Ensure that the VFD Rating (HP/kW) is higher or equal to the Motor Power Rating.
1 Ensure that the VFD Output current is higher or equal to the Motor Full Load Current.
Ensure that the specified cable used for VFD Input / Output is as per manufacturer’s design.
7.4 Commissioning
The objective is to confirm the physical condition and electrical characteristics of the Variable
Frequency Drive installed and to ensure that it is connected to the system at a correct condition
as mandated by design specifications and equipment schedule. Schneider’s Representative will
supervise the start-up and sign off when VFD requirements during commissioning are fulfilled.
Before starting up the VFD, parameters have to be set first. Record the motor rating and
VFD set-points in FM-MS-ADP-230514-002 and hardcode them thru the VFD Display.
Functional checks of the VFD in Automatic Mode shall be carried out by following the
1
methodology in Performance Test Sheet FM-MS-ADP-230514-003.
Functional checks of the VFD in Automatic Mode shall be carried out by following the
methodology in Performance Test Sheet FM-MS-ADP-230514-004. If BMS is not yet
integrated with the VFD, current or voltage signal will be injected thru the Start/Stop
Terminal Blocks.
MEP RFIC should be issued for QC Inspectors verification before submission to CSC.
Refer to ITP No. ADP-262419-002 and strictly follow inspections steps.
Refer to QMP-ADP-014000-625 for RFIC submission process.
