This document describes a panel mount test block and test plugs that allow for the safe testing of protection relays and meters without interrupting power circuits. Some key features include the ability to isolate devices from current and potential transformers, inject current and voltage into circuits for testing, and automatically short current transformer secondaries when plugged in. The test block provides 14 independent testing circuits and mounts on switchboard panels for easy front access.

The connections to other equipment such as CTs, VTs, and DC supplies should be made to the odd-numbered terminals. This will ensure that on inserting the Test Plug, the sockets on the White side of the Test Plug are connected to the isolated relay circuits and the sockets on the Red side are connected to the potentially live supplies
It is important that the sockets on the Test Plug which correspond to the current transformer secondary windings are linked prior to the Test Plug being inserted into the Test Block. This will ensure that the current transformer secondary windings are short circuited prior to disconnection from the protection scheme or relay. If a few Test Blocks are connected to a relay at the same time, it is recommended that the DC auxiliary supply be routed through each of them to prevent inadvertent operation To avoid high voltage shock hazard, external CT terminals must NOT be open circuited. Shorting links MUST be in place BEFORE Test Plug insertion. USERS must ensure that external shorting links are installed for CT secondary windings prior to inserting the Test Plug into the Test Block. USERS must ensure that external shorting links are NOT installed on POTENTIAL circuits. USERS must ensure that when using test plugs with internally shorted terminals (TP2, TP3, &TP4), the CTs are wired to the corresponding test block terminals. 27 25 23 21 1 17 15 13 11 9 7 5 3 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 19 20 22 24 26 28 27 19 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 1 21 23 25 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 2 PMTB 14 Test Block C U R R E N T I N P U T S C O N T A C T O U T P U T S V O L T A G E I N P U T S C A B VA VA VB VB VC VC IA IA IB IC IC IG IG IB Order shorting link kit part number PMTB 14-SLK PMTB 14-TP1 Test Plug Rear View Protection/Measuring/ Controller Devices Front View Outline Drawings for PMTB14 Test Block and Test plug (mm.) r o f t u o t u c l e n a P ) d e v o m e r r e v o c t s u d ( k c o l B g u l P PMTB14 Test Block 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 8 6 4 2 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 7 5 3 1 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 8 6 4 2 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 7 5 3 1 1 2 .5 1 2 .5 1 0 M 4 1 0 2 1 0 1 9 8 2 1 0 1 9 8 1 9 8 1 7 8 .5 56 36.2 8 30.1 56 35 35 50.9 96 51 8 4 x 4 .2 b l o t c u t o u t cutout TYPE PMTB 14 TEST BLOCK & PLUGS 3 www.GEDigitalEnergy.com 27 19 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 1 21 23 25 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 2 Caution: The PMTB 14 test block must be Wired correctly to accept this PMTB 14-TP3 test plug PMTB 14-TP3 Test Plug Internally shorted Technical Specifications Typical Wiring Voltage: Rated 400V Impulse Withstand 4kV Ordering Part Number Description PMTB 14 14 circuit panel mount test block with clear cover PMTB 14-TP1 14 circuit test plug with no internal shorting links PMTB 14-TP2 14 circuit test plug with internal shorting links at contact pairs 1-3, 5-7, 9-11, & 15-17 PMTB 14-TP3 14 circuit test plug with internal shorting links between terminals 21-23-25-27 PMTB 14-TP4 14 circuit test plug with internal shorting links between terminals 9-11-13-15 and 21-23-25-27 PMTB 14-SLK Shorting link kit (4-50mm & 4-150mm plug links) Maximum Working Voltage: IEC 60255-5 400V AC or DC continuous rating Insulation Withstand: IEC 60255-5 Environmental: IEC 60255-6 IEC 60068-2-1/2/3 Enclosure Protection: IEC 60529 Mechanical: IEC 60255-21-1 Class II 2kV RMS for 1 minute between any contact pair and either adjacent contact pair. 2kV RMS for 1 minute between incoming and outgoing contacts when plugged into the Test Block. 5kV RMS for 1 minute between any alternate contact pair, provided that the intermediate pair is not used.
