otherwise in the data sheet.
5.25.1 General
a. Requirements for witnessing type and routine tests should be agreed with the
manufacturer at the enquiry stage.
b. Tests shall be carried out in accordance with this Specification and referenced
external standards, unless otherwise agreed.
c. Manufacturer shall state in his quotation if normal test arrangements are not
adequate, or if he is not capable of carrying out specified tests. Performing
alternative tests shall be approved by ADMA-OPCO before order is awarded.
d. Some or all tests may be witnessed by ADMA-OPCO or the inspector
representing them. The witnessed tests shall be indicated on the data sheets or
accompanying documents.
e. The Manufacturer shall agree with ADMA-OPCO two weeks in advance of
the test dates.
a. For each type and rating of switchgear offered, the manufacturer shall provide
certificates to prove that the design of switchgear has been successfully fully
type-tested in accordance with IEC 60947.
b. Type-test verification of dielectric properties for each individual unit as
detailed in IEC 60439-1 shall be made.
c. Type-tests shall have been undertaken by a recognized testing authority.
Testing authorities should preferably be subject to independent approval and
audit e.g. KEMA and ASTA. However, where manufacturer’s test facilities
are administered as independent organizations and are considered reputable
for the tests being undertaken, then these may also be considered to be
acceptable.
The manufacturer shall provide all the necessary test equipment, which shall have
been calibrated within one year prior to the date of the tests.
The manufacturer shall issue a comprehensive report of the witnessed tests, within
ten working days of the completion of the tests.
a. Type test certificates shall be submitted for all tests performed on the
switchgear. Test summary sheets will not be acceptable.
b. Test certificates are to include values of results of tests and results for any
witnessed tests shall be available for signature on the day of testing.
c. Manufacturer shall provide test reports giving the results of tests carried out
on switchgear and control gear supplied. These reports shall also include
Manufacturer’s type tests and routine/production tests.
The manufacturer shall submit, at least, the following documents after receipt of
the order: -
a. Preliminary single-line diagram(s).
b. Preliminary LOGIC diagrams for the control and protection of all the LV
circuit breakers and contactors.
c. Preliminary schematic diagrams of all the different types of circuits.
d. Preliminary SWGR general arrangement drawings showing main circuits,
main dimensions, front elevations, front panel equipment layouts, floor plans
and shipping sections.
e. Preliminary wiring, termination and interconnection diagrams for LV,
internal (bus wire) and external (or field) circuits.
f. Preliminary cable entry, glanding and securing details.
g. Minimum clearances around the SWGR for ventilation and safety during
operation and maintenance.
h. Total mass of the SWGR and of the individual shipping sections.
i. Copies of TYPE TEST CERTIFICATES for the SWGR and its components.
j. FAT procedure.
k. Inspection & Test plan.
All drawings/documents shall show the relevant purchase order number, item and
the manufacturer’s references, dates and shall be distributed as specified in the
requisition.
The manufacturer shall submit, at least, the following documents after receipt of
the order and before the FAT takes place: -
All drawings/documents shall show the relevant purchase order number, item and
the manufacturer’s references, dates and shall be distributed as specified in the
requisition. Typical drawings/documents are not acceptable.
