operating time. Repeat the test at any other relay settings as directed
during the test.
8. Record the relay settings being left at the end of the test.
F. Battery Test
1. Under fully charged condition, open the input switchgear to the battery
charger. Record the battery voltage against time and operate the ACBs
and controlgear to verify that the battery provided is adequate for its
intended duty.
2. After the battery discharge test, resume the power supply to the battery
charger. Record the charging voltage and charging current against time to
verify that the battery charger and battery provided is adequate for its
intended duty.
G. Functional Tests
1. Carry out functional tests to check that all control circuits are correctly
wired, and that all control schemes specified are fully incorporated.
3.01 At appropriate stages of the installation, inspection and testing prior to the energising of
equipment, carry out insulation tests and submit records for approval.
3.02 At appropriate stages of the installation and prior to operational testing, carry out
potential tests of equipment and submit records for approval.
3.03 Carry out operational tests of all electrical equipment in proper staged phases prior to
energising and submit records for approval.
3.04 Develop a complete and detailed plan for the site testing of the power supply systems
beginning with the incoming breakers and following a logical plan which will allow
energisation of the system in a safe and secure manner and to interface and co-
ordinate with the other electrical and mechanical installations. For example, the
battery charger and batteries shall be checked prior to furnishing the DC control power
for the circuit breakers.
The circuit breaker control shall be operationally checked for all local control, including
testing up to interface terminal points for signals and control interconnection to other
system or installation prior to carrying out operational tests of the circuit breaker.
3.05 Carry out surveillance and security check of the power supply systems including
padlocking or otherwise maintaining control of the power supply, padlocking of
switchgear and circuit breaker units, distribution switchboards, etc. throughout all
energisation stages of the installation. Co-ordinate with the other specialist contractors
and sub-contractors to assure no downstream cables or other electrical equipment is
energised before being tested and before other specialist contractors' and sub-
contractors' facilities are ready and secure. This requirement shall remain in force for
each part of the system until such a time that the complete installation is certified
complete in writing by the Employer's Authorized Representative.
3.06 Take precautionary measures during testing and the method of tests shall be such that
no danger to persons or property can occur even if the circuit being tested is defective.

are in order.
4.01.3 The list provided below is an indicative minimum of the tests required.
4.02 Cables
A. Continuity Test.
C. Earthing Test.
D. Polarity Test.
A. Visual Checks
1. Carry out visual inspection of the general construction of the MCC and
LMCPs, the busbar system, switchgear, instrumentation, cabling
provisions, etc. to determine if the MCC and LMCPs are ready for further
testing and subsequent delivery to site.
B. Dielectric Test
1. With all switching devices in open positions, carry out 1000V meggar test
for phase to earth, phase to phase, phase to neutral, and phase to earth to
measure the insulation resistance.
2. Repeat the above test with all switching devices in closed position.
3. Apply 2kV AC between all live parts and the exposed conductive parts (ie
between L1+L2+L3+N and E) for 60 seconds and measure the leakage
current.
4. Repeat the above test between each pole and all the other poles
connected to the exposed conductive parts (ie between L1 and
L2+L3+N+E, L2 and L1+L3+N+E, L3 and L1+L2+N+E, N and
L1+L2+L3+E).
5. The test voltage at the moment of application shall not exceed 1000V and
shall then be increased steadily within a few seconds to 2000V and
maintained for 60 seconds.
7. Repeat the meggar test with all switching devices in closed position after
the HV test.
