18、.6383 Email: netanetaworld.org Web: aworld.org Melissa Richard - Executive DirectorFOREWORD (This Foreword is not part of American National Standard ANSI/NETA ATS-2017) ANSI/NETA ATS-2017 The InterNational Electrical Testing Association (NETA) was formed in 1972 to establish uniform testing procedur

19、es for electrical equipment and apparatus. NETA developed specifications for the acceptance of new electrical apparatus prior to energization and for the maintenance of existing apparatus to determine its suitability to remain in service. The first NETA Acceptance Testing Specifications for Electric

20、al Power Equipment and Systems was produced in 1972. Upon completion of this project, the NETA Technical Committee began work on a maintenance document, and Maintenance Testing Specifications for Electrical Power Equipment and Systems was published in 1975. NETA has been an Accredited Standards Deve

21、loper for the American National Standards Institute since 1996. NETAs scope of standards activity is different from that of the IEEE, NECA, NEMA, and UL. In matters of testing electrical equipment and systems NETA continues to reference other standards developers documents where applicable. NETAs re

22、view and updating of presently published standards takes into account both national and international standards. NETAs standards may be used internationally as well as in the United States. NETA firmly endorses a global standardization. IEC standards as well as American consensus standards are taken

23、 into consideration by NETAs Section Panels and reviewing committees. The NETA Acceptance Testing Specifications was developed for use by those responsible for assessing the suitability for initial energization of electrical power equipment and systems and to specify field tests and inspections that

24、 ensure these systems and apparatus perform satisfactorily, minimizing downtime and maximizing life expectancy. Since 1972, several revisions of the Acceptance Testing Specifications have been published; in 1989 the NETA Technical Committee, with approval of the Board of Directors, set a four-year r

25、eview and revision schedule. Unless it involves a significant safety or urgent technical issue, each comment and suggestion for change is held until the appropriate review period. Each edition includes new and completely revised sections. The document uses the standard numbering system of ANSI and I

26、EEE. Since 1989, revised editions of the Acceptance Testing Specifications have been published in 1991, 1995, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2009, and 2013. On February 2, 2017, the American National Standards Institute approved the NETA Acceptance Testing Specifications for Electrical Power Equipment and System

27、s as an American National Standard. Suggestions for improvement of this standard are welcome. They should be sent to the InterNational Electrical Testing Association, 3050 Old Centre Avenue, Suite 102, Portage, MI 49024, or emailed to netanetaworld.org. PREFACE (This Preface is not part of American

28、National Standard ANSI/NETA ATS-2017) ANSI/NETA ATS-2017 It is recognized by the Association that the needs for acceptance testing of commercial, industrial, governmental, and other electrical power systems vary widely. Many criteria are used in determining what equipment is to be tested and to what

29、 extent. To help the user better understand and navigate more efficiently through this document, we offer the following information: Notation of Changes Material included in this edition of the document but not part of the 2013 edition is marked with a black vertical line to the left of the insertio

30、n of text, deletion of text, or alteration of text. The Document Structure The document is divided into thirteen separate and defined sections: Section Description Section 1 General Scope Section 2 Applicable References Section 3 Qualifications of Testing Organization and Personnel Section 4 Divisio

31、n of Responsibility Section 5 General Section 6 Power System Studies Section 7 Inspection and Test Procedures Section 8 System Function Tests and Commissioning Section 9 Thermographic Survey Section 10 Electromagnetic Field Testing Section 11 Corona Studies (Reserved) Tables Reference Tables Appendi

32、ces Various Informational Documents Section 7 Structure Section 7 is the main body of the document with specific information on what to do relative to the inspection and acceptance testing of electrical power distribution equipment and systems. It is not intended that this document list how to test

33、specific pieces of equipment or systems. Sequence of Tests and Inspections The tests and inspections specified in this document are not necessarily presented in chronological order and may be performed in a different sequence. Expected Test Results Section 7 consists of sections specific to each par

34、ticular type of equipment. Within those sections there are, typically, four main bodies of information: A. Visual and Mechanical Inspection B. Electrical Tests C. Test Values Visual and Mechanical D. Test Values Electrical PREFACE (Continued) (This Preface is not part of American National Standard A

35、NSI/NETA ATS-2017) ANSI/NETA ATS-2017 Results of Visual and Mechanical Inspections Some, but not all, visual and mechanical inspections have an associated test value or result. Those items with an expected result are referenced under Section C., Test Values Visual and Mechanical. For example, Sectio

36、n 7.1 Switchgear and Switchboard Assemblies, item 7.1.A.8.2 calls for verifying tightness of connections using a calibrated torque wrench method. Under the Test Values Visual and Mechanical Section 7.1.C.2, the expected results for that particular task are listed within Section C., with reference ba

37、ck to the original task description on item 7.1.A.8.2. PREFACE (Continued) (This Preface is not part of American National Standard ANSI/NETA ATS-2017) ANSI/NETA ATS-2017 Results of Electrical Tests Each electrical test has a corresponding expected result, and the test and the result have identical n

38、umbers. If the electrical test is item four, the expected result under the Test Values section is also item four. For example, under Section 7.15.1 Rotating Machinery, AC Induction Motors and Generators, item 7.15.1.B.2 (item 2 within the Electrical Tests section) calls for performing an insulation-

39、resistance test in accordance with IEEE Standard 43. In section D, Test Values Electrical, the expected results for that particular task are listed in the Test Values section under item 2. PREFACE (Continued) (This Preface is not part of American National Standard ANSI/NETA ATS-2017) ANSI/NETA ATS-2

40、017 Optional Tests The purpose of these specifications is to assure that all tested electrical equipment and systems supplied by either contractor or owner are operational and within applicable standards and manufacturers published tolerances and that equipment and systems are installed in accordanc

41、e with design specifications. Certain tests are assigned an optional classification. The following considerations are used in determining the use of the optional classification: 1. Does another listed test provide similar information? 2. How does the cost of the test compare to the cost of other tes

42、ts providing similar information? 3. How commonplace is the test procedure? Is it new technology? Manufacturers Instruction Manuals It is important to follow the recommendations contained in the manufacturers published data. Many of the details of a complete and effective testing procedure can be ob

43、tained from this source. Summary The guidance of an experienced testing professional should be sought when making decisions concerning the extent of testing. It is necessary to make an informed judgment for each particular system regarding how extensive a procedure is justified. The approach taken i

44、n these specifications is to present a comprehensive series of tests applicable to most industrial and larger commercial systems. In smaller systems, some of the tests can be deleted. In other cases, a number of the tests indicated as optional should be performed. Likewise, guidance of an experience

45、d testing professional should also be sought when making decisions concerning the results of test data and their significance to the overall analysis of the device or system under test. Careful consideration of all aspects of test and calibration data, including manufacturers published data and reco

46、mmendations, must be included in the overall assessment of the device or system under test. The Association encourages comment from users of this document.
