1.0 PURPOSE
This method statement outlines the procedure for the safe and efficient
installation and termination of electric panels and distribution boxes.
The objective is to ensure that the installation is carried out in
compliance with relevant safety regulations and industry standards,
minimizing the risk of accidents or damage to property.

2.0 SCOPE
This method statement applies to the installation and termination of electric panels and
distribution boxes in commercial, residential, or industrial buildings. It covers the process
from mounting the panels to connecting and terminating the electrical circuits.
3.0 EQUIPMENT/ MATERIALS:
The following equipment and materials will be required:
 Electric panels and distribution boxes
 Mounting brackets or hardware
 Circuit breakers or fuses
 Copper busbars or terminals
 Cable glands or conduits
 Wiring cables
 Wire connectors
 Screwdrivers, pliers, and other hand tools
 Voltage tester or multimeter
 Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, safety glasses, and safety shoes

4.0 RESPONSIBILITIES:
 The project manager will be responsible for overseeing the installation process and
ensuring compliance with safety standards.
 Qualified electricians or personnel will be responsible for the actual installation,
wiring, and termination of electric panels and distribution boxes.

5.0 PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY MEASURES:

 Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) throughout the installation

process.

 Ensure that all electrical power is switched off before beginning any work.
 Follow proper lockout/ tagout procedures to isolate electrical power.
 Handle and work with electrical panels and distribution boxes with caution, avoiding
contact with live components.
 Follow local electrical codes and regulations to ensure compliance and safety.

6.0 PROCEDURE:

Step 1: Pre-Installation Preparation

 Review the electrical plans and layout to determine the location and type of electric
panels and distribution boxes required.
 Ensure that power to the installation area is turned off at the main electrical panel.
 Inspect the work area for any potential hazards or obstructions and address them
accordingly.
 Gather all necessary materials and equipment required for the installation.
Step 2: Mounting and Wiring

 Select the appropriate location for each electric panel and distribution box as per the
electrical plans.
 Install mounting brackets or hardware securely, following manufacturer instructions
and ensuring proper alignment.
 Run the necessary conduits or cable glands to bring the electrical supply and outgoing
cables into the panel or distribution box.
 Connect the wiring cables to the appropriate terminals or busbars inside the panel or
distribution box, following color-coded or labeled markings.
 Use wire connectors to secure and insulate all connections.
 Verify the electrical connections with a voltage tester or multimeter to ensure there
is no current flow.
Step 3: Circuit Breaker or Fuse Installation

 Install circuit breakers or fuses according to the electrical plans and load requirements.
 Ensure that the circuit breakers or fuses are suitable for the intended electrical load
and provide proper protection.
 Properly position and secure each circuit breaker or fuse in its designated location
within the panel or distribution box.
 Label and identify each circuit breaker or fuse clearly for easy identification and
maintenance.
Step 4: Termination and Testing

 Connect the outgoing cables to their respective circuit breakers or fuses.

 Tighten the cable connections securely using the appropriate terminals or busbars.
 Inspect for any loose connections or signs of damage and address them promptly.
 Restore power to the installation area by turning on the electrical circuit at the main
panel.
 Test each circuit breaker or fuse by switching it on and off to verify proper operation.
 Use a voltage tester or multimeter to check voltage levels and ensure proper
distribution.
 Conduct a final inspection to ensure all panels and distribution boxes are installed
correctly and meet the required standards.
