.. COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE
,) INSPECT ANY PHYSICAL DAMAGE IN THE BUSBAR,
INSULATION, PANEL DOORS, POWER & SLIDING
CONTACTS ETC. AND TO BE RECTIFIED IF FOUND
,,) MAKING THE PANEL INSIDE DUSTFREE & FREE FROM
FOREIGN MATERIALS
,,,) CHECKING THE TIGHTNESS ALIGNMENT & CLEARANCE OF
BUS BARS ,SMOOTHNESS IN RACKING IN & RACKING
OUT OF MODULES,PROPER MAKING OF SLIDING
CONTACTS, TIGHTNESS OF INPUT POWER CABLES AND
MODULE POWER CONTROL O*PS & CONTROL INTERNAL
WIRINGS
,/) INSPECT ALL RELAYS AND MAKE SURE THAT ANY
BLOCKING USED FOR SHIPPING PURPOSE IS REMOVED
AND THE ARMATURE MOVES FREELY.
/) CHECK ALL DOORS FOR PROPER MOUNTING WITH
RESPECT TO THE SWITCH HANDLE.
/,) CHECK DOOR INTERLOCK MECHANISM
/,,) TEST THE PT0,CT0 & RELAYS INVOLVED. KEEP THE
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS FOR THE RELAYS LIKE
OVERCURRENT, UNDERVOLTAGE & OVERLOAD
PROTECTIONS, CALIBRATE THE METERS (AMMETERS,
VOLTMETERS, POWER METERS & ENERGY METERS ETC)
/,,,) TEST THE INSULATION OF BOARDS WITH !## V DC
MEGGER & THE VALUE SHOULD BE AS PER THE RELEVANT
IS SPECIFICATION (MORE THAN ! MEGA OHMS)
,1) CHECK CLOSING & TRIPPING INTERLOCKS,OVERLOAD
RELEASE SETTIONG OF ALL ACB0 IN THE PANEL
1) MEASURE BUSBAR RESISTANCE,ACB0 CONTACT
RESISTANCE (SHOULD BE LESS THAN !# MILLI OHMS),
CLOSING & TRIPPING TIME IF TEST REPORT IS NOT
AVAILABLE AT SITE.
1,) CHECK THE PROTECTION CIRCUIT WIRING CONNECTIONS
BY CONDUCTING PRIMARY IN'ECTION CURRENT
1,,) CARRY OUT HIPOT TEST FOR -!2 OF VOLTAGE
MENTIONED IN THE TEST REPORT AND FIND OUT THE
LEAKAGE CURRENT
1,,,) CHECK THE INPUT POWER CABLE TERMINATIONS
FROM TRANSFORMER SECONDARY
1,/) ENSURE THE PHASE SE(UENCE AND CIRCUIT CLOSING
OF CT0 ARE PROPER BEFORE CHARGING THE PANEL.
1/) CHECK CLOSING & TRIPPING MECHANISM OPERATES
SMOOTHLY BOTH MANUALLY AND ELECTRICALLY
1/,) SPACE HEATERS & THERMOSTAT SHALL BE IN GOOD
CONDITION
