Building Site Transformer Substations
The accidental arcing test
Every test procedure requires
a new 20 kV - SF6 system.
Comes factory-fit with short circuit
to induce internal arc.
Testing of prefabricated
building-site transformer
substations by IPH Berlin.
The indicators are installed.
The test is carried out
once with doors closed
and again with the
medium-voltage door open
Medium-voltage compartment
