Introduction
This manual must be read in conjunction with other related documentation, which forms part of the overall Health
and Safety File for the premises contractor under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015
(CDM Regulations).
The Health and Safety File is a set of record documentation, (typically sets of manuals and drawings), intended for
the client/end user focused primarily on health and safety when dealing with maintenance, repair or construction
works carried out to the premises.
The file should be made available for any persons who need to work on or operate any building related tasks.
Any future works carried out to the building or its services should be documented and recorded in the health and
safety file.
To obtain the most benefit from this manual, it must be read in conjunction with all related documents located in
the other related Sections of this manual as well as Health and Safety File.
In addition to the documentation directly related to the systems covered by this manual, other inter-related
documentation may need to be consulted to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of not only the service or
plant in question but also it’s possible effect on other services and areas. These documents will be included within
the suite of documents forming the Health and Safety File and include building structure and fabric information and
electrical services.
It is essential that all aspects of Health and Safety, relating to the task, are understood prior to carrying out
maintenance works.
The law imposes a responsibility on the employer to ensure safety at work for all employees and much of the law
regarding safety at work can be found in the Health & Safety At Work Act 1974.
3.1 Manual Users
This Manual has been prepared to provide guidance and recommendations to assist the personnel detailed below. It
is assumed that the users of this documentation will fall into one of the categories listed below. It is further assumed
that the correct instruction and training has been provided by the Client or appointed representative to the users of
this document.

Users of the building - trained designated personnel who can operate appropriate end user controls e.g.
controls, lifts, system overrides. Additionally they can contact appropriate personnel in the event of an
emergency. It is not expected that these personnel will have access to controls that require passcodes to access
control set points etc.

Managers of the building and services - technically qualified senior personnel who have an understanding of the
building construction and its relation to components and systems installed. It is assumed managers know how
to operate plant and systems and deal with emergency and other out of control situations. Personnel will
usually have full access enabling them to alter engineering settings.


5.5 Control
The Package Sub Switchboards are provided with incoming power to the 11kV/415V transformers which are
connected to the incoming section of the LV switchboards. The Package Sub Switchboards are provided with an
emergency power off (EPO) system which will shut down the LV switchboards when activated. The system forms part
of the REF (restricted earth fault) relay system and transformer temperature monitoring system as detailed within
the HV Distribution system in this manual.
The UPS is connected via the Landlords LV Switchboard PSS 1A which can be used to bypass the UPS and feed the
critical load with raw mains power (from DRUPS Power Station D). A Castell interlock system prevents the bypass
circuit from being activated unless the UPS units are in static bypass, preventing damage to the UPS system. The
Bypass Panel also provides complete isolation of each of the UPS and SBM units such that the devices can be serviced
or even completely replaced without removing power to the critical load.
The UPS Output Switchboard A1 is split into two sections via an ACB normally closed bus coupler. In the event of loss
of power to Stream A the switchboard provides essential no break supplies to the PDU 1A. The switching procedures
are detailed within these Operating and Maintenance Manuals.

These Operating routines should only be carried out by trained and competent personnel who have an understanding
of the systems being energised and its implication on other related systems.
When operating and setting equipment and systems a systematic approach must be taken. Therefore it is essential
that the operative understand the system controls and settings at each stage of operation, so that they can properly
react to any unexpected or unforeseen condition and take the appropriate action.
The manufacturers’ manuals and literature must be consulted and referenced to ensure that routines are followed
particularly if there is an unexpected loss or supply or service.
For Specialist systems detailed in this Section as a minimum the authorised user should ensure the following
operations and system information is available, noted and followed:






User Pass Codes.
Engineer Pass codes.
Reporting of any faults, incidents or system alterations.
Ensuring system is tested and maintained in compliance with the relevant legislation, Codes of Practice, Fire
Authority or Insurance Company requirements.
Record keeping of any events.
Emergency Contact Numbers.
6.2 Safety Procedures
The following is a brief guide to the procedures that can be generally adopted minimise the risk to authorised
personnel as well as protecting plant and equipment from damage.
WARNING – HV & LV SWITCHGEAR CARRIES VOLTAGES WHICH ARE LETHAL & MUST ONLY BE OPERATED BY
AUTHORISED COMPETENT PERSONS.
Access to switch rooms and electrical distribution equipment should be restricted to authorised, trained and
competent personnel who are likely to be engineering staff or qualified personnel working under the control of the
engineering staff. Works in the HV Switchrooms to be only carried out by authorized and competent persons
appointed by a qualified HV engineer.
Prior to switching on a circuit check that the equipment or outlets served to ensure equipment and switchgear are
serviceable and safe to operate. If the circuit has unexpectedly stopped operating then ensure the fault-finding
routines are followed. DO NOT switch or replace the protective device as not only can this endanger lives but this may
cause further damage to the systems or equipment served.
When switchgear, distribution boards, or any other item of plant or equipment is out of service, unserviceable or
unsafe, the item in question must be electrically isolated. All fused switches, circuit protective devices etc., must be
switched off and a suitable warning notice fixed in place.
GTI Plastering|Electrical O&M Manual

There are generator backed up power supplies which have automatic changeovers in the Event of power loss,
therefore every source of supply must be isolated and prior to working on equipment.
Secondary power supply systems are provided by generators, battery backup for emergency lighting, fire alarms,
access control systems and intruder alarm systems, must have all sources of supply isolated and prior to working on
equipment. Remote isolation for equipment must be locked off to prevent unauthorised or inadvertent reenergisation of power.

Check to ensure that switch rooms, and plant areas are clean and free from obstruction.
Check to ensure all equipment is properly secured, equipment covers and guards are in place.
Check to ensure that all equipment access panels and doors are closed and secured.
Ensure that all tools and safety equipment are serviceable and in their proper space.
Check that fire-extinguishers are in place and have been serviced.
Check that fire-extinguishing systems are serviceable.
6.3 Permits to Work
A permit to work will be required when maintenance work can only be carried out if, after carrying out a suitable risk
assessment, normal safe working practices cannot be followed.
A permit to work system usually comprises of a written document which specifies the extent of the works,
precautions to be taken and anticipated timescale.
The document will usually need to be signed by a suitably experienced and qualified senior member of the employer’s
staff.
6.4 Emergency Procedures
The emergency procedures are intended as a guide only, for each emergency situation that arises has to be taken in
the light of its degree of severity and the conditions prevailing at the time.
Never take risks in an emergency, for a risk can turn a minor emergency into a major one. The safety of personnel
must always come first.
Any temporary repairs effected or arrangements made during or after an emergency must be corrected as soon as it
is practically possible.
The emergency procedures are intended as a guide only, for each emergency situation that arises has to be taken in

6.6 LV Switchboards
A substation has been provided on site by Scottish and Southern Energy (S&SE). The substation is located in a
reinforced section of the Energy Centre at Ground Floor Level. LV supply cabling has been installed from the
transformer LV cabinet in the substation to the LV switch panel located in the adjacent room of the Energy Centre
allocated as the main LV switchroom.
6.6.1
Start Up Procedures
Prior to switching on for the first time or following a long period of shut down, it will be necessary to carry out a
general inspection of the LV Switchboard following the manufacturers literature recommendations located in this
manual to ensure they are safe and suitable to operate.

Ensure power is available to both sides of the LV Switchboard via the HV/LV Transformers.
Visually inspect the HV switches on the transformers. The upper mechanism has two operating springs; one
for closing and one for opening. Both springs are charged in one operation. Open and Close the circuit
breakers by operating the mechanical push buttons.
The lower mechanism operates the earth switch. There is a mechanical interlock between these two
mechanisms which prevents operating of the disconnector and earthing switch when the circuit breaker is in
closed position. When the earthing switch is in closed position it will be impossible to operate the
disconnector, but the circuit breaker can be closed for testing purpose.
Once the transformers have been connected to the H.V. mains voltage will be applied in a non-load state
and observed for one hour. No anomalies should occur during this period of time.
After storage or disconnection for a longer period, it is recommendable to connect the transformer during
four hours in no-load in order to dehumidify through core heating. After this period it can be put into a
normal operation.
The voltage will be measured at the L.V. terminals to check the corresponding output voltage depending on
the transformation ratio.
Apply the load progressively until the rated power is reached and check the increase in temperature.
Check the transformer temperature monitoring system.
Ensure LV ACB is in the OFF position.
Close the earth switch to the HV switch.
Close the incoming HV switch using the pushbuttons.
Check the HV switch position indicators denote the status as ON.
Voltage should be applied to the Transformer for 1-4 hours with no load to ensure no anomalies occur.
Check LV voltages at transformer LV terminals and apply LV load progressively and monitor increase in
temperature.
Visually inspect LV switchboard and ensure all outgoing devices are open. Check settings/ratings of outgoing
devices.
The main ACB is motorised and will automatically recharge after each closing. Check the unit shows a
‘charge’ and ‘OK’ display.
Press the button to close the ACB.
Check metering shows voltage is present.
Close the outgoing ACB’s or MCCB’s serving the LV equipment.
Check surge protection device visual indicator shows normal.
Check earth fault relay unit LED show a healthy condition (GREEN).
Confirm the meter readings and breaker status indication is correct on the BMS PC.
GTI Plastering|Electrical O&M Manual

6.6.2
Normal Operation
The main LV Panel has an essential and non-essential side, the non-essential side will drop out when the main
incoming breaker detects undervoltage, and motorised MCCB's controlled and monitored by the BMS, will enable
progressive loading of the switchboard as the generator starts up or the main supply comes live.
The main LV panel has the facility to have a mobile generator connected to in the event of power failure. Cabling has
been installed from the LV Switch room to the mobile generator location and a mobile generator connection pillar
has been installed for connection of an 800kVA unit.
The generator will not automatically power up but can manually switched by the client. Essential and non-essential
services are detailed on the main LV Schematic drawing XXXXX, with motorised MCCBs annotated together with
BMS connections. The Main Building will remain fully operational when the mobile generator is the main power
source.

Maintenance Procedures
7.1 Introduction
It should be remembered that remotely controlled systems items of equipment may become energised without
warning. It is therefore imperative to ensure that any such item of equipment is fully isolated before maintenance
work is carried out.
The maintenance instructions comprise, generally, recommendations relating to the schedule of maintenance tasks,
designed to ensure that the various maintenance procedures required for each of the individual services and systems
are carried out at the correct intervals in order to maintain all plant at the maximum efficiency and minimise
breakdown and interruption to services.
Maintenance is required to be carried out to comply with equipment manufacturer’s warranties.
The maintenance instructions within make certain recommendations with regard to the general maintenance
procedures to be adopted in respect of non-specialised plant, the maintenance of specialised plant being detailed in
the separate instruction manuals provided by the equipment suppliers. All required manufacturers literature is
supplied with this manual.
Prior to carrying any maintenance works the operative must be trained and competent both in the equipment and
systems being maintained as well as in the complexity level of work being carried out. The operative should be fully
conversant with the relevant Health and Safety Legislation. Isolation means the operation of switches, the removal of
fuses or links, or physical disconnection of conductors in order to make any system, or part of a system, DEAD and
secured so that it cannot be inadvertently made alive. This will involve cutting off an electrical installation, a circuit or
an item of equipment from every source of electrical energy.
Particular attention must be paid to secondary means of power supplies.
In general remember the following golden rules:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Identify the source(s) of supply.
Isolate.
Secure isolation.
Test that the equipment/system is DEAD, then begin work.
Reference should be made to the Health and Safety Executive’s Health and Safety series
booklet HS(G) 85 on Electricity at Work available from Government bookshops.
Reference should be made to Electricity at Work Guide 1989.
Reference should be made to the appropriate section of the B.S.7671 Regulations for Electrical
Installations prepared by the Institution of Electrical Engineers.
A regular and organised programme of maintenance work, planned to cover all details of the installation within
given maintenance periods, will ensure continued satisfactory operation with a minimum liability to interruptions to
supply caused by equipment faults.
Careful attention must be given to securing the safety of personnel and equipment while maintenance or repair work
is in progress.
Where maintenance work is in progress a DANGER notice must always be attached to any "live" apparatus to call
attention to the danger of approach. A CAUTION notice must always be attached to plant or its associated control
equipment warning of possible damage to equipment, which may be caused by interference.
GTI Plastering|Electrical O&M Manual
23
Before any work is commenced on any item of equipment, the supply and ancillary circuits must be made "dead" and
locked off.
