1- PURPOSE

The purpose of method statement is to explain the scope of work for each activity and on this
method statement we are elaborating live electrical testing. Live testing is then performed on
the circuits once the results of the dead tests have been recorded as satisfactory.
It aims to ensure the integrity of electrical appliances and cables in sites and the safety of
personnel who use them,
Electrical live testing can be dangers and should only be carried out by the qualified
professional team with the relevant equipment.

2- SCOPE OF WORK

The scope of this document is to describe the methodology for live electrical testing in order to ensure
That our electrical installations are safe in any failure and not harmful for human. (Always never
perform any work on live circuit either testing because it is very dangers). This method statement is
aimed at people who manage or carry out electrical testing, and gives guidance on controlling risks
and preventing or reducing danger arising from these activities. All provisions of the specifications
and other contract documents shall continue to apply. Where there is a conflict between this method
statement and the contract documents, the contract documents shall prevail and the construction
manager will have final authority

There are four types of tests.

1- Earth fault Impedance test

2- RCD tripping time test.
3- RCD tripping current test.
4- Phase sequence test.

7 – PREPERATION

 First identify the circuit where you perform test and check all rout according to drawing.

 Mark on results sheets “Supply to distribution board is from” and make sure over current device is
active.
 Complete a risk assessment and then take all control measure before test.
 Never do testing alone on live equipment or installations. A Safety Observer must be present
to observe the testing. Most of the technical staff are competent persons and are trained.
 Always use suitable equipment for test
 Consider the need for Personal Protective Equipment, including rubber gloves, suitable
clothing and rubber isolating mat when testing with equipment and switchboards, and only
use insulated tools and fiberglass ladders labeled.
 Never leave any electrical panel, switchboard or wiring open or without the protection of a
physical barrier
 Do not wear any metallic jewellery, rings etc. while performing electrical work
 Do the work very carefully - haste can be hazardous
5|P age
 Assume all exposed conductors are live
 Are aware of the voltage to earth of all exposed conductors

7.1-EARTH FAULT IMPEDANCE TEST.

 Arrange the test device as below.
.

 To prevent tripping RCD in the circuit always use NO TRIP position for loop measurement.

 Turn the rotary switch to the ( Z1 no trip) position.

 Connect all three leads to the L,PE, and N(Red, green and blue) terminal to the tester.

 PressF1 to select L-PE.

6|P age
  Before test use the zero adapters to zero the test leads or the main cord. We can see zero screen as
below

 Press and release TEST button ant wait for the test to complete. The upper display shoes loop impedance.
 This test will take several second to complete. If the main is disconnected while the test is active the test
automatically terminates.

7.2-RCD TRIPPING TIME TEST.

 Arrange the test device as below.

 Plug the tester leads into the outlet.

 Turn the rotary switch to the T position.
 Press F1 to select the RCD current rating.30 mA.
 Press F2 to auto mode.
 Press F3 to select the RCD test current waveform.
 Press and release TEST.
7|P age
 The tester supply1/2 x the rated RCD current for 310 or 510 ms.
 If RCD trips, the test terminates.
 Rest the RCD.
 The tester reverses phases and repeats the 1x test .the RCD should trip and test result appear on
screen.
 Reset the RCD.
 The tester reverses phases and repeats the 5x test. the RCD should trip and test result appear on
screen.
 Reset the RCD and test is completed you can see result on screen as below.

7.3-RCD TRIPPING CURRENT TEST

 Turn the rotary switch to I N position.
 Press F1 to select RCD current rating.
 Press F3 to select RCD test current waveform.
 Press F4 to select the test current phase.
 Press and release TEST. Wait for test to complete.
 The primary upper display show RCD tripping current as below

8|P age
 7.4-PHASE SEQUENCE TEST

 Make the tester connection as below.

 Turn the rotary switch to the Position.

 The primary upper display show.
o 123 for correct phase sequence.
o 321 for reversed phase sequence.
o Dashes (---) instead of numbers if insufficient voltage is sensed.

9-HEALTH &SAFETY RISKS and CONTROLS

9.1 - Foreseeable Hazards

In order to minimize potential hazards on site, the following actions should be taken by management prior to
Lighting & small power testing on site.
 We aware of that nobody touch the cable when insulation test is being held.

9.2 - Precautions
According to the safety regulations and Quantity Control Procedures following conditions are provided.
 All equipment and tools are checked for they are free of errors and fully operational
 All equipment and tools with defects are to be removed from the working area
 All defects with electric and electrical equipment will be corrected
