OFF-LINE MAINTENANCE AND ACCEPTANCE TESTING PROCEDURE FOR AC METAL-
ENCLOSED
AND STATION CLASS SWITCHGEAR > 1 kV TO 36KV
v
Scope This procedure defines the requirements and methods for Acceptance
Testing (ACCTST) and off-line Predictive/ Preventive Maintenance
(OVHAUL) for >1kV to 36kV Metal-Enclosed and Station Class
Switchgear. The intent is to maximize the reliability of this equipment at
minimum cost through the combination of testing equipment upon
installation and employment of a regularly scheduled off-line maintenance
with the ultimate objective of eliminating all unexpected failures.
used for initial acceptance testing. Routine off-line PPM tests are not as
stringent and items marked as supplemental are only to be performed
when there is a suspected problem with the equipment. For example: If
switchgear breaker trips without a protective relay flag indication, then a
MEGGER inspection may be used to troubleshoot the problem. For this
example case, an MOC is not required for performing the supplemental
tests. However, performing additional tests just for the sake of testing or
just because the tests have been traditionally done at a particular site is
not supported by the Electrical Discipline or Global Maintenance
Leadership. An approved MOC from the Switchgear TRL is required
before such supplemental testing is initiated.
Safety Safety is an integral part of all jobs. As such, all applicable Electrical Safe
Work Standards and Isolation of Energy Sources (IOES) criteria shall be
rigidly applied in the execution of the work described in this PPM
specification.
Equipment Needed The following table list the test equipment and other equipment needed to
perform this procedure.

P/PM Schedule The required frequency for P/PM inspections for >1kV to 36kV Metal-
Enclosed and Station Class Switchgear is established via the Condition

Note 1:
• Tightness Verification Related to Acceptance Testing – Intent is to make a ‘one-time’
control wire tightness verification on new switchgear. Tightness inspection should be
completed prior to initial energization of the switchgear.
Electrical Tests Follow the steps below to perform electrical tests on the equipment.
Functional Tests Follow the steps below to perform functional tests on the equipment.
Return to Operation Follow the steps below to return the equipment to operation.
