2.11.1 Testing
(Cont.)
Rotating Machines
, all motors shall be 'jogged' on agreement with the Engineer, for
direction then run on light load (with overload relays set low) to check for noise and
vibration. Any drain plugs shall be removed to check for condensation, then replaced.
Lighting Levels
, illumination levels shall be measured against specification in the absence
of daylight.
Noise Levels
, will not normally require measuring unless required by the Engineer.
Witnessing
, the Contractor shall give reasonable notice of testing to the Engineer who may
wish to witness same.
Records
, all test results shall be recorded on the schedules accompanying this specification
which shall then be submitted for acceptance with this specification.
2.11.2 Commissioning
Electrical
The installation shall be pre-commissioned by carrying out full functional tests at rated
voltages.
These operations will normally be carried out jointly by the Engineer and the Contractor
will include:-
Prolonged running of rotating machines (on load if possible) to check for smooth operation
and temperature rise. During these tests the Contractor shall check metered currents, where
applicable, and set overload relays and ammeter markers to suit conditions.
Active tests on all circuits to ensure that all components are operating correctly.
Sequence tests on all circuits to prove interlock and alarm features.
If required by the Engineer, the Contractor shall provide qualified assistance on a standby
basis during full plant commissioning under process conditions.
Rates would be agreed in advance, in this event.
