Introduction

General information
The commissioning and testing guide provides
information about commissioning and test
activities on the ANSI MV metal-clad digital
switchgear solutions by providing details about
their main components and proven testing
methods. This guide is intended to be a
supplement to the Installation, Operation and
Maintenance Manual (IOMM) for the specific
product lines: Advance MV SG, Advance 27 MV SG,
SafeGear MV SG, SafeGear HD MV SG and
ReliaGear ND MV SG.
This guide does not cover the testing and
commissioning of the SwitchgearMD switchgear
monitoring solution. SwitchgearMD is used to
monitor bus temperature, humidity and partial
discharge activity within the switchgear.
This guide also provides basic guidance on
setting up ABB relays and Moxa ethernet switches
and equivalent switches, as well as testing
current and voltage sensors. It is not intended to
replace or supersede the detailed instructions
provided for those, or any other components
used within the switchgear. Users should consult
with the specific User's Manuals and/or
Installation Manuals for the respective
components used in their switchgear project for
all details regarding testing and commissioning.
Photos of relay screens used in this guide may
differ from actual relays used. These variations
should not be significant enough to invalidate the
intent of the illustrations.
Testing and measurement devices shown in this
guide are not the only devices that can be used.
Performance criteria of the testing and
measuring devices are included so users can
choose alternative devices if desired.
Intended users
This guide is intended to be used by protection
relay, test and service engineers. The protection
relay engineer needs to have a thorough
knowledge of protection systems, protection
equipment, protection functions, configured
functional logic in the protection relays and IEC
61850 engineering. The test and service
engineers are expected to be familiar with the
use of electronic equipment and testing medium
voltage switchgear.
