Looking for TEST BLOCK
(OP)
Looking for a "TEST BLOCK".
Tried to GOOGLE GE Global Model NO. 1721-484 and can't seem to locate. Block has a combination of 3 single pole and 3 double pole switches. Device is used for isolation of Main Generator current (CT's)inputs to NEXIS System for trip logic. The Test Block has been used in two of our other Generator circuits. It is approximatly 8in. long, 3in. wide with what I would call a phenolic (plastic) or Term Block (Black) composit. I tried to drop in a diagram of the Test BLOCK but didn't seem to paste. Doing something wrong.
Thanks for your help.

I was in the Turbine Supervisory Panel looking at the existing "TEST Block" this morning and saw "States MultiAmp" (now Megger) on the cover. I'm very familure with MultiAmp but first time for "STATES". Thanks for your help. I think our Procurement Engineering might have the Model no. and Mfg. wrong on this one. You saved me some time.
Thanks again,

There's a FAQ written by CBL which gives the procedure: FAQ559-1100
If you're talking about the little animation in my sig line, that uses the [img abc...xyz] syntax as shown in the FAQ. If you post something in the sig line, spare a thought for dialup users. Mine is just 9.7k.

Your responses as always were/are greatly appreciated and always full of valuable info. I would have liked to have seen an Eng. Tips Forum 40 years ago.

RE: Looking for TEST BLOCK
the standard configurration for "FT" type switch is 10 poles. The standard for wiring is Left to Right
Va,Vb,Vc,Ia,Ia+,Ib,Ib+,Ic,Ic+,Vn. The standard also should have all of the top poles feeding the relay/meter and all of the bottom poles going to the system (CT/VT). The neutrals on the bottom of FT should be commoned.
Many people have forgotton how to wire these devices, which causes headaches in the future.
