More than energising the system. It’s verifying it’s right.
Electrical commissioning is the systematic process of verifying, testing, and validating an electrical system after installation. It confirms that every component operates as designed, within safe parameters, and in compliance with applicable codes and standards.
For industrial projects, commissioning is the step that turns an installation into a reliable operating asset. Without it, latent faults stay hidden until the worst possible moment. Usually during production startup.
Pro Call Electric performs full electrical commissioning including:
- Point-to-point installation verification.
- Continuity and insulation testing.
- Motor start and stop sequencing.
- Protection verification: relays, breakers, and fuses.
- PLC and integrated controls testing and validation.
- QA/QC documentation and commissioning reports.
Situations that require specialised electrical commissioning.
- Startup of a new industrial plant or process expansion.
- Installation of new MCC panels, switchgear, or transformers.
- Integration of PLC/SCADA systems with field equipment.
- Planned shutdown with safe return to operation.
- Post-emergency maintenance on critical systems.
- Owner, insurer, or auditor-required validation.
Structured process. Documented delivery.
1. Pre-commissioning check
Systematic inspection of the full installation before energisation: connectors, terminations, cables, circuit identification, and design compliance review.
2. Insulation and continuity testing
Insulation resistance measurements (megger testing) and continuity verification of all critical circuits.
3. Controlled energisation
Staged energisation with parameter monitoring: voltage, current, phase sequence, and temperature.
4. Functional testing
Functional validation of each system: motors, controls, instrumentation, protection systems, and automation.
5. QA/QC documentation
Test reports, deviation punch list, electronic as-built, and commissioning certificate delivered to the owner.
