Preface
The Company accepts and recognizes its legal and moral responsibilities for ensuring the safe
design, construction, operation and maintenance of equipment and the provision of safe systems
of work which protect the health and safety of employees, contractors and the public. These
responsibilities rank equally with all other business objectives of the Company.
Tanweer operational staff and who is undertaking work on behalf of Tanweer on its
distribution system shall provide detailed switching program sequence to proceed with
planned / unplanned / Emergency switching on the HV system. This procedure defines how
work on HV distribution network will be executed using Switching Program. Furthermore,
Tanweer operational staff and who is working on behalf of tanweer on HV distribution system
are required to undertake unplanned and emergency switching, when events require
response to restore supply or isolate plant and circuit to isolate fault or danger.This
procedure defines how unplanned / emergency switching is to be carried out on Tanweer
distribution system.
In additional, any changes to be done on existing 11kV and 33 kV network, the person
responsible MUST update network operating diagram accordingly, therefore This procedure
defines how the update is to be carried out.

Objective
The objectives of this SOP are:
• To explain how to meet the obligations of getting approval on switching program to

undertake work on Tanweer distribution system.
• To set guidelines and timetable to undertake Switching Program.
• To specify the information to be provided amongst the staff of Tanweer and who is
working on behalf of Tanweer to ensure safe switching and comply with the ESR.
• To define roles and responsibilities of approving and conducting the Switching
Program.
• To explain how to meet the obligations before undertaking switching on the HV
networks for unplanned/emergency events;
• To explain the procedure when there is urgent need to act in an emergency situation
when people, plant or circuits are in immediate danger.
• To explain the procedure to update the 11 kV and 33 kV Network Operating Diagram
to ensure the network information change is updated.
• To define roles and responsibilities on reporting and document outage on tanweer
distribution system.

PLANNED SWITCHING PROGRAM

PLANNED SWITCHING PROGRAM - PREPARATION STAGE
Tanweer needs to have organized sequence procedures in place in advance of undertaking

switching on the HV network. Preparing Switching Program in a timely
manner is mandatory to secure safe operation and comply with Electrical Safety Rule.
The workflow below explains the sequence of PLANNED Switching Program in preparation
stage.
The workflow defines roles for each part involving in switching program cycle. The switching
program must be prepared and approved 3 days before execution.
In exceptional circumstances, where due to unforeseen network or customer requirements,

the SAEP may request permission to complete the process within 3 days of the planned
work but this is only possible with the prior agreement and authorization of the Head of
Control.

Un-PLANNED SWITCHING PROGRAM

Un-PLANNED SWITCHING PROGRAM - PREPARATION STAGE
Tanweer needs to have organized sequence procedures in place in advance of carried

out switching on the HV network. Preparing Switching Program in a timely
manner is mandatory to secure safe operation and comply with Electrical Safety Rule
DURING UNPLANNED SWITCHING PROGRAM. The DCC ASSUMED TO HAVE
access to the SCADA system at Duqm, Musandam and Masirah currently which
provides alarms, indication and the current state of plant at 33 kV and 11 kV
substations. The network without SCADA system, report shall be received through site
SAEP. The DCC must secure updated data/ NOD of the plant and circuits of the 33
kV and 11 kV level. When any plant or circuit is at abnormal condition, this shall be

1 Incident Incident reporting, either an alarm on the SCADA

system or reported from SAEP, Call Centre, Zone
emergency engineer or bulk customer, will require
the DCP to be notified. The DCP will log the event
and determine appropriate action. When HV circuit SAEP
breaker has tripped at a Primary Substation, the
DCP should identify the substation name the DCP
feeder name and any indications on the SCADA Call
system. These should be logged on the DCC Center
Outage Sheet and Control Log with the time of the
circuit breaker operation. The DCP will send SMS
to TANWEER management and the call center to
inform of the outage and lost load.
2 Incident DCP shall contact the SAEP to discuss the
Investigation incident and instruct to investigate the incident. All
HSE Rules and the requirements of approved
TANWEER ESR must be strictly followed; SAEP is SAEP
responsible for the safety of Tanweer staff, DCP
contactors and the public. SAEP shall confirm the
network NOD to be used is updated.
3 Incident Following investigation, the DCP will receive
Investigation information from SAEP which will confirm the
situation, the normal or abnormal state of plant or
circuit. The DCP will log all relevant information SAEP
and times. The DCP and SAEP will discuss DCP
options where action needs to be taken to restore
supplies or protect people, plant or circuits from
danger. The SAEP and the DCP shall agree un
planned switching program is required.
4 Preparing After deciding the appropriate action, the
switching DCP will write switching instructions in the DCC
program Outage Sheet, and switching sheet. The DCP will
SAEP
give the instructions to the SAEP with switching
sequence. The SAEP will write the sequence in his DCP
Field Outage Sheet and repeat them back to the
DCP. Both the DCP and the SAEP will record the
agreed switching sequence.

5 Carrying out SAEP follows the instructions of DCP to perform

switching the switching sequence and record the times of
sequence each sequence.
Before issuing any safety documents (PTW / SFT /
LOA), the SAEP shall inform DCP that the SAEP
sequence instructed being completed and shall
DCP
confirm the times of each sequence. The DCP
shall record on the DCC copy of
the Switching Program the times of each
sequence including isolation, CME and application
of safety locks and caution.
6 Carrying out The SAEP shall identify the details of the safety
switching document and the authorization of the permit
SAEP
sequence executer. The DCP shall confirms all appropriate
isolation and earthing is in place and the permit
executer has valid authorization. No permit shall
be issued if the permit executer does not have the
required authorization. The DCP shall agree and
record the time of the issue of the safety document
on the DCC copy of the Switching Program, and
the SAEP shall record the time on his copy of the
Switching Program.
7 cancellation of Once work completed, the permit executer shall
safety inform the SAEP and sign of the safety document

This will depend on the circumstances and
may involve raising to a manager or may
require attendance of emergency services
if there are persons
injured. There may also need to be further
