✓ Following are the tests which were performed in LT Panel PDI:
Visual & Mechanical Checks:
● Check switchgear & all the components for any physical damage / defects.
● Check nameplate of panel with the actual/Approved design.
● Inspect enclosure’s for proper alignment, foundation and grounding.
● Inspect all covers, panel sections & doors for fixing along with painting.
● Check for proper alignment of primary and secondary contacts.
● Check components of the panel with the actual designs & BOM.
● Check for the Size of Busbar & verify Current carrying capacity.
● Check for operation of all mechanical interlocks.
● Check for tightness of all the bolted connections.
● Check for phasing connection of bus bar with the drawings.
● Perform mechanical check and visual inspection for breaker / Contractor as

per section.
● Perform mechanical check and visual inspection for instrument transformers

(CT’s) as per section.
● Perform mechanical check and visual inspection on all disconnect /

grounding switches as per section.
● Dimensional checks of Panel, Bus bars & Phase to Phase & Phase to ground
clearances.
● Check for Galvanizing thickness of panel as per standards & designs.

Insulation Resistance Test

The insulation resistance test is a DC evaluation test of the insulation and gives
a reliable indication of the presence of moisture, contamination or breakdown in
the insulation. This test also establishes a benchmark for future comparative tests.
It includes panel enclosure, busbar, CT and circuit breaker. The following

precautions should be taken care, before starting the testing.
● A visual inspection to ensure the surface dust and moisture removal/ clear from
the component under test.
● Make sure the section is isolated from other joined system, which may feed to
other sections or circuits which aren’t 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 below:
Rated voltage Test Voltage
100-1000V AC/DC 1000V DC
>1000 to <5000V AC 2500V DC
> 5000V AC 5000V DC
QA department

High Voltage Test

● To determine the equipment is in proper condition to put in service, as it was
designed and to predict the healthy status or if deterioration is underway which
can shorten.
● To conduct the test all connections to the earth circuit should be removed.
● Furthermore, electronic equipment for control/ signal/ electronic instrument or

DC control equipment which are included in the control circuit, shall be
disconnected or removed during the test.
Voltage to be applied=2xOperating Vol., + 1KV (For 60 sec)
● IR Test after HV:
• Same must be repeated after the HV Test to the LT panel

• To check break down’s in the Insulation due to HV test.
✓ Functional Checks of Panel:

• Verify all the Connections & Terminations
• Check for Functional tests by using Indicational lamps
