Application Areas
This manual is intended to act as a handbook for commissioning works at substation site. The manual deals mainly with main outdoor components and their connections to the secondary systems. It should be noted that this manual is a basic one and any additions or changes to the commissioning scope of works or to the method of working described in the manufacturers' component wise manuals should be checked and considered.
Since the secondary metering and protection devices are under constant development it is difficult to provide any detailed commissioning instruction that would be up to date and cover the complete range of the concerned devices. Therefore it is advisable to rely on the commissioning methods and instructions described by the manufacturer in the component's manual.
The references made to different steps and activities within GP are referring to ABB's internal Group Process Description for Commissioning Process.
Safety Aspects
During the commissioning works several safety hazards are present. It is the duty of the chief commissioning engineer and the site manager to ensure that the commissioning personnel is made aware of the possible dangers and that the necessary action are taken to remove or limit the risks. The commissioning crew has to be also aware which actions to take if something happens i.e. where is the
