Technician hand tools
2 Health & Safety Requirements
All Safety Regulations and requirements as per the
project approved EHSP plan must be imple-
mented and monitored on site at all times by electrical
staff.
Safety induction and training to all involved site staff
will be provided by the main contractor prior
to commencing any activities on site.
Tool box talk will be provided by safety team to
highlight and hazards or safety regulations to be
followed during the installation of the Distribution
Board on site and attendance singing sheet
will be kept.
All Personal on site must wear (PPE) equipment at all
times
Ensure proper barricading to the work area with
Standard safety warning signs to be placed all around,
visible to the public at any point where work on site to
be performed
Traffic Management with proper access to and from
the site during the installation process shall
be maintained until completion of the works
The approved Risk Assessment Sheet must be
implemented during the work course on site to pre-
vent or minimize any identified risks during the
execution of the job on site
3 Installation Sequence of Distribution Board
Upon receiving the Distribution Boards, material
inspection is conducted.
Size of the Distribution Board shall be as per approved
schedule and standards.
Examine the location to receive Distribution Board, for
compliance with requirements for installation
tolerances and clearances and after installation for
periodic service as specified in the construction
drawings.
Prior to moving the Distribution Board to the
appropriate location, check the dimensions of
plastering
Level and the finished floor level to comply with the
requirements of current revision of specification.
Install the empty Panel Box at its position and fix it with
nuts and bolts at their place properly.
Install switchgear panel with its accessories inside the
box as per the manufacturer's written
instructions.
Tighten electrical connectors and terminals according
to manufacturer's torque tightening specifications
values.
Sample or mock up inspection shall be conducted in
case of first DB installation.
The enclosure shall be protected from plastering.
After completion of all electrical installation, remove
dirt, and construction debris, Clean the work location
and site is left in a tidy fashion.
Raise Inspection Request to consultant Engineer,
before the testing of DB's distribution boards.
4 Pre-commissioning of SMDB's
Check units, wires & cable termination and tightness as
per drawing.
Check the Earthing termination of panels
Check the provision for BMS interfaces
Check the load schedule drawings in panels
Check meter connection
Check rating and name plates as per approved drawing.
Check feeder identification labels and panel mounting
devices are provided with labels.
Check bus bar joints connection tightness, where
applicable or filed assembled.
Check incoming & outgoing cables termination and
tightness on both sides.
Check torque of the bolts & mark it with permanent
red marker
Ensure the panel is clean and free from foreign matter.
5 Pre-commissioning of MCC's & Control panels:
Completion of electrical installation including
termination of all cabling and fully documented
panel as per commissioning sheet
Check the provision for BMS interfaces
Check the load schedule drawing in panels
Check the rating and name plates as per approved
drawing
Check feeder identification labels and panels mounting
devices are provided with labels
Check incoming & outgoing cables termination and
tightness on both sides.
Check bus bar joints connection tightness, where
applicable or field assembled
Check the torque of the bolts & mark it with
permanent red marker
Ensure the panel is clean and free from foreign matter
6 Pre-commissioning of FDB's:
Check name plates as per drawing and relevant
specification.
Check MCB's/RCD's/Isolator are as per approved load
schedule and drawing
Check the wiring and cable termination tightness
Check grounding of DB
Ensure DB load schedule is available inside the DB
7 Visual Inspection of Distribution Board
All insulator and insulation material are physically
inspected and are clean and free from damage
Ensure that circuit breakers and compartments are as
per drawing and satisfactory
Installed switchgear matches single line drawings,
schematic and equipment schedule
8 Cold Test Procedure
Check the insulation resistance of cables, if not done
prior to termination.
Check the continuity test of cables, if not done prior to
termination
Bolt torque is check within assembly and QC marks are
available
Check the termination tightness of cables and wires.
9 Live Test of Distribution Board
Check the operation of MCCB's and door interlock
Check the operation of MCC/ Control panel and door
interlock
Check earth fault loop impedance test
Verify MCCBs operation by tripping manually
Verify the indication lamps are working properly (MCC)
Verify speed control by overriding to maximum and
minimum speeds (MCC)
Record voltage and Amps, cross check the reading with
panel meters.
10 Quality Control Arrangements (Testing, Inspections & Records)
All Quality control measures and site inspections will be
carried out in accordance with the ap-
proved quality plan
Quality Assurance and Quality control of all aspects of
the installation process must be monitored
at all times by Project Engineer and Site Engineer
Following the installation of the Distribution Board,
electrical engineer will conduct initial inspec-
tion prior to submit a formal request for inspection (IR)
by the client.
Request for inspection shall be prepared by site
engineer and shall be issued to consultant for fur-
ther inspection with Consultant.
