The Role of Electrical Equipment Commissioners
The role of our electrical equipment commissioning team often includes:
Planning the commissioning process of the electrical systems
Reviewing and verifying performance specifications
Field tests for necessary systems such as electrical distribution systems, generators and motors, transformers, switchgear and cables
Identify corrective and preventive maintenance for your electric power distribution system
AC and DC testing of electrical equipment
Complete handover, acceptance and transition to the operations team
The Equipment Commissioning Process
System Design Review
Commissioning of electrical equipment can actually begin in the design phase of the project and continues through to the completion of testing and handover to the operations team. Reviewing designs, sequences of operation, and test requirements allows the commissioning team to accurately identify the test requirements and make sure expectations are clearly defined.
Electrical Acceptance Testing
Part of the commissioning process is acceptance testing where each piece of equipment is thoroughly inspected before energization. Equipment needs to meet system specifications in order to pass acceptance testing and be deemed ready for energization. As the commissioners of the system we will review the drawings for the project to make sure each piece of equipment was installed as per design and manufacturer’s specifications.
Energization & Handover
After the system passes initial testing energization planning begins. Our team of commissioning experts will strategically energize the system to ensure that all equipment is operating at normal capacity. This process is well documented so that the client can review performance, and trust that the system is working as intended. Once complete and approved we begin transitioning the handover of the project to the operations team.
