1. SCOPE OF PROGRAM

The program defines checks and tests to be carried out on individual materials and

electrical system during installation or on completion.

Checks and tests aim at determining any abnormalities that may have occurred during

transport, installation and assembly and at establishing the efficiency of systems and

circuits and feasibility of components.

These checks and tests do not aim at repeating inspections carried out at the supplier's

premises and, therefore, at verifying the performance and correct construction of

materials.

2. DEFINITION OF TERMS

The following words and expressions shall have the meanings hereby assigned to

them:

- "COMPANY" (or Employer) shall mean the name of Company who has

called for Tenders to provide and execute the works and who will employ the

CONTRACTOR and the legal successors in title to the Employer but not (except

with the consent of the CONTRACTOR) any assignee of the Employer;

- CONTRACTOR" means the person or persons, firm or company whose tender

has been accepted by the Employer and includes the CONTRACTOR's personnel

representatives, successor and permitted assignees subject to Employer consent;

- INSPECTION AUTHORITY, i.e. the organization nominated by COMPANY

to supervise checks and tests.

3. PROGRAM DEFINITION CRITERIA

The program described on the following pages takes into account the Client's

requirements and has been defined considering that every check and test has a specific

intrinsic value with regard to data or characteristics to be established. However, this value

varies depending on the role played by the system, circuit or component to which it

applies and this role is linked to implications concerning malfunction and safety of

personnel and equipment.

Therefore, depending on the importance of the circuit, checks and tests may be carried

out only on a sample of identical or similar circuit components (e.g. motor starters).

The program has been prepared by subdividing checks and tests as follows:


5/59



Sheet 5 di 59

3.1 Checking of materials before installation

Before being installed, materials must undergo a "visual examination" to determine any

damage or breakage to prevent the installation of materials that will require replacement

at a later stage.

This check will, generally, be carried out at the warehouse.

However, for some materials which must be transported to the place of installation in

their packing (e.g. panels) it can be carried out on site.

Note: In doubtful cases instrument checks and/or tests can be carried out.

3.2 Mechanical Completion

Mechanical Completion is defined as that point in the project when work to install, erect

and fit out the facilities has been completed, and that fitting out work has been tested.

Eg. Electric cables will have been installed, terminated, continuity and insulation

resistance tested but not energised. Motors will similarly have been checked out but not

run.

Checks and tests must be carried out during construction or when systems or a constituent

part of them are mechanically completed to ensure that the equipment and individual

components are installed in accordance with design requirements, suppliers' instructions,

technical codes and accident prevention codes and that there is no obvious damage orbreakage.

Mechanical equipment will be installed, aligned and fitted with any temporary devices

(strainers, etc.) required for commissioning. Initial fill of lubricants, etc., will be made.

Mechanical completion will be done on a methodical system by system basis, and checks

will be documented and compiled in a similar manner.

In the case of areas with potentially explosive atmospheres, checks must be carried out to

ensure that the whole system and individual components are installed in compliance with

appropriate codes.

More particularly, checks and tests listed below must be carried out.In the case of parts of systems or materials which are not indicated below, checks and

tests must be carried out by analogy with those of materials indicated and in accordance

with the supplier's instructions.

3.3 Pre-commissioning

Pre-commissioning is defined as the activities following Mechanical Completion carried

out to facilitate safe and efficient commissioning of a system.

Eg. Electrical switchgear relays will be tested and settings verified. Motors will be run for

30 minutes without load (uncoupled). Cables will be energised as required.


6/59



Sheet 6 di 59

Mechanical equipment will be prepared for operation by testing and running auxiliaries,

by checking trips and other functions. Seal oil and lube oil systems will be flushed.

These checks and tests must be carried out during construction or on completion and, in

any case, before commissioning in order to:

a) determine any abnormalities that may have arisen during installation;

b) ensure the efficiency of systems and circuits;

c) ensure that components operate under safe conditions.

5. CHECK AND TEST RESULTS

5.1 Documentation

Results of tests mentioned in paragraph 3.1 need not be recorded.

Results of checks and tests mentioned in paragraphs 3.2 and 3.3 must be recorded on

appropriate documents which must be attached to this PROGRAM so as to have complete

and exhaustive file on the subject.

For further information see the following chapter 8.

6. MECHANICAL COMPLETION REQUIREMENTS

6.1 General

The main scope of Mechanical Completion inspections and tests is to ensure conformity

with the project specifications and drawings and to prove that all equipment and materials

are suited to the duties they are intended to perform.

This procedure covers the general responsibilities of the electrical contractor during

checkout of electrical equipment. Specific requirements are given for the following types

of testing:

- General checks

- Grounding system tests

- Insulation resistance tests

- Protective relay system tests

- Load tests

- Noise tests

- Temperature tests

- Vibration tests (where appropriate)

- Illumination level tests

- DC system tests

- Navigation Aids Tests

All work shall be executed in strict accordance with project specifications and the

approved drawings. The written approval of the COMPANY is required for any

deviations.

6.2 Conduct of Tests

a) The Mechanical Completion program shall demonstrate the proper installation of the

complete electrical system.

b) Checkout tests shall be witnessed by the COMPANY as required.

c) Checkout tests may be conducted concurrently with Pre-commissioning tests.

d) Complete dossier shall be submitted to the COMPANY at completion of Mechanical

Completion.


9/59



Sheet 9 di 59

e) After the Mechanical Completion program has been completed and accepted by the

Company, the Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining the equipment in a safeand protected conditions. All covers, doors and access plates shall be properly

fastened. All wiring shall be completed..

f) It should be noted that Mechanical Completion work may be carried out on adjacent

equipment to live installations. The safety precautions listed must be observed.

6.3 Safety

a) General Safety Precautions

The consequences of shock or burn from electrical systems are serious. Work onelectrical equipment shall, therefore, be carried out only when the equipment is de-

energised, and by qualified personnel, and who fully understand the electrical system

of the project.

One-line diagrams shall be available at all times. All feeding equipment and circuits

shall be tagged-out and locked-out. The test/check operatives own key or lock shall

form part of the lock-out procedure.

All equipment such as bus bars, circuit breakers, and motor shall be properly grounded

as appropriate before any testing or other work is initiated.

b) Equipment Isolation

All equipment shall be physically disconnected from its power source to prevent

accidental injury to personnel resulting from inadvertent re-energisation. Equipment

isolation is necessary to ensure that voltages applied to the equipment under test are

not allowed to feed-back into power transformers, generators and associated upstream

synchronising and control circuits. The consequences of back-feeding voltages include

danger to personnel and damage to equipment.

c) Medium-Voltage Testing

While any medium-voltage testing is being conducted shall be ensured that the test

area is properly guarded to prevent unauthorised entry and that DANGER notices are

posted adjacent to, and at all access ways to the test area during the period of the test.

All cables must be discharged both before and after applying any test voltage. Any

associated cables not being tested shall be grounded during the test, e.g., other phase

conductors of a three-phase circuit.

Temporary conductors used for test purposes shall not be sized less than the rating of

the circuit under test.

Caution notices shall be posted adjacent to, and at all access ways to the test area.
