scope:

Guidance for commissioning of electric power systems on new projects is discussed in this manual. The systems addressed include the main power substation, standby generator, and uninterruptible power supply. The following areas are addressed: general commissioning criteria, commissioning plan, documentation requirements, verification procedures, system functional performance tests, deferred performance tests, corrective measures, acceptance documentation, post commissioning follow up procedures and examples of commissioning

Purpose

The purpose of this publication is to provide guidance to engineering managers/planners for the commissioning of electrical systems at command, control, communications, computer, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) facilities. It specifically addresses different types of electrical power systems, the preparation of commissioning statements of work (SOW), specifications, and examples of commissioning tests that should be included during start-up. Electrical systems commissioning (sometimes referred to as "acceptance testing") on new projects is critical to ascertain that a system is installed correctly and that it will remain in service for its projected life cycle
