C. ST1 - Testing For MV SWGR Checklist
C. ST1 - Testing For MV SWGR Checklist
A1 Inspect switchgear and all components for any physical damage / defects.
Inspect enclosures for proper alignment, foundation fixing, and grounding and vermin
A3
entry.
A4 Inspect all covers, panels’ section and doors for paintwork and proper fit.
Check for smooth and proper movement of racking mechanisms, shutter, rollers, rails
A6
and guides.
A11 Perform mechanical check and visual inspection for breaker/ Contactor as per section.
Perform mechanical check and visual inspection for instrument transformers as per
A12
section
Perform mechanical check and visual inspection on all disconnect and grounding
A13
switches as per section.
It includes panel enclosure, busbar, CT & breaker. The following precautions should be
B1
taken care, before starting the testing.
A visual inspection will be made to ensure the surface dust and moisture has been
B2
removed from the component under test.
1 of 5
Ensure the component is isolated from other connected system, which may feed back to
other components or circuits not under test. On testing, voltage shall be applied between
one phase and other phases connected with ground, testing shall be repeated for other
phases as mentioned above. Test voltage limits mentioned in table 4.1.

Functional Testing for MEDIUM VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR - MC Set Panels
Inspection Checklist No.: KAFD CJ2-S2-NP-DAR-JLL-CV-FW-M-G-035_Rev. 00
S/N Acceptance Criteria YES NO N/A Remarks / Comments
C1 This test is to confirm the busbar joints are connected properly and verify the tightness.
The test shall be done with CBs inserted and closed. Measure the contact dc resistance
C2 between panels by injecting 100ADC. This will include busbar joint, CB contact resistance,
CB cluster resistance, and CT primary resistance (if applicable)
Limits:
The obtained results should be similar for all phases for each set of measurement.
C3
Other influencing factors to be considered, like length of the measured path, rating of
the busbar, rating of CB, rating of CT and temperature.
A visual inspection will be made to ensure the surface dust and moisture has been
D1
removed from the component under test.
Ensure the component is isolated from other connected system, which may feed back to
D2
other components or circuits not under test.
A check shall be made to verify the ground for the component under test and test
D3
equipment being connected to system ground.
D5 VT’s & Surge arresters shall be isolated from the equipment under test.
D6 Mark out test area and assure nobody can enter during test.
Busbars should be fully mounted tightened and shields between phases & between
D8
phases and earth should be in place. Moreover, busbar covers should be in place.
D11 Insulation resistance test should be performed before and after commencing the test.
D13 After each test subject under test should be discharged to ground.
