3. Testing, Commissioning, and Handover

Pre-Commissioning Checks:

Performing continuity, polarity, and insulation resistance tests on all installed wiring and circuits prior to system energization.

System Testing:

Load Balancing:

Measuring phase loads at distribution boards and making adjustments to ensure even load distribution across circuits.

Defect Rectification:

Rapidly identifying and rectifying any electrical defects ("snags") identified during client/consultant inspections to meet project handover deadlines.

Documentation:

Marking up site drawings (red-lining) to create accurate

As-Built drawings
