PART 3 EX<strong>EC</strong>UTION3 .1 INSP<strong>EC</strong>TIONA. Demonstrate that electrical work operates satisfactorily and in accordance with the requirementsof the drawings and specifications. Before final inspection, remove the front covers on all panelboards, and wire gutters. Replace covers after the final inspection is completed.3 .2 TESTINGA. General:1. Make all specified tests in the presence of the Contracting Officer.2. Furnish all instruments and provide qualified personnel to perform all tests in accordancewith the drawings and specifications.3. Perform all tests at no additional expense to the Government.4. Operate all electrical equipment within the ranges specified by manufacturer.5. Correct defects revealed by the tests.B. Balance Test: Test for proper load balance on the system, and make adjustments as required.C. Conductors: Prior to energization of circuitry, test installed wires and cables to ensure thatinsulation resistance levels are adequate, test wires and cables for electrical continuity and forshort-circuits.D. Wiring devices: Ensure proper polarity of connections. Prior to system energization, test wiringdevices in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations.E. Grounding:1. Upon completion of installation of electrical grounding and bonding systems, test groundresistance with ground resistance tester.2. Where test shows resistance-to-ground is over 25 ohms, reduce resistance to 25 ohms orless by driving additional ground rods; then retest to demonstrate compliance.F. Panel boards and Load Centers:1. Prior to energization of circuitry, check all accessible connections to manufacturer's torquetightening specifications.2. Prior to energization of panel boards or load centers, check phase-to-phase and phase-togroundinsulation resistance with ground resistance tester.G. Lighting Fixtures and Lighting System: Upon completion of installation and testing of lightingfixtures replace any defective ballasts, contactors, control devices or burned out lamps.16010-305/08 <strong>GENERAL</strong> EL<strong>EC</strong>TRICAL PROVISIONS
