on changing from normal service condition to the test condition ♦ Optional automatic auxiliary isolation function ♦ High current / voltage rating ♦ Compact & economic design Figure 1: Test Plug Test Block System - Flyer- 03 - 2012

— Description — CT SHORTING – AUTOMATIC (Internal) The Test Block type PP comprises fourteen (14) test circuits, each of which is connected to a separate pair of terminals at the rear of the case. During the normal operation of the associated protection equipment, each pair of terminals are connected together by a circuit-shorting link. Changing the PP Test Block from the normal service condition to the test condition is described below & depicted in gure 3: Test Circuit Access Access to the circuits, for testing purposes, is gained by rst removing the front cover. For the PP-B model the Isolation...
