I Preamble :
Specialized, trained, and experienced personnel carry out the verifications and tests on site.
The delivered material may be installed without our supervision.
Tests are carried out with adapted and calibrated metering instruments.
The documents are project-specific and shall be completed and distributed on site.
Tests are applied in compliance with IEC standards (unless otherwise specified by the
customer).

II Verification after installation

-

Collection of problems occurred during mechanical erection.

Visual inspection of alignment, finish, cleanliness, =S= image.

Check of conformity with the layout drawing, position of the switchgear.

Check of fastenings, bus-bar connections, earthing circuit.

Labelling, marking.

Cable routing, trenches, areas in front of the switchgear for the personnel passage and
stops.

Check that PTs, CTs, relays comply with the required function (motor feeder, incoming,
transformer).

Check that IP is preserved after installation

III Functional test of switchgear

-

Manual operations on the switchgear control mechanisms : circuit breakers, isolators,

contactors, switches, PT.s, doors, interlockings, padlocking.

Operating via the LV electrical drive of the switchgear.

Verification of switchgear extraction, withdrawal.

IV Test of LV electrical operating
-

Checks that the LV main functions comply with diagram and specification.

Verification and measurement of the values on CTs, PTs and other sensors.

Verification electrical interlocking for all the functions.

V - Test of protection/communication relays

For each function the relay (SEPAM ) is :
. set according to the technical documentation of the project (settings / selectivity),
. checked on its protection operating, curve, display,
As an exception, program modification may be carried out on site.

For projects with a communication system:

. Check that data exchange between relays, channel -bus and communication is
actually operative.

VI MV dielectric test
The dielectric test on site is applied on the conductive components and isolated from the ground
to verify insulation withstand level.
80 % of the workshop test voltage at industrial frequency is applied for 1 minute.

VII Documentation and certificate

Each project has its own technical and specific documents.
On site, the specialist shall use and accurately update the prepared test file.
He shall submit the final testcertificate to the customer for acceptance.
The contractual documents shall be remitted to the customer.
