Pre-Commissioning, also known as “Pre-functional Testing,” is an essential step in the installation and implementation of Low & High Voltage Electrical Power Systems – this process ensures that all components and cable accessories of the system are functioning properly and safely before the system is put into operation or “Commissioned“.
High voltage systems are critical to the operation of many industries, including utilities, manufacturing, data centres and commercial buildings. These HV systems are responsible for distributing and transmitting electrical power, and any failure or malfunction can have serious consequences, including injury, property damage, and loss of revenue.
Commissioning is a comprehensive process that involves testing and verifying the performance of all components in a high voltage system. This includes electrical and mechanical components, such as transformers, switchgear, protective devices, and control systems. The commissioning team will also verify that the system meets all safety and technical standards, and ensure that it is properly grounded and bonded.
In addition to ensuring the safety and reliability of the system, pre-commissioning can also identify potential issues and improve the overall performance of the system. This can save time and money by preventing costly repairs, mal-operation and downtime in the future.
