CHANGE REQUEST

Request identity number:

C00135

Applies to:

S00044

Type of request:

Technical modification

Request status level:

Resolved

Proposal:

An alternative name "Test terminal, twin stud type” should be added to S00044: Connecting link, closed, in order to clarify a use of the symbol.

The proposed changes are shown in the attachment CR_on_C00044.pdf below.
---------------------------------------------------
(The original proposal from 2005-07-05 was put on hold for further clarifications. Original proposal:
Add "Testing terminal for voltage circuit (voltage transformer secondary circuit)" to "Alternative names" of S00044, because generally it is using to "Testing terminal for current circuit (current transformer secondary circuit)".)
--------------------------------------------------

Reason:

S00044 is generally used as the symbol for a pair of terminals with a short-circuit bar in the electric power industry, which is called “test terminal.”

“Test terminal” is a stud type terminal on a front panel of the distribution and/or the control panel of a power plant and so on. It is inserted to the secondary circuit of an instrument transformer. When relays and meters connected to the secondary circuit of the instrument transformer is going to be calibrated and tested, they are separated from the secondary circuit by removing the short-circuit bar.

Further explanation of the use is included in How_to_use_test_terminal.pdf and Catalog_of_test_terminal.pdf below.
---------------------------------------------------
Original text from 2005-07-05:
It is useful to prepare two kinds, one for the current and the other for the voltage of the instrument transformer.

It has already been in use in Japan, and a problem does not take place.
