Factory and site acceptance testing

Testing the proper IED operation is carried out at different occasions, for example:
• Acceptance testing
• Commissioning testing
• Maintenance testing
This manual describes the workflow and the steps to carry out the commissioning testing.
Factory acceptance testing (FAT) is typically done to verify that the IED and its corresponding
configuration meet the requirements of the utility or industry. This test is the most complex and in depth,
as it is done to familiarize the user with a new product or to verify a new configuration. The complexity of
this testing depends on several factors, such as:
• New IED type
• New configuration
• Modified configuration
Site acceptance testing (SAT or commissioning testing) is typically done to verify that the installed IED is
correctly set and connected to the power system. SAT requires that the acceptance testing has been
performed and that the application configuration is verified.
Maintenance testing is a periodic verification that the IED is healthy and has correct settings, depending
on changes in the power system. There are also other types of maintenance testing.
