PERFORMANCE
TESTS
4-1.
INTRODUCTION
4-2.
The
procedures in this section test
the
electri-
cal performance
of
the
Power
Meter using
the
specifications
of
Table 1-1
as
performance
stand-
ards. All tests can be performed without access
to
the
interior
of
the
instrument. A simpler
opera-
tional
test
is
included in Section
III
under
Opera-
tor's
Checks.
4-3.
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
4-4.
Equipment
required for
the
performance tests
is listed in Table 1-2, Recommended Test
Equip-
ment.
Any
equipment
that
satisfies
the
critical
specifications given in
the
table may be substituted
for
the
recommended model(s).
4-5.
TEST RECORD
4-6. Results
of
the
performance tests may be
tabulated
on
the
Test Record
at
the
end
of
the
test
procedures. The Test Record lists
all
of
the tested
specifications and their acceptable limits. Test
results recorded
at
incoming inspection can be used
for comparison in periodic maintenance,
trouble-
shooting,
and
after repairs or adjustments.
4-7. PERFORMANCE TESTS
4-8. The performance tests given in this section are
suitable for incoming inspection, troubleshooting,
or
preventive maintenance. During any
per-
formance test,
all
shields and connecting hardware
must
be in place. The tests are designed
to
verify
published instrument specifications. Perform
the
tests in the order given and record the
data
on
the
test card and/or in
the
data spaces provided
at
the
end
of
each procedure.
NOTE
The
Power
Meter
must
have a half-hour
warmup and the line voltage
must
be
within
+5%,
-10%
of
nominal
if
the
performance tests
are
to be considered
valid.
4-9. Each test
is
arranged so
that
the
specification
is written as
it
appears in Table 1-1. Next, a
description
of
the
test
and any special instructions
or
problem areas are included. Each test
that
requires test equipment has a setup drawing and a
list
of
the
required equipment. The initial steps
of
each procedure give control settings required for
that
particular test.
