Jordan, EdD - Executive DirectorPREFACE The purpose of these specifications is to assure that all tested electrical equipment and systems supplied by either contractor or owner are operational and within applicable standards and manufacturer's tolerances and that equipment and systems are installed in accordance with design specifications. The need for acceptance testing of electrical power systems is very clear to those with extensive startup and/or operating experience. Shipping and installation damage, field and factory wiring errors, manufacturing defects, and systems and components nat in accordance with drawings and specifications are some of the many problems that can be detected by appropriate testing. When these defects are found before startup they can be corrected under warranty and without the safety hazards and possible equipment and consequential damages of Joss of use/production that can occur if discovered after startup or energizing. In addition, test results obtained during acceptance testing are invaluable as base reference data for the periodic testing that is an essential element of an effective maintenance program. It is the intent of this document to list a majority of the field tests availabie for assessing the ‘Suitability for service and reliability of the power distribution system. Certain tests have been assigned an “optional” classification. The following considerations were used in determining the use of the “optional” classification: 1. Did another test listed provide similar information? 2. How did the cost of the test compare to the cost of other tests providing similar information? 3. Haw commonplace was the test procedure? Is it new technology? While acknowledging the above, it is still necessary to make an informed judgment for each Particular system regarding How extensive the testing should be. The approach taken in these specifications is to present a comprehensive series of tests that is applicable to most industrial and larger commercial systems. The guidance of an experienced testing professional should be sought when making decisions such as how extensive testing should be. In smaller systems some of the tests can be deleted. In other cases, a number of the tests indicated as optional should be performed. As a further note, it is important to follaw the recommendations contained in the manufacturer's instruction manuals. Many of the details of a compiete and effective acceptance testing procedure can only be obtained from that source. ‘The Association encourages comment fram users of this document.

Perform operational tests by initiating control devices. @| w INSPECTION AND TEST PROCEDURES 7.46 Motor Control (cont) 1. Motor Starters (cont.) 1. Low-Voltage (cont) 3 Test Values 1. Compare bolted connection resistance to values of similar connections. 2. Bolt-torque levels should be in accordance with Table 10.12 unless otherwise specified by manufacturer. 3. Microhm or millivolt drop values shall not exceed the high levels of the normal range as indicated in the manufacturer's published data. If manufacturer's data is not available, investigate any values which deviate from similar connections by more than 50 percent of the iowest vaiue. 4. Insulation-resistance values shall be in accordance with Table 10.1. 5. Control wiring insulation test resistance should be a minimum of two megohms. 6. Overload trip times shall be in accordance with manufacturer's published data. “Optional @ ATS —1999 14:
