Phase 2 - Pre-energisation Electrical Checks

• Phase 2 De-energised checks are to ensure equipment is safe and ready for energisation.

• Polarity Check - are all active phases wired to the correct terminal & phase?

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Continuity - confirm no continuity through switch when in "off" position

  Safe

  At Risk

  N/A

• Is the Earth Resistance value below 0.5 Ohm?

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Earth resistance value:

• Resistance of the earthing system should be no more than 0.5 ohm. If the result shows discrepancy, consult the designing engineer.

• Is the Insulation Resistance value above 1.0 Mega-Ohm?

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Insulation resistance value:

• Resistance of the earthing system should be no more than 0.5 ohm. If the result shows discrepancy, consult the designing engineer.

Phase 3 - Live Testing

• Use an approved & in-date calibrated RCD testing device, to confirm the RCD trips within limits.

• Has the protecting RCD tripped and passed the test?

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Confirm isolation of circuit breaker isolates device?

  Safe

  At Risk

  N/A

• Isolate circuit breaker. What voltage exists on load-side of breaker?

• Record residual voltages after isolation.

• Confirm isolation of wall switch isolates device?

  Safe

  At Risk

  N/A

• Isolate wall switch. What voltage exists on load-side of switch?

• Record residual voltages after isolation.

• Test the voltage at the end circuit. If three phases, record as ", , "

• Active-Neutral Voltage:

• Is the final voltage within +/- 5% volt drop limits?

  Yes

  No

  N/A

Switchroom Drawing Set

Finalise Audit

• Are there any Danger, Isolation, Hazard or Information tags in the switchboard?

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• If yes, please ensure you take photos of each tag (both sides).

• Are there any other issues that should be noted?

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Ensure that this report is emailed to #######@cqu.edu.au for actioning of any outstanding items.
