    The document provides details on testing procedures for commissioning low voltage (LT) switchgear at a 350 MW power plant. It includes specifications for the switchgear components and outlines tests to be performed on busbars, current transformers, voltage transformers, relays, circuit breakers, ammeters, voltmeters and the changeover scheme. Safety protocols for charging the LT switchgear are also described, involving visual inspections, clearance from work parties, isolation of outgoing feeders and racking in/out of circuit breakers and auxiliary transformers. Voltage measurements and phase matching tests are to be conducted at different stages of energization from the upstream switchgear.

    The document describes the testing schedule and procedure for commissioning LT switchgear in a 350MW power plant. It involves performing various visual checks and electrical tests on equipment like busbars, current transformers, voltage transformers and relays. It also details the procedure for charging the 415V MCC which involves checking voltages, phasing and proper functioning of control circuits.

    The document describes the procedure for testing and commissioning the LT switchgear in a 350MW power plant. It involves performing visual checks as per a pre-commissioning checklist and then conducting various electrical tests like milli-volt drop tests, insulation resistance tests, ratio tests, winding resistance measurements, etc. on different equipment to check their parameters.

    The different tests being performed on the equipment include milli-volt drop tests, insulation resistance tests, winding resistance measurements, ratio tests, polarity checks, magnetization characteristic tests, pickup/dropout value checks, time delay checks, burden checks, and primary injection tests on equipment like busbars, current transformers, voltage transformers and relays.
