Run Recloser Calibration and Time-Current Test (IEEE C37.60) — Free

Inspection Details and Test Setup

Asset identification recorded

Record the recloser or fault interrupter make, model, serial number, voltage class, and control type.

Test date and location recorded

Document when and where the calibration and time-current test was performed.

Note (optional)

Test procedure and reference standard identified

Record the applicable test procedure, work instruction, and reference to IEEE C37.60.

Test equipment calibrated and in date critical (required)

Verify that all test sets, timers, current sources, and meters used for the test have current calibration status.

Yes No N/A

Safety Preconditions and Work Readiness

Lockout-tagout applied where required critical (required)

Confirm energy isolation, lockout-tagout, and verification of zero energy state before testing.

Yes No N/A

PPE appropriate for electrical testing in use critical (required)

Verify arc-rated PPE, insulating gloves, eye/face protection, and other required PPE are being used based on the hazard assessment.

Yes No N/A

Work area controlled and barricaded critical (required)

Confirm the test area is restricted to authorized personnel and hazards are barricaded or otherwise controlled.

Yes No N/A

Nameplate and control wiring accessible for inspection

Verify the device can be safely accessed for inspection of settings, wiring, and mechanical condition.

Yes No N/A

Visual Condition and Configuration Verification

No visible damage, contamination, or overheating critical (required)

Inspect the recloser, interrupter, bushings, enclosure, and control for cracks, corrosion, contamination, loose hardware, or heat damage.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Trip settings match approved configuration critical (required)

Verify pickup, time dial, curve, sequence, and other programmed settings match the approved test or design record.

Yes No N/A

Control wiring and connections secure

Check that control wiring, terminals, and connectors are secure and correctly landed with no loose or damaged conductors.

Yes No N/A

Mechanical operation and reset condition acceptable

Confirm the mechanism operates and resets normally before electrical timing tests are performed.

Yes No N/A

Minimum Trip and Pickup Verification

Minimum trip current test performed at required level critical (required)

Record the current used for the minimum trip verification. IEEE C37.60 testing commonly verifies tripping at 80% of the minimum current setting where applicable.

Note (optional)

Minimum trip result critical (required)

Record whether the device tripped within the expected response for the minimum trip verification.

Measured pickup current

Record the measured pickup current observed during testing.

Note (optional)

Pickup deviation within tolerance critical (required)

Confirm the measured pickup current is within the approved tolerance band for the device and test procedure.

Yes No N/A

Time-Current and Sequence Performance

Time-current curve verified against expected characteristic critical (required)

Confirm measured operating times align with the approved time-current characteristic for the tested current points.

Yes No N/A

Trip sequence verified critical (required)

Verify the programmed trip sequence, including any fast/slow operations, reclose intervals, and lockout behavior, matches the approved settings.

Yes No N/A

Measured operating time at test point 1

Record the measured operating time for the first current test point.

Note (optional)

Measured operating time at test point 2

Record the measured operating time for the second current test point.

Note (optional)

Results, Deficiencies, and Sign-Off

Deficiencies or non-conformances documented

Select all observed deficiencies, non-conformances, or abnormal test results.

Note (optional)

Corrective action and disposition recorded

Document rework, retest, hold, release, or other disposition for any failed or out-of-tolerance condition.

Inspector signature critical (required)

Inspector or qualified tester signs to confirm the record is complete and accurate.
