1. Scope of Works

Scope of Activities

This scope defines the minimum standards to be adopted when installing Electrical
Distribution Boards is installed in surfaced concrete/brick wall according to
construction co-ordination drawings. A distribution board divides the electrical mains
feed into various circuits, providing a fuse or circuit breaker for each circuit. They
usually include a main switch, and often one or more Residual-current devices
(RCD) or Residual Current Breakers with over current protection (RCBO)

Site Procedure
Site mobilization shall be done with real time monitoring the conditions & progress of
builder works. Before commencement of the work, carry out examination of the
physical condition of the area. Photographs should be taken where necessary, prior
to commencement and during works.

a. Factory visit and testing to be conducted before shipment to site.
b. Engineer in-charge shall check to ensure that the equipment, instruments,
bus bar size etc., complies with specification and drawings.
c. Engineer shall check to ensure that the switch room architectural finishing
work is completed and any physical obstruction during the delivery MDB/DB.
d. Ensure that the MDB/DB design/equipment provided all are fully comply with
the specification.
e. Supplier shall deliver MDB/DB to site and arrange it in the final position as per
shop drawings.
f. Handle the MDB/DB with care to avoid damage to components, frame and
finish.
g. Verify the handling equipment capacity is sufficient for MDB/DB weight.
h. When the MDB/DB is received, unpack it sufficiently to inspect it for
concealed damage to determine that the shipment is complete and correct.
i. If the MDB/DB is to be stored prior to installation, replace the packing for
protection during that period. When conditions permit, leave the packing intact
until MDB/DB or sections are at their final installation location.
j. Protect the equipment against the dust and debris during construction period.
k. A forklift truck or pallet may offer a more convenient method of handling the
MDB/DB to shift from one location to other.

a. Site survey of the proposed MDB and DB based on approved CSD by
foreman / sub-contractor together with Engineer.
b. Installation must be carried out based on approved shop drawings & samples
by foreman / sub-contractor.
c. Install the MDB/DB in its final position, progressively leveling each section
and bolting the frames together if they are separated.
d. Mark the exact position of the distribution board using respective template.
e. Drill the anchor location and install the distribution board.
f. Tightened all bolted connection in accordance with the manufacturer torque
specifications.
g. Fix all the metering equipment in the distribution board.
h. Name or label all sub-switch boards and distribution boards.
i. After installation of distribution board, Engineer-in-charge shall check the
complete works and complete the Inspection checklist for Electrical

1.3 Testing and commissioning


Steps to be taken before energizing the MDB/DB.
a. Qualified personnel should be present when the equipment is
energized for the first time.
b. Tighten all accessible electrical connection to the manufacturer's
torque specification.
c. Remove all blocks or other temporary holding means used for
shipment from all component devices and the DB interior.
d. Check the integrity of all bus mounting means.

e. Check the enclosure to see that it is not been damaged in a such a


manner as to reduce electrical spacing.
f. Manually exercise all switches, circuit breakers, and other operating
mechanism to make certain that they operate freely.
g. Conduct and electrical insulation resistance test to ensure that the
main distribution board is free from short circuits and grounds.
h. Check electrical relays, meters, and instrumentation to determine that
the connections are made properly and that the devices function
properly.
i. With all load disconnected, electrically exercise all electrical operated
switches, circuit breakers, and other mechanism to determine that the
devices operate properly.
j. The equipment should be energized in sequence by starting at the
source end of the system and working towards the load end.
k. After all the main, feeder, and branch circuit devices have been closed,
loads such as lighting circuits, contactors, heaters and motors turned
ON.
