1 General information
This document replaces Technical Instruction document TD-GO-01-ger-xxx-14-024. Its content has
been updated according to the most recent findings.
This information describes how to handle the “Permit to work” form (TD-esc-03-de-xx-16-005).

1.1 When to carry out work

The tasks described in this information must be carried out every time the “Permit to work”
is issued.

1.2 Reason for the instructions

According the EN50110 part 1 after completion of the work safety a permission to start work has to
be granted to the workers.
This means for every work in the MV/HV area a permission to start work needs to be given.
It doesn`t matter if this is an electrical or non- electrical task.
Only the nominated person in control of the work activity is allowed to issue the permission to start
work.
To avoid mix-ups and misunderstandings between the cooperating parties involved on site the
permission to start work has to be handed out in written form.

2 Preparatory work
Before the issuing of the “Permit to work” you must adhere to the procedure instructions “Work
supervision on MV/HV premises” (TD-GO-05-xx-008).
Also the instruction for safe use (BA_bl_1040) “Working in medium-voltage and high-voltage are-
as” must be known and understood.

3 Required work steps

3.1 Issuing of the “Permit to work”

The switching authorisation dispatcher of the Grid Operation department defines the responsibili-
ties during the switching conversation.
In case of a line switching operation the switching authorised technician additionally makes a note
in the “Switching order documentation” form (TD-esc-03-de-xx-16-036).
The responsibilities can be seen then in this document.
If the decision during the conversation has been made, that the ENERCON employee who is carry-
ing out the switching operations is responsible for the work activity, then he has to give the permis-
sion to start work.
This is generally the case if for the work safety only a switching off procedure of the MV transform-
er is necessary.
When line switching operation is required, it’s possible that the responsibility for the work activity
e.g. lies on the customer side.
The permission to start work has to be documented in the “Permit to work” form
(TD-esc-03-de-xx-16-037).
The document number from the header of the form has to be provided to the Grid Operation coor-
dinator during the switching conversation, because it has to be entered in the database.
After the document has been filled out and signed by both, the worker as well as the person grant-
ing the permission, the worker has to get the duplicate of the form.
The nominated person in control of the work activity keeps the original paper.

 Technical information
Handling Permit to work
as per EN 50110 Part 1 fpr MV/HV systems

The “Permit to work” form (TD-esc-03-de-xx-16-037) is allowed to use only if the

switching authorised ENERCON employee is the nominated person in control of the work
activity.

After finishing the task the “Permit to work” has to be returned to the nominated person in control of
the work activity in writing.
If there is no chance that the person who has issued the “Permit to work” is receiving back this
permission, he has to deposit this form at a suitable place.
The switching authorised technician who takes over the responsibility and will be the nominated
person in control of the work activity then, has therefore the possibility to get back the permission
on the original document.
This measure avoids misunderstandings and mix-ups during the switching on procedure.
