1.0 INTRODUCTION

Proper commissioning of ACSE / ABTS / TOP Scheme and Function check is an

important issue to prove that new ACSE / ABTS / TOP panels have been properly
shipped and correctly installed. This work instruction highlights the necessary steps
related to proper commissioning of new ACSE / ABTS / TOP panels in HV and EHV
substations.

All ACSE / ABTS / TOP panels must be tested in the factory before delivery to the
site and must be tested by commissioning contractor at site after installation for
processing to begin in the on-site Commissioning and testing phase. Commissioning
tests at site is done to prove that:

 No ACSE / ABTS / TOP panel was subjected to any damage during

transportation.
 Each ACSE / ABTS / TOP panel has been installed correctly.
 Each equipment in ACSE / ABTS / TOP panel is working in coordination with
other equipment, as specified.
 All equipment in ACSE / ABTS / TOP panels are safe for putting into service.
 The ACSE / ABTS / TOP Scheme and Function check is completely correct and
all equipment work as per checked scheme

This Work Instruction has reference to Procedure PR-NG-6460-002 “Project

Commissioning”.

2.0 RESPONSIBLITIES
- Anyone working in testing location during commission stage must follow the safety
requirements as per SEC rules and CSD employees are responsible for applying
safety rules in all places which they working in.
- Project site engineer is responsible for committing the contractor to prepare
testing and commissioning places to be done in proper climate conditions as per
Company policies, procedures and accepted temperatures the relays, devices and
test equipment can be tested or operated within it.
- Any of CSD staff is responsible for testing activities according to approved
specification and design and he shall not start any test for any ACSE / ABTS /
TOP Scheme and Function check until providing the following:

o Approved test forms.

o Signed test formats of all activities which must be completed before ACSE / ABTS
/ TOP Scheme and Function check Factory Tests certificates.
o Updated Approved final settings.
o All relays must be configured.
o Relay manual.
o Approved schematic drawings.
o Protection requirement.
o Test equipment valid calibration certificates.
o Approved Contractor organization chart.
o Contractor staff approved qualification certificates.

- Its responsibility of the commissioning contractors to provide all testing ACSE /

ABTS / TOP Scheme and Function check with its valid calibration certificates that
will maybe require applying the testing / commissioning procedure in proper
manner.
- Its responsibility of the CSD Engineer/Technician to check and witness all
activities required for ACSE / ABTS / TOP Scheme and Function check following
all of this work instruction.
- CSD Engineer/Technician is responsible for recording status of any test for
ACSE / ABTS / TOP Scheme and Function check in its check list and test form as
