Rationale: The Megger Test applies high DC voltage to measure the resistance of insulation, ensuring it can withstand the operating voltage without leakage or breakdown, preventing shorts to ground or between conductors.

Rationale: The RFC or MC Certificate formally transfers custody and responsibility of the completed installation from the Construction team to the Commissioning team, signaling readiness for testing.

Rationale: Transformer oil level changes with temperature. It's crucial to check the sight gauge and ensure the level is correct for the current ambient temperature using the manufacturer's correction chart.

Rationale: LOTO's fundamental purpose is to prevent injury by isolating all energy sources (electrical, hydraulic, mechanical, etc.) and securing them so they cannot be activated during work.

Rationale: Incorrect phase sequence causes three-phase motors to run in reverse. This is critical for equipment like pumps or compressors where reverse rotation can cause severe damage.

Rationale: Continuity implies a low-resistance path. A healthy conductor should have negligible resistance, typically measured in milliohms, or at least much less than 1 Ohm.

Rationale: The relay's primary function is based on its settings. Before injecting signals, the first check is ensuring the loaded settings (time, current, voltage curves) match the approved protection study.

Rationale: Successful synchronization requires matching the generator's **Voltage**, **Frequency**, and **Phase Angle** to the system or grid to prevent large circulating currents and severe mechanical stresses.

Rationale: Punch List A items are critical defects (safety, operability, or legal) that prevent the successful continuation of commissioning and must be cleared before energization or system startup.

Rationale: High-speed and high-power rotating equipment requires very precise alignment to minimize vibration and bearing wear. Laser alignment tools provide the necessary accuracy.

Rationale: Hydro testing uses water (or sometimes pneumatic pressure for low-risk systems) to confirm the system can withstand its design pressure without leakage or failure.

Rationale: This test requires slowly varying the coil voltage to determine the exact voltage at which the device reliably closes (pick-up) and opens (drop-out). A variable power supply and voltmeter are necessary.

Rationale: The ratio test ensures that the CT accurately steps down the primary current to the expected secondary current (e.g., 100/5 A), which is fundamental for accurate relay operation.

Rationale: Before fluid introduction, the control valve must be calibrated to ensure it moves correctly, reaches its 0% and 100% limits, and adopts the correct fail position (e.g., Fail-Open or Fail-Close).

Rationale: Working near or on live electrical equipment carries the risk of an Arc Flash incident. Proper PPE, rated for the calculated incident energy, is the critical barrier.

Rationale: SAT stands for Site Acceptance Test, which is the final verification that equipment/systems function correctly at the installed location according to specifications, usually witnessed by the client.

Rationale: VSDs generate significant heat. Failure of the cooling system will lead to immediate overheating and tripping (or damage) when the drive attempts to operate.

Rationale: Loose connections increase resistance, leading to heat generation, power loss, and potential fire/failure. Torquing to specification is a mandatory pre-energization activity.

Rationale: The differential pressure switch senses airflow (or lack thereof). Testing involves introducing a known pressure difference (or running the fan) to verify the switch contact closure/opening.

Rationale: The CT secondary must never be open-circuited while the primary is energized. Without the burden, the magnetic flux in the core generates an extremely high voltage across the secondary, which is a major safety hazard and can destroy the CT.

Rationale: Piping must be thoroughly cleaned or flushed to remove grit, metal shavings, and debris left from construction before fluids are introduced, preventing damage to pumps, heat exchangers, and sensitive components.

Rationale: Measuring the coil resistance against the manufacturer's specification confirms the coil winding is intact and capable of operating. An open circuit means the breaker cannot be tripped electrically.

Rationale: De-inventoried means ensuring the pipe contains no residual energy or hazardous contents (e.g., flammable gas, corrosive liquid) before personnel break containment, which is a critical safety step.

Rationale: Correct glanding is crucial for maintaining the enclosure's environmental rating (IP rating) and for providing a reliable earth connection for armored cables.

Rationale: Test Case IDs provide a unique reference for specific tests within a procedure, allowing for clear tracking, documentation, and reporting of results.

Rationale: Air (specifically the oxygen content) is the most critical non-condensable gas. It drastically reduces heat transfer efficiency and can cause severe water hammer and corrosion damage.

Rationale: PC verifies that the installation is complete and ready for operation (static checks, wiring, torque). C verifies that the system operates correctly under actual conditions (dynamic tests, functional logic, load runs).

Rationale: The Step and Touch Potential test (or a simpler Earth Resistance Test) confirms the earthing system can safely dissipate fault currents and limit the voltage gradient experienced by personnel.

Rationale: The loop check confirms the entire circuit path, from the sensor's input to the control system's reading, is correct and calibrated (e.g., 4mA = 0 PSI, 20mA = 100 PSI).

Rationale: When an SRV opens, it releases high-pressure fluid/gas. The discharge must be routed safely to a flare or vent stack to prevent injury, noise, and equipment damage.

Rationale: Foreign Material Exclusion (FME) protocols, including accounting for all tools and ensuring the area is clear of debris, is essential to prevent internal damage to rotating equipment or blockage of lines.

Rationale: Correct cell voltage, electrolyte levels/specific gravity, and especially **polarity** (positive/negative) are critical to prevent severe damage upon connection to the charger or load.

Rationale: Addressable loops rely on each device having a unique address. This must be confirmed against the control system configuration before any functional test is performed.

Rationale: The HIPOT test applies a voltage higher than the normal operating voltage to stress-test the insulation, ensuring it is robust and defect-free before service.

Rationale: Limit switches provide feedback on valve position. It is critical to confirm they are physically set and electrically wired to indicate the correct fully open and fully closed positions.

Rationale: The PSSR is a mandatory, final safeguard that ensures the facility is safe to operate before introducing fuel, high-voltage power, or hazardous materials.

Rationale: IS circuits prevent ignition in hazardous areas by limiting energy. Correct segregation, grounding of IS barriers, and use of blue sleeving/labels are mandatory to maintain this protection.

Rationale: A differential pressure test, where pressure is applied to one side while the other is monitored, is used to detect leaks between the shell and tube sections, which would cause fluid contamination.

Rationale: Primary injection involves passing a high current (simulating a fault) directly through the breaker's primary path to verify the trip unit operates correctly according to its programmed curve/settings.

Rationale: Fuel lines must be absolutely clean. High-pressure air or steam blowing is performed to flush out all debris, rust, and contaminants that could damage the burners or valves.

Rationale: The fire pump system must automatically maintain system pressure (Jockey pump) and start the main pump reliably when pressure drops below the fire activation setpoint.

Rationale: The CTP or Check Sheet is the formal, approved document used by the C&PC team to execute and record the tests, ensuring consistency and compliance with design requirements.

Rationale: Vacuum pulling is done to remove non-condensable gases and moisture. A crucial step is ensuring the system is only at atmospheric pressure or slightly above (e.g., nitrogen holding pressure) before vacuum is applied.

Rationale: Correct wiring is the foundation of safe and reliable operation. A single incorrect termination can cause catastrophic damage when power is applied, making point-to-point verification essential.

Rationale: Temporary strainers protect rotating equipment during initial flush/startup. They are removed only after the flush is complete, and a visual check confirms no significant debris remains, to prevent future contamination.

Rationale: The thermal overload protects the motor from sustained overcurrent. It must be set to the motor's actual full-load current (FLC) to provide correct protection.

Rationale: This check involves powering up the control system and verifying that all I/O cards (Analog Input, Digital Output, etc.) are recognized by the controller and have correct internal diagnostic status before field wiring is connected/tested.

Rationale: Rotating machinery checks (oil level, alignment, and rotation) are fundamental to prevent immediate damage upon startup.

Rationale: Partial Discharge testing is specifically used on medium and high-voltage cables to detect internal insulation weaknesses (voids or contaminations) that will lead to eventual breakdown under operating voltage.

Rationale: The CFC or RFSU Certificate is the formal declaration, signed by all relevant parties, that construction, pre-commissioning, and all safety reviews are complete, allowing the project to proceed to the final phase of commissioning and start-up.
