Considerations for The MV Switchgear Testing and Commissioning
To make sure that the switchgear equipment is installed, configured, tested, and ready to be placed into service, MV switchgear testing and commissioning are performed. Protection relays must be properly commissioned to protect the electrical system from failures and overloads. Protection relays are a crucial part of MV switchgear equipment. Pilot wire commissioning is a procedure used to confirm the proper setup, configuration, and operation of pilot wires, sometimes referred to as interposing wires or interlock wires, which are used to connect protective relays in power system protection schemes. Some of the main goals of MV switchgear testing and commissioning include the following: Verification of equipment installation: MV switchgear testing and commissioning include making sure that all connections are tight and secure and that the equipment has been installed correctly. This makes it more likely that the machinery w...
