1. Inspect the entire assembly, including auxiliary equipment, for any apparent damage or
missing parts.
2. Remove shipping blocks, braces and parts.
3. Inspect for proper bracing, suspension alignment and enclosure ground.
4. Torque the connections as per manufacturer recommendations or per values in P-000.
5. The bus shall be inspected for physical damage and proper connection in accordance
with the single line diagram.
6. Check the location and type of drain plug.
7. Check current rating (cross section) of flexible connectors used at transformer and or
switchgear terminations of metal-enclosed bus.
ELECTRICAL TESTS
1. Measure insulation resistance of each bus run phase to phase and phase to ground for
one (1) minute. Test voltage and minimum acceptable values in accordance with P-000
2. Perform A. C. high potential tests on each bus run phase to phase and phase to ground.
Potential application shall be in accordance with manufacturer's instructions or as
specified in P-000.
3. Perform phase rotation and phase cross voltage tests on each bus tie section energized
by separate sources. Performed tests when bus sections are powered by permanent
source.
4. Measure bus joint resistance.
5. Connect space heaters and check operability (when applicable).
6. Verify operation of heater ammeter and control power switch.
