9. Sequence of Testing and Start Up


9.1 Electrical Sequence of operation

9.1.1 Check the installation with Electrical Supply isolated:


Prior to the initial running of any electrically driven pump, valve or other Mechanical
equipment the following procedures should be adopted.
Check:
(a) The local isolation of motor and control circuits.
(b) That there are no enshrouded live components within the panels.
(c) That the panels, switchgears and VFD are clean.
(d) That the motor and surrounding areas are clean and dry.
(e) That the transit packing has been removed from contactors and other equipment.
(f) That there is no mechanical damage to switchgears and those thermostats are of a
suitable range to operate at ambient temperature.
(g) That all mechanical checks on the pump and motor or valve are completed.
(h) That all connections are tight on bus bars and wirings.
(i) That the internal links on the starter are correct.
(j) That all power and control wirings have been completed in detail to the circuit
diagram, paying special attention to circuit for start-delta connected or specially
wound motors.
(k) That the fuse ratings are correct.
(l) That the starter overloads are set correctly in relation to the motor name-plate full
load current.
(m) That the dashpots are charged with the correct fluid and the time adjustments and
levels are identical.
(n) That insulation tests on the motor have been performed satisfactorily.
(o) That the adjustable thermal cut-outs are set correctly
(p) That all cover plates are fitted.

9.1.2 Check the installation with the Electrical supply available:


Check:
(a) Check that the declared voltage range is available on all supply phases.
(b) Where motor powers are substantial or reduced voltage starting or complex
interlocks are involved, the control circuit logic and the starter operation should be
tested before the motor is rotated. The supply should first be isolated by the
withdrawal of the power fuses not associated with the control circuit or the
disconnection of cables.
The ―red‖ phase shall be used for control circuit normally. The control circuit fuse
must be checked to ensure that it is rated to give the correct discriminatory
protection to the control circuit cables.
The control circuit should be activated and the starter operation observed. Adjust
the timers. Check for positive operation of all contactors, relays and interlocks.
Finally, open the isolators, reinstate the power connections and close the isolators.
(c) Where small motors have direct-on-line starting and simple control circuits, the
starter operation, etc., should be checked when first starting the motor.
(d) Never energize electronic valve motors until the required mechanical checks have
been completed.

9.1.3 Release for Mechanical team to test and commission for the Mechanical
works:

(a) A light load should be sustained until the commissioning engineer is satisfied from
the checks and from motor insulation test readings that further load may be
applied. Repetitive starting of the motor should be avoided to prevent over-
stressing of the fuses, switchgear and motor.
(b) Gradually open the discharge valve from closed position until the motor current
reaches either the design value or the motor full load current, whichever is the
lower.
(c) Check the pump pressure developed by means of the pump altitude gauges
against the design pressure. If excessive pressure is developed at this stage, the
cause should be investigated and rectified.

(d) Adjust the discharge valve so that the flow as determined roughly from the pump
characteristic is between 100 and 110 per cent of the design value.
Note that:
 The motor full load current is not exceeded.
 The pump should be run in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations and should be under fairly continuous observation. It should
not be left running outside normal working hours unless attended;
 Check that the bearings and motor temperature remain steady, that no noise or
vibration develops and that no bolts or fixing works is loose.

7.5 Shaft seal run-in to deposits (calcareous deposits, etc.).
Automatic pump change is recommended.
The seal faces are lubricated by the pumped liquid,
meaning that there may be a certain amount of
leakage from the shaft seal.
When the pump is started up for the first time, or
when a new shaft seal is installed, a certain run-in
period is required before the leakage is reduced to
an acceptable level. The time required for this
depends on the operating conditions, i.e. every time
the operating conditions change, a new run-in period
will be started.
Under normal conditions, the leaking liquid will
evaporate. As a result, no leakage will be detected.
However, liquids such as kerosene will not
evaporate. The leakage may therefore be seen as a
shaft seal failure.

This Method Statement establishes the minimum requirements for lockout of energy sources that could
cause injury to personnel. All employees shall comply with the procedure.

3. Responsibility
The responsibility for seeing that this procedure is followed is binding upon all employees. All
employees shall be instructed in the safety significance of the lockout procedure by HSE Manager (or on
behalf of him). Each new or transferred affected employee shall be instructed by HSE Manager in the
purpose and use of the lockout procedure. Also the T&C Manager, Electrical and Mechanical
Construction Managers are responsible to coordinate with the HSE Manager to determine the persons
which will be involved to implement the LOTO procedures and to ensure compliance.

6. Training
All employees involved with Lock-out/Tag-out must be trained. The standard sets out three training
aspects of a Lock-out/Tag-out program:
6.1. Training authorized employees to recognize applicable hazardous energy sources. An authorized
employee is a person who locks out or tags out machines or equipment in order to perform servicing
or testing on that machine or equipment.
6.2. Training affected employees about the purpose and use of the energy-control procedure. An
affected employee is a person whose job requires him or her to operate or use a machine or piece of
equipment on which service or testing is being performed under Lock-out/Tag-out or whose job
requires him or her to be in an area where the service or testing is being performed.

3
6.3. Training of employees whose work operations are or may be in the area where energy control
operations are taking place must include the procedure and prohibition on attempting to restart or
re-energize equipment or machines that are locked or tagged out.
Employee retraining is required for authorized and affected employees when there is a change in
their job assignments, machines, equipment or processes that present new hazards or when there
are new energy-control procedures.
