32 | P a g e
L. Safety Aspects in Installation of Panels
Maximum No of serious accidents in Electrical Installation works occur due to electrocution or due to
toppling of panels. In most of the cases, width of the panels will be very small (0.3 to 1 M) and height will
be 2 to 3 Meters. Hence center of gravity will be high and even if they are slightly tilted they will topple.
Hence great care should be taken while handling the panels.
a.) Receipt & Unloading
1.Proper unloading arrangements are to be planned before receipt of panels. A few of them are listed
below:
2. A mobile crane or overhead crane of suitable capacity.

3. Gantry with pulley block of suitable capacity.
4. 3 pole derrick of suitable length and capacity.
5. Roof beams can be used in consultation with Architect.
6. Check the capacity & condition of slings before use.
7. If no other method is possible an inverted ramp is to be dug out near the place of installation.
Note: Using channels in a maimed plane for unloading panels is risky. Miter unloading, the following
precautions are to be observed; while loading the panels to its location.
1. Two channels or plates to be used below roller pipes. Channels should be as far apart as possible to
give wider base.
2. If the casing has any projections in the base suitable planks are to be provided to facilitate movement.
3. Pipe rollers should be of same diameter.
4. Pipe rollers should be of suitable length. If they are too long it will be difficult to handle. If they are
short, they may lead to panel tilting
5. Cast Iron pipes should not be used as rollers.

6. Ensure the area is leveled.
7. In case of narrow base panels lift the case at either end, to insert rollers etc. but never lift too much.
8. Workers handling panels should be alert to avoid injuries to toes as 3chances of getting caught under
rollers is always there.
9. Workers should be always behind the panels while pushing. To avoid tilting side ways proper guy ropes
can be provided.
33 | P a g e
10. If a chain pulley block or ‘tirfor’ is used for pulling, rope should be tied to the panel at the lowest level
possible.
11. When panels are to be lifted more than 2’, it is always advisable to lift both ends alternately, to avoid
lifting too much on one end.
M. HANDLING CABLE DRUMS AND CABLING WORKS
1. To the possible extent cables should be transported by trucks / trailers, except for short distances.
Loading into trucks can be done either by having ramp (Excavated slope) such that body of the truck
will be at ground level or by using cranes. Whenever cranes are used, slings should be of adequate
capacity. In many cases drums will be far away from the crane approach point. While deciding the
capacity of the crane, Safe working loads for the particular boom angle to be checked up. This is very
important to avoid accidents. After loading the drums into vehicle, proper wedges are to be provided
and to be tied properly to avoid rolling.
2. While rolling the drums care should be taken to roll in proper direction. Otherwise cable will get
loosened and cause problems while lying. Before rolling the drum soil condition is to be checked up.
Otherwise there is a possibility of sinking on one side and toppling. While rolling the drums in slopes,
wedges should be provided at regular intervals to avoid drum picking up uncontrollable speed.
Persons handling the drums should be always behind and on the sides of the drums and never in the
front. This precaution is very essential and non-observance while handling the drums at slopes can be
dangerous.
3. While laying the cables at height workers should have proper base. We should insist on using Safety
appliances like safety belts etc. Never use cast iron pipes as shaft. Jacks should have proper and wide
base to avoid tilting of jacks. Whenever the height of drum is more and packing is required, proper
sleepers should be used.
4. A person is to be at the other end, whenever megger test is done on cables. Proper cordoning is to be
done while high voltage test is carried out on cables.
5. While using single core cables, proper checks are to be made to avoid short between phases.
6. Most important, thing to ensure is that the gang leader should have basic knowledge of rigging work.
N. Cable Laying

6) Calculating the proper capacity of the slings and D –shackles.
34 | P a g e
7) Person should hold the cable drum with the help of guy rope not by Hands.
8) The person should hold the cable drum to the left side of the vehicle at distance 2m from
the material (not to the opposite side of the vehicle.)
9) Frequent inspection of tools and tackles should be done on weekly basis. If any Defect
found means it should be discarded immediately from the storage area.
10) The competent person before use should conduct load test of all Tools & Tackles.
11) Shifting the materials from yard to site through vehicle (Tractor), the vehicle driver should be
screened and should have a gate pass & valid license. Speed limit of the vehicle should be of
15Kmph in the site premises. Overload of vehicles should be avoided. Vehicle should be in
good condition and should be tested by competent person or by Safety Person.
Placing the drum over the jack
1) Placing the jack should be placed on an even surface

2) Proper capacity of jack and shaft should be used.
3) Proper alignment of cable drum and jack should be done.
4) Regular Maintenance of jacks should be done at regular intervals.
5) Proper supervision on the work should be ensured.
Rolling & Removing the cable from the drum for Laying over the Tray
1) The Cable from the drum should be removed slowly.

2) Proper supervision on the work should be ensured.
Laying the cable over the tray above 2mtrs height
1. Above 2 m height, Worker should wear full body safety harness belt with double lanyard.
And the belt should be hooked in the permanent rigid structure.
2. Life Line Rope (PP Rope) should be used while working in a trestle, unsafe condition and in
the unprotected beam.
3. Ladder should be used for climbing purpose above 2 m height. And it should be rigid
in condition and secured at both the ends. And it should be kept at 750.
O. TESTING & COMMISSIONING
1. Ensure all men and materials, are removed and bus bar chambers are closed before Meggering.
2. Ensure proper earthling before Meggering / high potential test is carried out.
3. Check the bus bar configuration etc. in case a part of the panel is being energized. In some cases,
manufacturers extend the bus bars of one section to the other section, to save adopter panels. In
one occasion where number of tie cables were more space behind the P.T. Panel was used for
cable connection, without proper •warning on the back cover, which caused bus fault.
35 | P a g e
4. Ensure thorough checking before carrying out high potential test, area should be cordoned off and
suitable warning boards are to be provided.
5. Panel manufacturers normally provide barriers between bus bar chambers to avoid accidental
contact with live parts, when you open the doors. Ensure all the barriers are in place before
Testing/Commissioning.
6. Control circuit fuses are to be removed before meggering /High pot testing.
7. Substation Grounding Practice

8. Use adequately insulated discharge rods with insulated wire for earth connections for
discharging the de-energized linerecognizing that three types of voltages, ie. Static, capacitive
coupled and electromagnetic induced voltage can exist in disconnected line.
9. Use the grounding switch of the isolator before carrying maintenance work.
10. Grounding connections and wire should be adequately sized to withstand the fault-current.
11. It requires additional physical work, as well additional time to adequately ground the work area
or equipment.
