1 Safety Advice

1.1 General Notes

Safety precautions This manual contains basic advice for the installation and operation of the Easytest. It

is essential to make this manual accessible to the authorised and skilled operator. He

needs to read this manual closely. The manufacturer is not liable for damage to

material or humans due to non-observance of the instructions and safety advices

provided by this manual.

Locally applying regulations have to be observed!

Symbols used in this

manual

Important instructions concerning the protection of staff and equipment as well as

technical safety within this document are labelled with one of the following symbols:

Symbol Description

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

could result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may

result in minor or moderate injury or material damage.

Notes have important information and useful tips on the operation of

your equipment. Non-observance may result in useless measure-

ment results.

Working with equipment

of Megger

All electrical regulations of the country where the system is operated have to be

observed as well as national regulations for prevention of accidents and existing

regulations for the safety and operation of equipment of the involved companies.

After working with the equipment, make sure to de-energise, protect against re-

energising, discharge, ground and short-circuit the instrument and installations that

have been worked on.

Original accessories ensure safe operation of the equipment. It is not allowed and the

warranty is lost if other accessories than the original ones are used with the

equipment.

Operating personal Only trained and/or instructed staff is permitted to deal with this syste

m and its

peripherals. Keep any other person away from it.

Only authorised persons with sufficient expertise are allowed to operate the device.

Repair and maintenance Repairs and service must only be done by Megger or authorised service departments

of Megger. Megger recommends having the equipment serviced and checked once

per year at a Megger service location.

Megger also offers direct on-site support. Please contact our service office for more

information.

WARNING

CAUTION

1-7

1.2 General Cautions and Warnings

Intended application Safe operation is only realised when using the equipment for its intended purpose

(see chapter 2.3 Functional Description). Using the equipment for other purposes may

lead to human danger and damage of equipment of involved installations.

The limits described under technical data may not be exceeded. Operating products

of Megger in condensing environment may lead to flash-over, danger and damage.

The instruments should only be operated under tempered conditions. It is not allowed

to operate Megger products at direct contact with humidity, water or near aggressive

chemicals nor explosive gases and fumes.

Behaviour at malfunction

of normal operation

The equipment may only be used when working properly. When irregularities or

malfunctions appear that cannot be solved consulting this manual, the equipment

must immediately be put out of operation and marked as not functional. In this case

inform the person in charge who should inform the Megger service to resolve the

problem. The instrument may only be operated when the malfunction is resolved.

Fife safety rules

The five safety rules must always be followed when working with HV (High Voltage):

1. De-energise

2. Protect against re-energising

3. Confirm absence of voltage

4. Ground and short-circuit

5. Cover up or bar-off neighbouring energised parts

Using cardiac pacemaker

Physical processes during operation of high voltage may endanger persons wearing a

cardiac pacemaker when near these high voltage facilities.

Fire fighting in electrical installations

•Recommended extinguishing agent: carbon dioxide (CO2)

•Carbon dioxide is electrically non conductive and does not leave residue. It is safe

to use in energized facilities as long as the minimum distances are observed.

•It is essential to observe the safety instruction on the extinguishing agent.

•Applicable is DIN VDE 0132.

1-8

Be careful when working with high voltage

Working on high voltage systems and equipment – especially in non-stationary

operation – requires particular care and safety-

conscious action on the part of test

personnel. VDE regulations 0104 on setting up and operating electrical test systems,

as well as EN 50191 and national standards and regulations must be strictly adhered

to.

•The Easytest generates a dangerous voltage of up to 20 kV during testing. This

is supplied via a HV cable to the test object.

•The test system may not be operated without supervision.

•When the test system in use, a second person must always be within sight and

calling distance, in order to use the emergency off switch in the event of danger.

•Never fail to use safety equipment or put it out of operation.

•To prevent dangerous charge accumulation, earth all metal parts in the vicinity of

the high voltage equipment.

•All ca

bles which are out of operation and not tested must be shorted and

earthed.

•The system and all auxiliary equipment must be connected in accordance with

the regulations. The applicable EN, DIN, VDE and national standards and regu-

lations must be strictly adhered to.

•Check whether there are any unsecured live systems or components in the im-

mediate vicinity of the test system which might you or the system might

accidentally come into contact with. This particularly applies to components

which carry high voltage or where the voltage is unknown.

Secure these components using insulating covers. If technical reasons make it

impossible to do this, switch them off or have this action carried out at the site for

the duration of your work after consulting whoever is responsible. Make sure this

is done properly.
