1. Why Commissioning Is Critical
Commissioning ensures:
- Correct wiring
- Balanced voltage distribution
- Safe system startup
Skipping this step can cause severe performance issues.
2. Pre-Charge Inspection
Check:
- Mechanical integrity
- Tightness of all connections
- Clean terminals
- Proper polarity alignment
3. Initial Charging Procedure
Ni-Cd batteries typically require:
- Constant current charging
- Monitoring electrolyte temperature
- Recording voltage per cell
This activates battery chemistry and equalizes capacity.
4. Performance Verification Tests
After charging:
- Measure total bank voltage
- Conduct discharge test
- Check individual cell voltages
Balanced voltage indicates proper installation.
5. Documentation and Handover
Record:
- Installation diagrams
- Torque values
- Test results
- Maintenance schedule
Proper documentation enhances long-term reliability.
