1. Scope of Work
1.1 Introduction
Site Acceptance Tests (SAT) are conducted at our Site with the presence of the client,
contractors, consultants and owner’s representatives to verify that the panels are qualified
for delivery.
During the SAT process, all comments/findings will be recorded at the last section of this
report. The panels will be rectified accordingly before delivery to site.
Subsequently these recorded SAT reports will be submitted as part of the Operation and
Maintenance Manual.
After the SAT and given approval for delivery by concerned parties, the panels will be
wrapped and prepared for delivery.
i. Visual Inspection
ii. Insulation Resistance Test (Pre-Dielectric)
iii. Dielectric Test
iv. Insulation Resistance Test (Post-Dielectric)
2. Safety Measures
For safety reasons, the following mandatory practices have to be observed and followed
throughout the SAT:
• In the event that the SAT is not conducted in the restricted SAT room, safety
barriers will be erected around the area where SAT is going to carry out or
conduct in the restricted SAT room
• Danger signage will be prominently put up to warn passer-by of the on-going
process
• Red / Orange blinker light will be flashing when the panel is “Live”
• It is highly reminded that during high voltage injection testing process, all should
refrain from touch any part of the panel
• Fire extinguisher and first aid box must be easily accessible
3. SAT Procedures
The following procedures are applicable to all panels and will be recorded in the Test
Content and Check List Form under Section 4 of this document.
• Torque Wrench
• Multi-meter
• Measuring Tape
• Torch Light
• Ensure the availability of incoming and outgoing cables entry and termination
• Ensure bolts and nuts are properly tightened with red marking
• Ensure that the bus-bars, cables and controls are properly identified
• Ensure that the features and functions of the panels are up to the design
requirements
• Ensure that the quality and workmanship of the panels are of satisfactory levels
• Ensure that all metal doors can be easily opened and closed
• Cleanliness of the panel
After inspecting the above mentioned, the toolbox is checked to ensure that all the tools are
properly kept in place.
This Megger tests the integrity of the insulation between conductors that run parallel and do
not physically meet or connect. By applying a high stabilized DC voltage across two these two
conductors this will determine the integrity of the insulation of the busbars and cables within
the panel. The values recorded are in Mega ohms.
3.2.2.1 Check that the necessary tools for the test are in the toolbox.
3.2.2.2 Ensure all the breakers are in the close position and the incoming circuit
breaker is also closed (defeat interlock or bridge).
3.2.2.4 For Devices with auxiliary supply intake without any fuse protection. Live and
Neutral wires will be removed.
3.2.2.5 Take measurement for phase to earth, neutral to earth and phase to phase.
3.2.2.6 Clamp the Earth lead of the insulation tester to the earth bar and the other
lead to the Line 1 phase busbar. Switch on the insulation test. Once the
indicator value stabilizes, the value of the insulation resistance will be recorded
in the Insulation and High Voltage Test Form under Section 5 of this
document.
3.2.2.7 As per CP 5, the acceptable value of insulation resistance is >1.0 MΩ for site
acceptance. However, a more stringent standard of >10 MΩ applies as per on
SAT standards.
3.2.2.8 Ensure that all the tools are returned to the toolbox.
Dielectric strength test on switchgear ensures the integrity of the equipment insulation is
reliable and safe before putting it into service or real operation. This is done by applying high
voltage over a specific time frame to the panel under test. The insulation of the equipment is
deemed satisfactory if there is no disruptive breakdown during the test.
This High Voltage Injection Test is not recommended to perform at site as it may cause
severe damages to other equipment and cause dangers to individuals, if the panel tested is
not properly isolated.
3.3.2.3 As shown from the above diagram, 2.5KVAC voltage is applied across L1
Phase and the rest of the phases (L2-L3-N-E) shorted for 1 minute. The
threshold of the High Voltage tester is set at 20mA.
3.3.2.4 Record the leakage current result into the Insulation and High Voltage Test
Form under Section 5 of this document.
3.3.2.5 Repeat the same procedure for L2, L3 and Neutral and the result is similarly
recorded.
3.3.2.6 If the leakage is more than 20mA, the test set will terminate the process by
triggering an alarm. This indicates there is a failure on the insulation due to
flash over or punctured wires which call for an immediate rectification before
the test can be re-started.
3.3.2.7 Such failure may also be due to moisture, grease or foreign conductive
material around the busbars supports.
After completion of the High Voltage Injection Test, repeat the Insulation Test measurement
values as mentioned in 3.2.2.1 to 3.2.2.8. The recorded value should be above 10MΩ.
Ensure that all the tools are returned to the toolbox after completion of the test.
1.5 Panel doors with wiring spirals bands arrangement & clearances.
2.1 Ease of opening and closing of all doors and ensure the rubber gaskets are intact.
2.3 Repeat manually ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ by all functioning units handles.
Bus-bar to bus-bar joints & bus-bar to breakers connecting bolts and nuts are in
2.4
accordance to Torque Value Specification and marked with red paint.
2.5 Ensure cable lugs size are properly used and tightly crimped.
Provision of termination blocks and fastening nuts at incoming and outgoing of
2.6
the functional units if necessary.
2.7 Provision of bus-bars holes at the end of the main bus-bars for future extension.
2.8 Provision of bus-bars holes at the end of the main bus-bars for future extension.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This document covers the procedure to be followed for the installation of the Electric Heat Tracing
System for P/O 818426. The purpose of this document is to set forth the various installation activities in
such a way as to comply to BARTEC’s recommendation.
2.1.1 Installation shall be per requirements of the latest issue of the following standards and codes:
2.2.1 Check the cable to make sure the proper type has been received. All cables are printed
on the outer jacket with a part number. (Part number should be PSB 26, HSB 45 etc)
2.2.3 Conduct an initial insulation resistance test on each reel of heating cable, prior to
installation (see EHT Test Form).
CAUTION: Do not connect power to the heating cable while it is on the reel or in shipping carton.
2.2.4 Heating cable and accessories should be stored in a clean and dry environment.
2.3.1 Make sure that all piping and equipment to be heat traced is completely installed, tested
and released.
2.3.2 Equipment surfaces should be reasonably clean. Any loose scale, oil or rust should be
removed.
