SECTION F.2.9
STANDARD TEST PROCEDURE FOR 5000 MV SINGLE ELEMENT
METER VERIFICATION TESTING
1. Hookup Probes to Phase A (or B or C as appropriate) & Sensors to the Meter
1.1 Secondary Current: Depending upon the type of circuit you are testing, there will be
different hookup procedures. See Section F.3.1 for more detailed hookup procedures:
1.1.1 Forms 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, & 9 Circuits with a Test Switch: Duckbill / Copper side up
1.1.2 Form 2 & 12 Meters: Use 2 clamp-on CTs--5000-MV-SC2-2
1.1.3 Form 1 Meters: Use 1 clamp-on CT--5000-MV-SC2-2
1.2 Secondary Voltage: Alligator Clips /Red to phase A (or B or C), white to
neutral/low side, & black to phase C--connect to phase C on the lug above the switch
& leave it there for the entire test.
Exceptions: 1. Form 8-4 Wire Delta: Phase A--Red to phase A, Black to phase C,
& White to phase B. Phase B--Red to phase B, Black to phase C, & White to phase
A. Phase C--Red to phase C, Black to phase C, & White to phase neutral.
2. Form 4: Channel 1—Red to V1, Black not connected, White to V2. Channel 2—
Red to V2, Black not connected, White to V1.
3. Other Meter Types—See Section F.3.1 of this Guide for Forms 1, 2, & 12 Meters.
1.3 Automatic Sensors: Attach the automatic sensors to the meter.
1.4 Confirm Proper Voltage Wiring from the Test Switch to the Meter
(Skip this section if using Meter Base Adapters or testing Form 1, 2, or 12 meters.)
1.4.1 Short phase B & C CTs and confirm the meter is reporting phase A
1.4.2 Short phase A & C CTs and confirm the meter is reporting phase B
1.4.3 Short phase A & B CTs and confirm the meter is reporting phase C
1.4.4 Close all CT shorting switches
2. Turn the Bird Dog Plus On
3. Enter Meter/Circuit/Rotation
3.1 If listed data is the same as your circuit: press YES and go to 4.1
3.2 If listed data is different than your circuit: press NO, select correct data and go to 4.1
3.3 If your circuit is not known or irrelevant: press UNDEFINED and go to 4.1
4. Enter LOCATION CODE
4.1 From LOCATION CODE screen press CHANGE button. Arrow points to first digit
4.2 Press the CLEAR button
4.3 Cycle the far left button 0-9, A-Z+ until the desired digit appears
4.4 Press the MORE button
4.5 Press NXT DIGIT. Arrow advances to next digit. Takes you back to previous screen
4.6 Repeat steps 4.3 through 4.6 until new location code entered
4.7 When the new location code is entered, press the MORE button twice
4.8 Press the SAVE to store new LOCATION CODE and go to the MAIN MENU
5. Review the WIRE VERIFY GRAPH for Input Signals
5.1 From the MAIN MENU select METER VERIFY TESTS
5.2 Select WV GRAPH
5.3 Select PHASE A (or B or C)--Disregard PLS OR REV information on this screen
5.4 Review the readings as follow:
Secondary Voltage—OK? (Correct value, steady)
Secondary Current—OK? (>0.5 Amps, steady, balanced)
True PF—OK? (>0.7, steady)
Phase Angles—OK? (steady, adjust for inherent phase
shift)
THD Voltage--OK (<5.0%, steady)
THD Current--OK (<20.0%, steady)
