Discuss Inspecting a large Agricultural Installation in the Periodic Inspection Reporting & Certification area at ElectriciansForums.net

Hello All

We've been asked to test quite a large Corn Starage/Drying plant. The installation was put in in 1979 and has never been tested since. We have all the blueprint drawings, but cables are not marked at each end (i.e control panel and isolator).
When I've been round other sites where folks have had it tested, the first thing that seems to be done is that all of the SWA's are identified at each end using something like Critchley Markers.
Is this something we need to be doing before we start testing out, or do we not need to bother?
Sounds a bit of a simple question, but we could be talking at least a weeks work labeling up!
 
if they'll pay for the effort and time taken, makes it a lot easier if you get called out to a fault and they're panicking to get something back on line, like yesterday
