The purpose of this method of statement is to explain step by step method to implement the
correct practices for the pre-commissioning, testing & commissioning
commissioning of “LV Switchgear”
through the guidelines contained herein so as to e nsure that the job exe
execution
cution complies with
the project requirements and serves the intended function to satisfactory level.
Pre-commissioning
Pre-commissioning Procedure for LV Switchgear
1. Ensure that the LV Sw itchgear installation is complete & all mechanical & electrical
comments on installation ITRs are completed & approved.
2. Ensure that no damage has occurred be tween mechanical completion & pre-
commissioning.
4. Check for the location of installation is free of any water or construction debris.
5. Ensure that the Switchgear are properly tagged & identified location wise and service
wise as specified.
6. Ensure that the wiring termination to the LV Switchgear are complete & are tight &
secure.
7. Ensure that the outgoing cables (power & control) from the Switchgear are terminated
in the respective panels & properly tagged & identified.
10. Ensure that the cables to the Switchgear are properly tagged
tagge d & identified.
11. Ensure that the rating of the breakers (ACB, MCCB,MCB & ELCB) are as per approved
shop drawings & schedules.
12. Ensure that overload relays are selected & set as per the actual connected load.
13. Ensure that the interlocking is done as specified.
16. Check for proper sliding of the cubicles in the rails for all draw out modules.
17. Check the termination of the cables to the bus bars are tightened to the required torque
using torque wrench.
2. Apply a voltage of 500 volts DC between phase ‘R’ to Earth for 1 minute with phase Y,B
& N shorted & earthed & record the values.
2. Short the Y & B phase and connect to earth. Also connect the enclosure to earth.
3. Switch ON the HV test kit control unit & apply the recommended test vo ltage (by
increasing gradually) for 1 minute to R-phase with respect to other phases earthed &
grounded.
5. After 1 minute gradually reduce the test voltage to zero & then switch-off the HV test kit.
Discharge the pole & also the HV test kit.
6. Repeat the test for Y-phase & B-phase & tabulate the results.
2. Inject the nominal secondary values step by step using secondary injection kit to the
power scheme & tabulate the output values as per the rating of meters.
1. Ensure that all the pre-commissioning checks are c arried out successfully.
2. The incoming supply of the LV switch gear shall be measured for current, voltage,
frequency & phase sequence.
3. The outgoing feeders shall be energized one by one & the supply shall be measured for
current, voltage, phase & frequency.
4. Check the metering functions for proper operation & correct readings.
