kV Distribution Transformer and 415-V Low Voltage Switchboard. This
three-room building normally measures 35' x 15' (10.6m x 4.6m) by
TNB Standard or 39' x 15' (11.9m x 4.6m) according to JKR Standard.

B. Distribution Transformer
1. Insulation Test (P-E, P-S, S-E)
2. Ratio Test (at every tap, 1 to 5)
3. Insulation Test on Primary and Secondary Cables
4. Verify Star-pint Neutral earth point and pit

Once all the test results are produced and verified by the
Consulting Engineer/Designer and all tests have been verified
by the Service Engineer, then only the 11-kV electricity supply
be switched on the incoming Circuit Breaker/LBS.
There are other basic and important requirement such as Danger and
No-Entry signages, 11-Kv and 415-V Switch Boards labelling, Rubber
Mat, CPR Intruction Manual, As-built Diagram, etc. must be installed
before or once the switchboards are energised.
B. Distribution Transformer
1. 11-kV Primary cable termination is a bit doubtful (saddled with
wood)
2. Cable trenches are not properly constructed and covered
3. Secondary cables (415V) are not properly saddled/bracketed to the
side walls of trench;
instead the cables are 'pulling-down' the bus-bar attached to cable
termination flags
4. PVC/PVC green cable used as star-point neutral is not properly
terminated/linked/welded
to the earth electrode at the earth pit;
