Development of a standard design for a test installation of dielectric personal protective equipment based on a high voltage source AII-70

TARGET. The purpose of this work is to develop a standard design of an installation for testing personal protective equipment. According to the standard design, the installation should be more functional and cheaper than existing analogues, while its design should fully comply with the requirements of regulatory and technical documentation (Rules for the installation of electrical installations, Rules of labor protection when working in electrical installations). METHODS. According to the developed standard design, it implies the use of АИИ-70 test devices, which have been put into storage as a result of equipping electrical laboratories with more mobile modern analogues. The secondary use of test devices freed from the operational load makes it possible to eliminate the cost of purchasing a high-voltage source included in its design, thereby reducing the total cost of the project. The project provides that the products from which the installation is assembled include products from the retail range of electrical products. RESULTS. The installation, assembled according to the developed project, provides the opportunity to conduct the largest number of types of tests among analogues. The cost of installation assembled according to the developed project is several times lower than analogues. Full compliance of the installation with the requirements of regulatory and technical documentation ensures the safety of high-voltage tests and allows it to be registered with supervisory authorities. CONCLUSION. A stationary installation for testing personal protective equipment has been assembled at the Kazan State Energy University. Testing it during tests of dielectric gloves and a high voltage indicator proves the operability of the installation assembled according to the developed project.
