COMMISSIONING

Verify before
operation.

Every splice and every tap-off on every busway is tested at rated current during commissioning and throughout operation.

WHAT IS COMMISSIONING?

The baseline for your installation.

It is a critical step before operation: it establishes that the installation starts from a sound baseline.

Commissioning involves checking all busways and splices and also makes it possible to verify the design. The design must meet every building constraint: expansion, room ambient temperature, firestops, and support system.

New installation

Full validation of an installation at rated current, with an automatically generated test report.

Existing busways

At any point during the life of an installed sensor, an automatic report can be generated for a selected time range.

LOAD TESTING

What Hotspot Tracking analyzes.

Load testing validates the installation on the following points:

Exploded view of a Mercurio electronic module: white enclosure, green connector board, and cover with LED indicators
01

Splice torque

Torque check for each splice, verified under rated load.

02

Surface temperature

Analyzed in relation to room ambient temperature.

03

Stabilized thermal conditions

Validation of installation behavior once thermal conditions have stabilized.

04

Hottest points

Identification during commissioning of the hottest elements: firestops, expansion joints, etc.

05

Compliance with IEC 61439-1 and 61439-6

Verification that the installation complies with IEC 61439-1 and IEC 61439-6.

PRECISION & COMPLETENESS

More precise and more comprehensive than market alternatives.

Current systems, including thermal cameras, quickly reach their limits: difficult access, complex interpretation, and specialist expertise required. Hotspot Tracking commissioning reliably measures every point, during commissioning and in operation.

COMPLEMENTARY TO INSTALLATION

We do not replace the installer.
We validate their work.

Commissioning does not compete with structure installers: we assess the installation and its design.

Our solution makes it possible to assess every aspect of a complex busway project:

  • Correct busway sizing
  • Compliance with the manufacturer’s installation rules
  • Temperature checks at the hottest locations, such as firestops
  • Correct busway response to expansion

Monitoring

Sensors installed from the construction phase provide continuous monitoring and analysis
FROM TESTING TO MONITORING

Commissioning establishes the baseline.
Monitoring takes over afterward.

Measurements made during commissioning form the thermal baseline of your installation: the documented healthy condition of every splice at startup. Monitoring then uses that reliable baseline to track each deviation over time.

Day 0: commissioning

Every point measured and documented before energization. These measurements define the installation’s baseline condition.

Then: continuous monitoring

The HQI of every splice is tracked over time from that reliable baseline to detect the slightest deviation.
