5.2 Pre-Commissioning Checks


The following pre-checks to be done prior to commencing testing and commissioning
procedure:
• A visual inspection will be carried out prior to testing procedures in order to ensure
safe area/premise for testing process.
• The visual inspection will include the physically checking the installation to make
certain that the electrical equipment including conductors have been correctly
selected and erected and have not been damaged during the erection.
• The visual inspection is made with the supply disconnected to remove the risk of
shock while equipment is opened and live parts are exposed. (Only for live test)
• Panels and containing rooms are clean and kept locked at the time of testing.
• Ensure all the labelling is complete for circuits, MCCBs, RCDs, isolators, switches,
socket outlets, terminals, etc as applicable.
• Check the cables size as per approved load schedule
• Wiring/Cable not damaged along its entire length.
• Ensure the circuits are connected and closed so no bare cables/conductors are
visible.
• Ensure all earth points are satisfactorily connected and terminated.
• All aspects of earthing are completed and approved prior to live tests.
• Updated load schedule is in place.
5.3. Testing And Commissioning Procedure

5.3.1 Cold Test- Continuity Test:


• Continuity test carried out to confirm that the cable core is continuous between the
ends.
• Before starting a continuity test, the test lead resistance should be nulled such that
it does not add extra resistance to the circuit being measured.

Radial and Lighting circuits:

• Check the continuity between phase and Earth by shorting at the Distribution Board
side.
• Check the continuity from the terminals of the farthest connection point or socket
outlet.
• A small buss sound (or resistance value) will confirm continuity passed.
• Repeat the test between phase and neutral.

• It is, however, most important to ensure that all single-pole lighting switches are
connected in the phase (live) conductor, rather than in the neutral.
• Record the result on the cable test sheet.

Ring circuits:

• First, the end-to-end resistances of the line, neutral and earth are measured
separately at the distribution board side.

• A small beef sound (or resistance value) will confirm continuity.


• Next, ensure that there are no ‘bridges’ at any point on the ring. Connect the phase
conductor from one end of the ring to the neutral from the other end and do the same
with the other two phase and neutral conductors at the Distribution Board side.
• Check the continuity from the terminals of the socket outlets for phase and neutral.

• The readings at all points should be substantially similar.


• Repeat the test for Phase and Earth conductor.
• Record the result on the cable test sheet.

Three phase circuits:


• Check the continuity test for Phase to phase, phases to neutral, phases to earth and
neutral to earth.
• Check the continuity between the two conductors by shorting it at the board side.
• Check the continuity from the terminals on the other end at field side.
• A small beef sound (or resistance value) will confirm continuity.
• Record the test result on the cable test sheet.
• Disconnect probes & repeat the above steps for other cores.

5.3.2 Cold Test- Insulation Resistance Test

• The insulation resistance test is carried out to measure the insulation resistance
between phases to phase/phase to neutral/phase to earth (Phase to phase for three
phase circuits only).
• Ensure that cable is disconnected at the testing end as well as other end and
someone is looping the cables being tested from another end.
• For single phase circuits, connect the test leads to the two conductors to be tested.
(Phase and Neutral).
• Set the test instrument to required voltage. Sigle phase (230V) shall be tested at
500 DCV and for 3 phase (400V) at 1000 DCV.
• Press TEST and record the values on the approved test sheet (Attached)
• Disconnect test leads and discharge.
• Repeat above for Phase & Earth, neutral & Earth.
• For three phase circuits, perform the insulation resistance test for Phase to phase,
phases to neutral, phases to earth and neutral to earth.
• Record the test results accordingly on the approved test sheet.

5.3.3 Live test- Polarity/ Phase Rotation test

• Caution testing to be carried out under live condition & warning notice must be put
in place and necessary permit to be signed for that particular test. All to be prepared
prior to test.
• For single phase circuits, a test of polarity should be carried out to verify that every
fuse and single pole control and protective device is connected in the phase
conductor only.
• For socket outlets, connect the tester in the live sockets and an indication will show
correct polarity.

• For three phase circuits, check phase sequence or phase rotation. This will be done
by connecting the three leads of the tester to the three phase terminals.

• The tester will indicate either clockwise rotation or counter-clockwise rotation.


• This is to ensure that all three phase circuits phase sequence is maintained
throughout the electrical system.
• Record the test report in approved test format (Attached).

5.3.4 Live test- External Loop impedance (Ze) test and Prospective Fault
Current Measurement test
• Caution testing to be carried out under live condition & warning notice must be put
in place and necessary permit to be signed for that particular test. All to be prepared
prior to test.

• Carry out earth loop impedance (Ze) test on the board. Ensure that the main and
outgoing circuit of the board under test is in OFF position and the main earth cable
termination is disconnected from the board main earth terminal. Check instrument
for safety and correct settings.
• For single phase board, connect the earth clip of the earth loop impedance tester to
the disconnected main earth conductor, then connect the other line probe to phase
terminal of the incoming cable on the incoming side of main disconnect (isolator).
Note: Refer to manufacturer’s instructions for correct settings and connections.

line-to-neutral and line-to-earth. Refer to manufacturer’s instructions for correct
settings and connections.
• Press the test button and record the test report in approved test format (Attached).

5.3.5 Live Test- Earth Fault Loop Impedance (Zs) Test:

• Switch panel main disconnect ‘’on’’ and switch on the outgoing circuits.
• For single phase circuit, take the earth loop impedance (Zs) reading at the farthest
most point from the board of the outgoing circuit under test. Connect the test probes
as per manufacturer’s instructions for correct connections.
• Press the test button and record the results on the approved test sheet already
containing the cold test results.
• For three phase circuits, take the Zs reading of each phase (R, Y and B). Connect
the test probes as per manufacturer’s instructions for correct connections.
• The highest reading obtained is recorded as the earth fault loop impedance (Zs) for
3 phase circuit.
