3. MODIFICATION OF EXISTING LV MCC

a. Apply and obtain permit to work. Ensure all the safety requirements are fulfilled.
b. Conduct a safety pre-job briefing at site and identify the location to do the electrical and instrument
installation work.
c. LV MCC switching works can only be done by competent person and shall inform owner before the works
start.
d. LOTO procedure to be applied for all the circuit breaker during the shutdown.
e. Live panel shall be barricaded during the LV MCC modification and installation works.
f. LV MCC panel to be opened and bus bar to be measured to ensure that it is fully de-energized and the
voltage reading obtained must be zero volt (0V). 
g. The dummy / existing panels to be removed from the LV MCC by uncouple the busbar and loosen all the
bolt and nut. 
h. New panel to be installed and aligned property before the busbar is coupled and the bolt and nut are
tightened.
i. A throughout inspection to be carried out to determine that there is no foreign matter such tools left in the
panel during the installation works and all the connections to be checked for tightness.
j. Particular attention will be given to the busbar compartment to ensure that it is free of debris, dust and
moisture. 
k. All components of the panel such as MCCB, MCB, Relays, Fuses, Meters, CTs, Contactor, and Terminals
shall be checked for correct rating and size.
l. All breakers (incoming/outgoing) shall be in OFF position.
m. SAT or testing works to be carried and the inspection form to be signed off by competent person and
owner. 
n. All the panel’s door will be closed and the LV MCC is ready for energize. 

4. CABLE INSTALLATION

Actual types and sizes of cables are as specified in cable schedule, drawings and specifications. Contractor shall
check and verify all cable sizing and shall note the following:
a. Bending radius of cables shall not be less than that recommended by cable manufacturers.
b. All cables shall be megger tested and continuity tested before termination.
c. Cable rollers shall be provided at sufficient spacing and on every corner.
d. Joints in power and control cables are not allowed, unless the total length exceeds that on a single
drum. Owner must be consulted if joints are necessary and these joints shall be carried out using Heat
 Shrinkable terminating kits by competent personnel. The terminating kits shall be provided by the
contractor.
e. For electrical and instrument cable, physical segregation is required to avoid any signal interference.
Electrical and instruments cables will be laid separately.
f. All cables coming out from the ground shall be provided with a mechanical kick pipe protection
minimum of 150mm from the ground level.

5. CABLE GLANDING AND TERMINATION

a. This section covers the basic material and workmanship needed in the terminating of power cables by
contractor. Termination shall be made as per cable manufacturer’s recommendations.
b. All cables shall be terminated using the specified cable glands which is Contractor scope of supply.
Installation of cable gland shall be in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations. Effective earth
continuity shall be ensured between cable armour/braid and the gland plate. Accessories to maintain IP
rating, hazardous areas classification shall be provided as appropriate by Contractor.
c. Special attention will be given to the following:
- All cables will be individually marked at the termination points with PVC.
- Cable screens will be connected in such a way that the screening is earthed only at the
intended location, and that multiple earthing does not occur.
- Cable glands will be of the correct size to match the appropriate cable.
- Ensure there is no amour exposed after glanding.

6. MISCELLANEOUS

a. Any galvanized material damaged by contractor during installation activities shall be repaired by contractor
with an organic zinc epoxy primer.
b. Any paint touch-up of electrical equipment required as a result of installation shall be touch up with
manufacturer’s provided paint.
c. It is the contractor’s responsibility to check if the locations of lighting fixtures, etc., on drawings are
correct. It may be that certain components have to be relocated due to piping or other disturbances. All
changes are to be documented and owner permission obtained.
d. Color coding for phase, neutral and ground conductors will be:
 L1, L2 and L3 :  Red, Yellow and Blue.
 Neutral :  Black (Phasing tape is permissible)
 Ground :  Green

7. TESTING AND COMMISSIONING

a. Pre-test check - The contractor and owner shall check each E&I installation against the drawings, E&I
specification and standards. Should discrepancies be established between the installation, drawings and
specification, they shall be bought to the attention of the owner for resolution.
b. All tests that are necessary to retain the manufacturer’s guarantee shall be conducted in accordance with
instructions provided by the manufacturer. All other test shall be applied in accordance with the instruction
specified herein or the Project Specification.
c. All test conducted shall be recorded on appropriate test sheets and a log maintained.
d. Recorded data shall include, but not limited to the following:
 Date of Test
 Identification of Equipment Tested
 Type of Test Applied
 Test Equipment Used
 Test Results
e. All tests shall be witnessed when required. Upon satisfactory completion of each test and upon analysis of
data obtained, the contractor engineer shall sign off test sheets and obtain owner signature for final
acceptance.
f. Electrical testing and conformation must be done in accordance with the Inspection & Test Plan for
Electrical Works.
g. Instrument testing and conformation must be done in accordance with the Inspection & Test Plan for
Instrumentation Works.
