Start-Up, Commissioning and Testing of Electrical Systems

Equipment readiness for a commercial service is proven by testing all function under different conditions.  “Do not believe, until it is proven” is the key to successful testing and satisfactory operation of electric systems.  Equipment is finally proven when it is energized and testing on load during the start-up.  This workshop covers all aspects of testing in electrical systems, performed during construction or maintenance.
