1- PURPOSE

The purpose of method statement is to explain the scope of work for each activity and on this
method statement we are elaborating testing before energizing electrical supply for guest
rooms. It aims to ensure the integrity of electrical appliances and cables in sites and the safety
of personnel who use them,
Electrical installation testing should only be carried out by the qualified professional team
with the relevant equipment.

2- SCOPE OF WORK

The scope of this document is to describe the methodology for Dead Testing in order to ensure that
cable installation passed insulation and continuity tests. All provisions of the specifications and other
contract documents shall continue to apply. Where there is a conflict between this method statement
and the contract documents, the contract documents shall prevail and the construction manager will
have final authority

5 – Responsibilities
Special testing group will be responsible for ensuring all testing result will be in the bound of allowed
values.

6 - Resources
The following typical instrument is used for testing

Name of instrument: Electrical installation tester

Make: fluke

Model no: 1653B

7 - Execution

7.1-Continuity Test

 Outgoing circuit which is going to be tested will be found on the panel side.
 5cm part of the cable insulation will be removed.
 Find the furthest point of the outgoing circuit which is going to be tested.
 Connect the grounded and phase cores by using crocodile type connector or wire.
 Again find outgoing circuit on the panel side which is going to be tested.
 Arrange the test device as follows.

5|P age
 Turn the rotary switch to the RLO Position
 Use the L and P (red and green) terminal for this test.
 Before making a continuity test, use the Zero adapter to zero the test lead.
 Connect the respective leads to test wire.
 Press and hold TEST button until the reading settles .if continuity beeper is enabled ,the tester
beeps continuously
 For measured value less than 2 ohm and there is no stable reading beep for measured values
greater than 2 ohm.
 Revised the procedure for other circuit.
 We can see the result as below.

6|P age
7.2-Insulation Test
 Before supply any voltage, arrange the test device as seen from the picture.

 Be sure the tested circuit is open from both end


 Turn the rotary switch to the RISO position
 Use the L and P (red nd green) terminal for this test.
 Use F4 to select the test voltage 500 V.
 Press and hold TEST until the reading settles and the tester beeps.
 For P/P,P/N,P/E,N/E select information with F1 and revise the test.
 We can see the result as below.

8-Test Reports formate
Test report format is attached.

9-HEALTH &SAFETY RISKS and CONTROLS

9.1 - Foreseeable Hazards


In order to minimize potential hazards on site, the following actions should be taken by management prior to
Lighting & small power testing on site.
 We aware of that nobody touch the cable when insulation test is being held.

9.2 - Precautions
According to the safety regulations and Quantity Control Procedures following conditions are provided.
 All equipment and tools are checked for they are free of errors and fully operational
 All equipment and tools with defects are to be removed from the working area
 All defects with electric and electrical equipment will be corrected

Potential Impact Definition

People (P)
0 No Injury No injury or damage to health
1 Slight Injury Not detrimental to individual employability or to the performance of
present work
2 Minor Injury Detrimental to the performance of present work, such as curtailment of
activities or some days absence to recover fully up to a maximum of
one week.
3 Major Injury Leading to permanent partial disablement or unfitness to work or
detrimental to performance of work over an extended period, such as
long-term absence
4 Single Fatality Single fatality or victim with permanent total disablement or unfitness
for work. Also includes the possibility of multiple fatalities (maximum of
3) in close succession due to the incident, e.g. explosion
5 Multiple Fatalities May include four fatalities in close succession due to the incident, or
multiple fatalities (four or more) each at different points and/or with
different activities
Assets (A)
0 No Damage No damage to equipment
1 Slight Damage No disruption to process. Minimum cost of repair.
2 Minor Damage Possible brief disruption to the process. Isolation of equipment for
repair.
3 Localized Damage Construction site/building partly down. Process can (possibly) be
restarted.
4 Major Damage Partial loss of construction site/building. Construction site/building shut
down.
5 Extensive Damage Total loss of construction site/building. Extensive damage.
Environment/Society-cultural (E)
0 No Effect No financial consequences. No environmental risk
1 Slight Effect Negligible financial consequences. Local environmental damage within
the fence and within systems.
2 Minor effect Contamination. Damage sufficiently large to affect the environment.
Single exceedance of statutory or prescribed criteria. Single complaint.
No permanent effect on the environment.
3 Localized Effect Limited loss of discharges of known toxicity. Repeated exceed of
statutory or prescribed limit and beyond fence/neighborhood.
4 Major Effect Severe environmental damage. SE required to take extensive
measures to restore the contaminated environment to its original state.
Extended exceedance of statutory or prescribed limits.
5 Massive effect Persistent severe environmental damage or severe nuisance
extending over a large area. In terms of commercial or
recreational use or nature conservancy, a major economic loss for
SE. Constant high exceedance of statutory or prescribed limit.
Reputation (R)
0 No Impact No public awareness
1 Slight impact Public awareness of the incident may exist. There is no public concern.
2 Limited effect Some local public concern. Some complaints received. Slight media
and/or local political attention with potentially negative aspects for SE
operations.
3 Considerable Impact
Regional public concern. Numerous complaints. Extensive negative
attention in local media. Slight national media and/or local/
regional/national policies with potentially restrictive measures and/or
impact on grant of licenses. Mobilization of action groups.
4 National Impact National public concern. Continuing complaints. Extensive negative
attention in the national media and/or regional/national policies with
potentially restrictive measures and/or impact on grant of licenses.
Mobilization of action groups.
