 PARTIAL ACCEPTANCE TEST (PAT)
PROCEDURE FOR EARTHING & BONDING

1. PRELIMINARIES
1.1. Purpose
The test procedure describes how the PAT (Partial Acceptance Test) will be conducted for earthing and
bonding to ensure that the equipment / system operates satisfactorily as per the functional and safety
requirements stipulated in the Contract Documents and Approved Drawings.
The test procedure describes the following:
• Test resources, equipment, setup, procedures and requirement/ criteria of the PAT to ensure the
M&E equipment performs in an efficient, safe, reliable manner and to ensure the M&E equipment is
ready to be integrated with the rest of the system.
• PAT Inspection Record

1.2. Scope
The scope of this PAT covers the following:

• The Earthing Cable/Tapes will be tested using standard Multimeter and will be recorded in PAT
Inspection Record.

2. MANPOWER AND EQUIPMENT

2.1 Manpower

Designation Roles and Responsibilities

T&C Manager/ Engineer To plan and arrange for test activities
Wireman To carry out the tests
Skilled/ General Workers To assist wireman
TCS To inspect and verify the tests

2.2 Equipment
Equipment Function
Multimeter Tester (Fluke 1630 or Equivalent) To provide field measurement
with valid calibration certificate

3. TEST SETUP AND PROCEDURE

3.1 Test Setup
1. All earthing and bonding conductors have been correctly installed and terminated as per the
drawings.
2. Set the multimeter to the correct ohms range
3. Check the multimeter reads zero when the multimeter leads are connected together

3.2 Test Procedure

EARTHING / BONDING TEST TO EARTH

1. Connect one of the multimeter test leads to the earthing / bonding conductor using a suitable
earth clamp

2. Connect the other multimeter test lead to the earth terminal

3. The multimeter should be reading less than 1 ohms

Earthing / Bonding Continuity Test

1. Connect one of the multimeter test leads to the earthing / bonding conductor using a suitable
earth clamp

2. Connect the other multimeter test lead to a parallel running cable

3. Temporary connect the other end of the parallel running cable to the earthing / bonding conductor
further down its length

 PARTIAL ACCEPTANCE TEST (PAT)
PROCEDURE FOR EARTHING & BONDING

4. A conductive path is formed and the multimeter (buzzer mode) will beep / read to zero or nearly to
zero

5. Repeat this test for the full length of the earthing / bonding conductor.

3.3 Test Result

1 If the buzzer of multimeter is active once the conductive path is formed and the resistance value is
less than 1 Ohm, the PAT is considered PASS.

3.4 Post-Test Procedure

1. In the event test failed, the following steps need to be taken
a. Test the cable/equipment for any defects
b. Replace the cable/equipment
c. Re-inspection will be done

4. NECESSARY TEST REQUIREMENTS

4.1 QAQC Documentation
• PICO Inspection Record and snags have been closed accordingly.

4.2 Safety
If the working environment falls withing the following conditions, the following safety cautions
need to be followed

Potential Hazards Hazard Control

Electric Shock The earthing installation shall be tested

independently as a system and not connected
to any equipment/systems with potential
earth faults

4.3 Communication
• Dependent on the location / area the cables is located in, radio communication may be
required

4.4 Test and Commissioning Spares

• Not Applicable
