Section 3 Starting up3.1 Factory and site acceptance testingTesting the proper IED operation is carried out at different occasions, for example:• Acceptance testing• Commissioning testing• Maintenance testingThis manual describes the workflow and the steps to carry out the commissioningtesting.Factory acceptance testing (FAT) is typically done to verify that the IED andconfiguration meets the requirements by the utility or industry. This test is the mostcomplex and in depth, as it is done to familiarize the user to a new protection or toverify a new configuration. The complexity of this testing depends on several factors.• New IED type• New configuration• Pre-configured• Modified existing configurationSite acceptance testing (SAT or commissioning testing) is typically done to verifythat the new installed IED is correctly set and connected to the power system. SATrequires that the acceptance testing has been performed and that the applicationconfiguration is verified.Maintenance testing is a periodical verification that the IED is healthy and hascorrect settings depending on changes in the power system. There are also othertypes of maintenance testing.3.2 Commissioning checklistBefore starting up commissioning at site, check that the following items are available.• Single line diagram• Protection block diagram• Circuit diagram• Setting list and configuration• RJ-45 Ethernet cable (CAT 5)• Three-phase test kit or other test equipment depending on the complexity ofthe configuration and functions to be tested.1MRK 511 248-UEN - Section 3Starting up19Commissioning Manual
