Primary injection testing as opposed to secondary injection testing is the only way to demonstrate proper installation and operation of the entire protection chain. Solid-state trip devices can be field-tested and calibrated using either the primary current injection method or the secondary current injection method.
In big industrial installations or electrical substations, current injection testing is typically related to high current and high voltage power distribution systems. A predetermined current can be used to test the circuit breaker to see if the relay trips at that current and, if so, how long the current must flow before the trip occurs. Primary current injection testing is a crucial tool for locating problems.
A system that integrates the circuit breaker’s current sensors, wiring, and conduction path with the test is known as a primary injection test. The preferred test approach is typically the principal current injection technique. High voltage and current substations and circuits benefit from a primary injection test.
It just involves the rated current flowing through the circuit being tested. High voltage or high current circuits are tested using a primary current injection method.
The Global Automatic Primary Current Injection Test Machine market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
A heavy electrical system is tested using primary current injection in order to see how it responds to different current loads. It is simple to determine whether or not the breaker will trip or fail, as well as how long the current will remain alive before the circuit breaks, by injecting the current into the electrical system.
Primary injection testing is used in high current or high voltage conditions at big electrical facilities like power substations. Depending on the system and the needs, a substantial current, ranging from 100 A to 20 000 A, is injected directly on the primary side of an electrical system (like a circuit breaker).
The purpose of the testing is to determine how an electrical system performs when subjected to varying current loads.
For power circuit breakers to operate reliably and safely, excellent maintenance is required. Maintenance plans must be customised for each application, well planned, and carried out in accordance with both manufacturer’s instructions and industry best practices.
The primary injection test is the final commissioning inspection to confirm that all the apparatus and safety measures are in good condition and functioning as intended. Stability Test Check, which can only be performed with Primary Injection Test, is used to verify the polarity of connected CTs.
Solid-state trip devices can be field-tested and calibrated using either the primary current injection method or the secondary current injection method. Due to the inclusion of the current sensors, wiring, and current conduction path in the circuit breaker with the test, the primary current injection method is typically the recommended test method.
