PURPOSE

This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is issued and maintained by FO/MNT/ELC and
reviewed by HSE as it belongs to the TOTAL E&P INDONESIE (TI) HSE Manual.
The objectives of the Electrical Safety Procedures (ESP) are the following:
- to provide directives for the application of safety electrical work rules,
- to eliminate personnel injuries, reduction of damage to equipment/property and to
prevent reoccurrence,
- to establish responsibility and accountability,
- to assure the safety of the company's employees and contractors who work on electrical equipment,
- to ensure the continuity of the electrical supply in the best safe conditions.
A hard copy of this procedure is issued to Electrical Section at each site. This SOP is also
part of the TI CMS, Corporate Management System, available at Intranet.

SCOPE

This SOP is applicable in all TI premises and entities.

Any works related to electricity including instrumentation and mechanical works, which require isolation and de-isolation of electric power supply shall refer to this SOP.
Each employee belonging to TI or contracted by TI who may be concerned with the operation or work on electrical equipment / installation within the TI premises must strictly follow
this SOP.

OPERATIONS OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

5.1 WORK ON LIVE PARTS
As a general rule, the interventions or the works of electrical field shall be performed on
dead equipment or installation.
Work on High Voltage is absolutely prohibited.
Work on live-parts (only on Low Voltage) could only be performed under the following
circumstances:
- 1st case: the switching off of the installation or equipment may jeopardize the
life or the health of person,
- 2nd case: imperative necessities of exploitation prevent the switching off of the
installation or equipment,
- 3rd case: the nature of the work itself requires the presence of voltage (verification of circuits, relays, measuring devices, search and localization of faults,
etc.).
On above 1st and 2nd cases, the specific working procedures and safety measures have
to be set up by Site Electrical Supervisor and approved by Head of Electrical Method
Service and during work execution, Electrical Authorized Person shall supervise the
work closely.
For above 3rd case i.e. calibration, test, measurement and recording of electrical network are considered as intervention on live parts with the following condition:
- only could be performed on LVA,
- could only be done by competent person having ability permit to do so,
- precaution should be taken to avoid electrical danger,
- all working and used measurement devices are in safe and proper condition.

5.2 INTERVENTION
In case of any doubt (in implementation of the following rules), it is the responsibility of
the RSES to appreciate if electrical works require the application of the work permit procedure or not.
5.2.1

WITHOUT WORK PERMIT AND ELECTRICAL ISOLATION PERMIT

Unless:
- RSES does ask for issuing a Work Permit,
- the works are located within an Explosive Area,
the following works do not require the Work Permit and Isolation Permit:
- replacement of LV fuses,
- replacement of lamps and ballast including minor repair,
- systematic maintenance of battery,
- running test of emergency generators,
- running test of turbine generators,
- change-over turbine generator operation,
- restarting of thermal electric generator/CCVT,
- all works in workshop area,
- routine systematic maintenance and performance test on engines, HVAC,
domestic equipment and generators.
However:
- all above works should be recorded in a logbook available in control room,
- those interventions should always be made in the absence of voltage (if applicable).
- those intervention shall be covered by written instruction
5.2.2

WITH WORK PERMIT AND ISOLATION PERMIT

The work should not be started without following existing work permit procedure.
If work location is not in Electrical Room, each working zone should be delimited by
protection tape
Passage for evacuation should be preserved every time.
The work could be started only when any possible voltage sources are isolated.
The electrical supervisor shall issue an electrical isolation permit to cover electrical
locking off and total isolation.

5.3 WORKING IN HAZARDOUS AREAS

When working in classified area, with risk of presence of ignition source, emission of nonaked flame work permit associated or not with risk assessment shall define precautions to be implemented to avoid explosion, such as but not limited to:
- use of non sparking tools or intrinsically safe
- ventilation of the atmosphere,
- permanent monitoring of presence of explosive gas

authorized persons or someone accompanied by him/her.
All Substations, Electrical Technical Rooms or Technical Switchgears shall be kept
locked. The keys shall be available in Electrical Supervisor Room.

5.5 OPERATION OF SWITCHGEAR

Circuit breaker or switch must not be operated without the presence of Electrical Supervisor or his/her delegation (who having suitable Electrical Ability Permit to do so) except
in circumstances where any circuit breaker or switch has to be opened to prevent danger to life or in extreme emergency.
When a circuit breaker or switch has been opened, it must not be closed again without
consent of the Electrical Supervisor or his/her delegation who has suitable Electrical
Ability Permit.
No switching operations could be performed by persons other than those authorized to
do so.
All electrical distribution switching operation will be reported, detailed sequenced and
suitably time/date recorded in Isolation Log Book.

5.6 RE-CLOSING AFTER FAULT OPERATION

be performed only by Isolation Responsible.

5.8 OPERATION OF OTHER ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT IN PLANT AREA

The start-stop operations of motors driving process equipment and the switching of
other electrical equipment such as plant lighting, process heating, etc. will be carried out
by operators or maintenance personnel having Ability Certificate to do so and also as
required by the process operations.

5.9 CUTTING AND JOINTING OF CABLES

Before any cable is cut, it must be identified and made dead and when practicably
should be earthed.
Cutting of cable in hazardous area requires a hot work permit procedure.
Jointing of cables shall be performed using only the appropriate material.

5.10

MECHANICAL WORK ON ELECTRICAL DRIVEN MACHINE

Locking off (partial/electrical isolation) and locking off all other sources of power are
necessary, and must appear on main work permit. For this type of work among aother
requirements (refer also to SOP 03-002), an electrical isolation permit is required. After
checking that the right machine has been locked off, no possibility of local or remote
start-up, using padlocks, then work can be started on the machine.

6.2 ELECTRICAL ISOLATION PERMIT

6.2.1

GENERALITIES

1. For each work which requires an electrical isolation permit, a separate electrical
isolation permit shall be issued, even if the same item is already isolated for
other work. In this case all the works shall be completed before the electrical
isolation could be cancelled.
2. The Electrical Isolation Permit is required for any intervention or work on
equipment or an installation, which has to be electrically isolated.
3. It can only be issued as a complimentary permit to the main work permit and
can never be used alone. It has to be signed off to indicate that the equipment
has been de-isolated.
4. The electrical isolation shall use padlock and follow the lock off procedure (especially for HV equipment) available on each site for each equipment.
5. When the electrical section requires locking off/ electrical isolation of equipment
for electrical work, the same procedure shall be adopted.
6. Separation of equipment or network from possible voltage sources should be
clearly visible and secured (breaker or contactor draw-out, perfect operating indication).
7. The Electrical Isolation Permit can only be prepared by Electrical Authorized
Person and the isolation work should only be done by Isolation Responsible.
The isolation work has to be documented in special isolation logbook. Basically
a record of each activity will be made as follows:
- the work permits number,
- the tag number of the equipment concerned,
- the padlock number,
- the name (and badge number) of the work responsible,
- the date and time of this operation started,
- the date of return of the padlock (and key) to the section Supervisor,
8. The isolation logbook should be kept in a good manner.
9. The five copies of the isolation permit should be signed together.
9.1. During performing work:
- white copy shall be put in work place and available there permanently
and to be presented at any request
- yellow copy shall be kept by Operating Authority
- blue copy shall be put in Control Room
- pink copy shall be kept by Electrical Authority
- green copy shall be kept by RSES
