Testing & Quality Control
Routine Test
- Visual Inspection: Checking of dimension, paint shade, wiring quality,
mounting, equipment identification, cable marking, IP class, earthing etc.
- Operational Test of the switching device.
- Functional tests are to be carried out on
outgoing feeders to check their functioning
as per approved circuit drawing.
- Insulation Resistance of the power circuits is checked
with a 1000 Volt megger.
- High Voltage Test busbars at 2.5 kV for 1 minute
(for 415 V Circuits) as per IS.
- Insulation Resistance check on power circuit
after HV Test.
Following are the Type Tests specified in the standard :
- Dielectric Tests.
- Temperature Rise Test.
- Ingress Protection (IP) Test.
- Short Time Current Withstand Test.
- Tests to verify the protection of persons against dangerous electrical effects.
- Tests to verify protection of the equipment against external effects due to weather and atmospheric agents.
- Tests to verify the protection of the equipment against mechanical damage.
- Internal Arc Fault Tests.
