16 Commissioning
16.1 Reminder
Prior to shipping, FLUOKIT M24+
Functional Units are mechanically
and electrically tested.
If the equipment has been stored in
a damp location, it is recommended
that the room be heated and the
heating elements be energised for
a period of 24 hours prior to instal-
lation of the switchboard.
Also check the leaktight sealing in
the room and the cable troughs.
16.2 Inventory of tools and accessories on completion of work
Recover, verify and tidy away all
assembly tools and objects not
required in the switchboard.
Return the Functional Unit’s and
Circuit Breakers’ operating acces-
sories to their respective storage
positions.
Attach the M24+ technical instruc-
tion manual in a visible location
within the room.
16.3 Pre−commissioning information
Respect the General Safety Ins-
tructions booklet for Electrical
Applications and the particular
regulations for the network concer-
ned with regard to locking−out pro-
cedures.
Record the serial numbers and
identifying marks on equipment and
switchgear while they are accessi-
ble. Tests and inspections have
already been carried out in the fac-
tory.
Refer to the drawings and diagrams
supplied with the equipment. They
describe the functionalities
employed to carry out the level of
operation required.
16.4 Final checks before commissioning
Visual inspection Date Remarks Signature
− Ensure there are no foreign bodies inside the switchboard
− Check the external appearance (for absence of blows, scrat-
ches on the paint): carry out touch−ups if necessary.
− Check the conformity with the Protection Index (leaktightness of
the Functional Units, various blanking panels, etc.)
"Mechanical" checks Date Remarks Signature
− Operating and interlocking tests on the access doors and remo-
vable panels.
− Key−locked system tests.
− Inspection of mechanical tightening torques, (electrical jointing,
power and earthing circuits, etc.).
Handling operations carried out on the switchgear:
− Closing and opening the load break switches and earthing
switches,
− Arming, closing and tripping the circuit breakers.
Inspections and tests Date Remarks Signature
Dielectric tests (at 80% of the test value)
− Whilst taking all necessary precautions, carry out a dielectric
test on the HV equipment and LV cabling.
NB: These tests must be carried out prior to electrical testing.
Electrical tests
− Check the continuity of the earthing circuit.
− Check the connections on the LV links.
− Test the correct functioning of the LV switchgear.
− Record the relay parameters.
