1. TITLE
2. PURPOSE
3. SCOPE
The panel construction shall included installation, inspection and testing panel as construction
drawings and specifications. This construction procedure covers the following:
a. All switchboards, panelboards, and distribution boards installed for the control of light
and power circuits.
b. Battery-charging panels UPS and DC panel.
4. REFERENCES
5. DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURES
A. Erection
1. Inspect all doors, panels, and section for pint, dents, scratches, fit, and
missing hardware in accordance with packing list or manufacturer’s
drawings and published data.
2. Verify that fuse and/or circuit breaker sizes and types correspond to
drawings.
3. Verify that current and potential transformer ratios correspond to drawings,
if necessary.
4. Verify tightness of accessible bolted electrical connections by calibrated
torque wrench method in accordance with manufacturer’s published data.
5. Confirm correct operation and sequencing of electrical and mechanical
interlock systems:
- Attempt closure on locked-open devices. Attempt to open locked-closed
devices.
- Make key exchange with devices operated in off-normal positions
6. Keep clean 6 kV HV panels.
7. Inspect insulators for evidence of physical damage or contaminated
surfaces.
8. Verify correct barrier and shutter installation and operation.
C. Electrical Tests
1. Perform resistance tests through all bus joints with a low-resistance ohm-
meter. Any joints that cannot be directly measured due to permanently
installed insulation wrap shall be indirectly measured from closest
accessible connection.
2. Perform insulation-resistance tests on each bus connection, phase-to-
phase and phase-to-ground.

1. Inspect all doors, panels, and section for pint, dents, scratches, fit, and
missing hardware in accordance with packing list or manufacturer’s
drawings and published data.
2. Motor running protection if necessary:
- Compare overload element rating with motor full-load current
rating to verify correct sizing.
- If power-factor correction capacitors are connected on the load
side of the overload protection, include the effect of the capacitive
reactance in determining appropriate overload element size.
- If motor-running protection is provided by fuses, verify correct
rating considering motor characteristics and power-factor correction
capacitors, if applicable.
3. Verify tightness of accessible bolted electrical connections by calibrated
torque wrench method in accordance with manufacturer’s published data.
4. Measure insulation resistance of each combination starter, phase-to-
phase and phase-to-ground, with the starter contacts closed and the
protective device open. Test voltage shall be in accordance with
manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Test circuit breakers in accordance with perform a contact-resistance
test and insulation-resistance test at 1000 V dc from pole-to-pole and from
each pole-to-ground with breaker closed and across open contacts of
each phase.
6. Inspect insulators for evidence of physical damage or contaminated
surfaces.
7. Perform resistance tests through all bus joints with a low-resistance
ohm-meter. Any joints that cannot be directly measured due to
permanently installed insulation wrap shall be indirectly measured from
closest accessible connection.
8. Test the motor overload relay elements by injecting primary current
through the overload circuit and monitoring trip time of overload elements.
9. Keep clean MCC panel
1. Inspect all doors, panels, and section for pint, dents, scratches, fit, and
missing hardware in accordance with packing list or manufacturer’s
drawings and specifications.
2. Measure insulation resistance between bus-bar and ground is minimum
0.5 Mega-ohm.
3. Verify adequacy of mounting frame, anchorage and clearances.
4. Verify that fuse size and types correspond to drawings.
1. Inspect all doors, panels, and section for pint, dents, scratches, fit, and
missing hardware in accordance with packing list or manufacturer’s
drawings and published data.
2. Motor running protection if necessary:
- Compare overload element rating with motor full-load current
rating to verify correct sizing.

6. MANPOWER
e. All tests be performed with apparatus de-energized except where otherwise specially
required.
f. The testing organization shall have a designated safety representative on the project
to supervise operations with respect to safety.
g. In cases where the panel installation present a fire hazard, one or more of the
following safeguards shall be applied according to the degree of hazard involved
h. Put LOTTO (Lockout-Tag out) to prevent accident which is caused by electric shock if
happen failure to de-energize electrical equipment during testing or inspection.
i. Inspection of all tools/equipment and its calibration certificate prior to used
j. Provision of appropriate barricade and signage
k. Floor/Cable trench opening should be identified and provided with physical barriers
and signage, cover it properly as necessary
l. Ensure proper illumination in the work area
m. Pre-work inspection, identify potential pinch/crush points and discuss with workers
during toolbox meeting.
n. Ensure tools and equipment used only for its intended purpose and according to
proper handling technique or manufacturer recommendation
o. Do not do any drill directly above head, always offset from body position.
p. Do not work on electrical tools or equipment when clothing is wet or any part of body
is in contact with water.
q. Disconnect equipment when not in use, but do not pull cable to disconnect; pull the
plug.
r. Provide additional fire extinguisher at hot work area and fire watch.
