Date & Duration : 1 Day

Purpose

Factory Acceptance tests are carried out at Manufacturers premises prior to dispatch of equipment. It is vital to ensure that equipment cleared for dispatch meets technical specification as per contract and tested by adopting test procedure as per relevant IEC standards. The purpose of this course is to familiarise with various Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and the acceptance criteria for substation equipment.

Upon completion of this course the participant will have knowledge of FAT and will be able to accept or reject equipment based on FAT result.

This course will build confidence of all people to understand and deal with technical aspects involved in FAT. It will contribute to timely execution of the project since the acceptance or rejection will happen in advance in manufacturer’s works before dispatch of equipment. It will help to identify potential faults or problems before hand which will save lot of time, money and efforts.
