Customer Name:
-
Date:
Step 0 - Preparation
-
Drawings (single line, layout…) available/up to date?
-
Briefing with customer’s person in charge?
-
Correctly rated voltage tester available?
-
Earthing (grounding) equipment available if required?
-
Checked & Signed by SE Person in Charge:
-
Adequate lock out devices and padlocks available?
-
Emergency exit & fire extinguishers available?
-
Emergency numbers posted - first aid, fire brigades, etc?
-
Access to working area restricted with barriers & signs?
-
Is SF6 gas present refer to procedure?
-
Shock and arc flash PPE required for all steps, including opening doors and removing bolted covers?
-
Note* All circuits considered energized until step 6 is complete
-
Switching schedule (sequence of operations) defined?
-
Checked & Signed by SE Person in Charge:
Step 1. Remove Load
-
Shut down the load in the normal way?
-
Local/remote control disconnected?
-
Remove the load Approved by Customer Person in Charge
Step 2. Separation (Dead)
-
All phases/live conductors disconnected? Consider remote re-energisation, fuses removed, feedback from other source: Ring circuits, generators,
-
UPS, batteries, dual fed systems, mesh network, etc?
-
When the isolation point is the utility, is a SE worker present to witness isolation & place their lock on the isolation point?
-
Has the Utility grounded the lines?
Step 3. Securing Isolation (locking in open position)
-
Isolation point must be upstream of the cabinet where the work will take place, work in the same cabinet requires additional precautions (See step 6)
-
Padlocks fitted on all isolation devices (Each worker must place their own lock on each device after step 6 is complete. Group Lock Box can be used)?
-
Tag fitted on each device?
Step 4. Verification of absence of voltage (VAV)
-
Voltage tester rated at what Kv (calibration Voltage tester tested before use)
-
calibration Voltage tester tested before use?
-
Verification of absence of voltage on all conductors in each cabinet opened?
-
Voltage tester tested after use?
-
Customer’s person in charge present?
-
Checked & Signed by SE Person in Charge:
Step 5. Earthing (Grounding) and short-circuiting (Not mandatory below 1000v)
-
Earth cables connected to earth before short-circuiting Conductors? (Must be able to carry maximum fault current)
-
Capacitors discharged?
-
If feedback from other sources possible, at any voltage, earth cables connected before & after work area?
-
Checked & Signed by Customer Person in Charge:
Step 6. Protect adjacent energized circuits
-
Prevent access to adjacent energized circuits (That cannot be de- energized) with voltage rated sheeting?
After even the shortest interruption of the work process (i.e. visit to restroom, lunch, etc), carry out a visual check to ensure all controls are in place – locks, tags, barriers and Earthing (Grounding) and short-circuiting
