9.3 Specific Requirements of Field Electrical Inspection & Testing

9.3.1 Test Procedure

Typical tests are listed below. The list is not exhaustive and is meant only for
guidance. Contractor shall prepare detailed test lists as per the standards and submit
for Company’s approval.

9.3.2 Testing Instruments

In addition to normal testing instruments like ammeter, voltmeter etc., the following
instruments shall also be used as required.

• Insulation resistance measurements shall be made with hand cranked or a battery

operated type 100 meg ohm megger rated at 500 volt DC for low voltage
circuits, and 5kV megger for 11kV circuits. In general, insulation resistance shall
be measured one (1) minute after applying the voltage. If insulation value does
not stabilise within 1 minute, measurement shall be postponed until it has
stabilised, preferably during dry temperature weather.
• Grounding resistance shall be measured with a portable hand cranked ground
testing instrument or a direct reading grounding resistance testing instrument,
using two reference electrodes( Fall of Potential or 3 terminal earth resistance
test ).
• Primary and secondary injection test set up for testing motor relays.
• All other equipment and test instruments required for testing and
commissioning.

9.3.3 Typical Inspection and Tests

9.3.3.1 LV Switchgear & Motor Control Centre

• Inspect for damage and missing parts

• Inspect loose bolts and nuts
• Inspect insulators
• Inspect busbars, bus joints and bolted connections
• Check torque on busbar bolts
• Check ground connections
• Draw out each module and test for proper operation in service, test and isolated
positions
• Check, test and operate switches as per instructions
• Test the CTs for Ratio/polarity
• Check and set thermal overload relays using motor nameplate data

• Inspect for proper grounding and measure earth resistance
• Inspect and test insulation resistance of motor with cables connected and star
open R-Y, Y-B, B-R, R-G, Y-G, B-G
• Run motor uncoupled, check direction of rotation, run for at least 30 minutes
and check bearing temperature rise
• Check no load current in each phase
• Couple the motor to driven equipment and check for full load current in each
phase

9.3.3.3 Cables
