1 TESTING HV GLOVES
Does anybody test their own HV gloves by water immersion ? I worked for a contractor that did and I am telling the plant where I work now that all we need is a test tank but it is falling on deaf ears. We have a 80KV hipot. The 6 month testing schedule is a real hassel time they are rounded up packaged and shiped out of town. I forgot all the paper that has to be shuffeled.
2 480 VOLT MOTOR CONNECTIONS
How do you tape a 480 volt motor? When I tape a motor I use backward 88 or 33 on the lugs then 130C then 88 or 33 sticky side in .That was the way I was taught. Most of the other electricians only use just 88 or 33 no rubber.
3 REMOVEING OLD TAPE
What is the best to remove old tape ? Our plant was built in the 40s and we have some old terminations that are made rubber tape ductseal and 88 or 33 and sometimes friction tape. We cut pry chisel but it seems to take forever. I thought about useing a CO2 fire extingusher and freezing then cracking them but I have not ever tried it.
