PACKAGED UNIT ELECTRICAL TESTS
Tests will generally be conducted in accordance with the requirements of the National
Electrical Testing Association's Acceptance Testing Specifications for Electrical Power
Distribution Equipment & Systems.
The Vendor shall perform the electrical tests to assure correct operation. All testing shall be
performed in complete accord with applicable standards, specific requisition requirements
and to the item Vendor's instructions or recommendations. Company and/or its
representative reserves the right to witness all packaged unit testing and requires the
‘Vendor to notify the Company in writing ten (10) days prior to testing.
Insulation resistance and continuity tests shall be performed on all feeders, motor leads and
control wiring. A test shall be performed between conductors and ground. Perform electrical
insulation tests prior to connection of power. Insulation resistance tests shall be made using
a megger of 1000 VDC maximum. Insulation resistance readings shall be recorded after
applying the test Voltage for a period of 60 seconds. The minimum acceptable reading will
be 10 megohms. Shielded analog-signal cable shall not be tested.
Energise all equipment, run motors with couplings disconnected, verify direction of rotation,
and perform operational tests by causing relays, solenoids, and other devices, to function by
simulation of control action to test the integrity of the control circuits.
The testing to be performed shall consist of, but not be limited to, the following:
a) All circuits and equipment shall be tested for grounds, short circuits and proper
functioning,
b) Interlocking, control and instrumentation wiring for each item or system shall be tested
to ascertain that the system functions as indicated on the wiring or schematic
diagrams, description of operation, etc. Where necessary, manual operation of control
devices, such as limit switches, shall be used to simulate actual operating conditions in
the checking of the system
For Vendor furnished motor starters, the current rating of all equipment including control
fuses, circuit breakers, and thermal overload elements for motors shall be checked, adjusted
and corrected, if necessary.
Motors shall be tested for proper running and any misalignment shall be corrected.‘SPECIFICATION SPEC. GS-12
