The procedures and methodologies that shall be employed herein shall be done in accordance with the
Project's Technical Specification, the Rules and Regulations of the Local Authority, and the latest
standards as set forth by the Qatar Construction Specifications. Importantly, all testing and commissioning
works shall be done in a safe manner so as to avoid danger to people and to the equipment.

Testing and commissioning must be carried out in sequence as set out below:

Stage 1: Tests before connection of Electrical Supply - To carry out all visual inspection and
electrical tests to ensure that all electrical equipment like panels , board sand devices,
cables and wires, etc., are completed prior to the supply or connection of power.

Stage 2: Pre-commissioning Test - To carry out all pre-commissioning test to demonstrate that all
electrical equipment or devices are properly operating in accordance with its required
function.

Stage 3: Commissioning Test - To carry out the full commissioning test to the following electrical
systems:
A) Main Power System
B) Lighting and Small Power System
C) Earthing & lightning Protection system.

PROCEDURES

1.0 ELECTRICAL LIGHTING AND POWER


SYSTEM

Procedures:
1) All electrical Installations to be completed and approved by the consultant prior to start
the Testing and commissioning.
2) MV panels, SMDB's& PFCU's are tested at factory witnessed by the Consultant.
3) Insulation and Continuity test sheets provided along with inspection of each SMDB's and
DB's incoming and outgoing cables and final circuits.
4) Continuity/ insulation test will be take each phase to phase, phase to neutral and neutral
to earth conductors.
5) Test will be conducted within all the breakers in open position to confirm no short circuits
in the feeders.
6) Earth Leakage circuits will be tested for tripping the breakers properly.

7) Ensure main isolator of MVP, SMDB's& DB's will be kept off while energizing the power
supply.
8) Check the system Voltage reading by the selector switch on the front panel. (Phase to
phase and phase to neutral) and 3 phase supply available indication are showing
properly.
9) Outgoing feeders of MVP, SMDB's& final circuits of DB's close one by one.
10) Ensure all the feeders, sub feeders and final circuits are working in normal condition.
11) Verify the Polarity and phase rotation of all Fuses, control switches Isolators and
Motor/Pumps etc….
12) A test shall be made to verify the Continuity of all conductors (including ECC) of every
ring circuits and all reading shall be tabulated
Notes:
1- Earth continuity shall be checked for all the metal connecting points.
2- Checked all the wiring devices are connected and working properly.
3- Insulation resistance test shall be conducted twice the system supply voltage.
