The Challenge

Testing and commissioning windows are short, and settings, logic, or interface issues often show up only in the field, when fixing them costs more.

How KR Helps

Technical support for your team, by scope or period, connecting approved settings, logic, integration, and field verification.

  • Implementation of client-approved settings.
  • Test procedures and acceptance criteria agreed before execution.
  • Logic selectivity testing and interlock verification.
  • Open items recorded with owners at the end of each stage.
WHAT CAN BE HIRED

Activities & Deliverables

Hire the stage you need: preparation, testing, field work, or documentation

IED Settings

Implementation of approved settings and logic in ABB, Schneider Electric, SEL, and Siemens IEDs.

Typical deliverables:

  • Configuration files based on approved settings
  • Contracted logic implemented and documented
  • Firmware and software version checks
  • Record of changes made

Panel Testing & FAT

Functional testing of protection panels before shipment, according to agreed procedures and acceptance criteria.

Typical deliverables:

  • Functional tests of contracted protections
  • Logic selectivity tests
  • Interlocking and signaling checks
  • Test report and open-items list

Field Commissioning

Field verification of protection, integration, and logic, supporting the client's commissioning team.

Typical deliverables:

  • Functional field tests
  • SCADA integration checks
  • Support during site acceptance testing (SAT)
  • Record of results and open items

Documentation & Handover

Delivery of agreed final files, records, and open items, with verifiable criteria defined in the proposal.

Typical deliverables:

  • Final configuration files
  • Test reports in the agreed format
  • As-built updates when contracted
  • Open-items list with owners

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions on Testing & Commissioning

Scope, test equipment, and mobilization

Who supplies the test set and accessories?

Test equipment is supplied by the client or planned as a rental. Supplier, accessories, and calibration evidence are defined in the proposal, before booking the schedule.

Does KR develop the settings or only implement them?

It depends on the scope. For implementation-only scopes, KR uses the approved settings provided by the client. When studies are also hired, the proposal defines who prepares, reviews, and approves the settings.

Do you work outside Brazil?

Yes. There is experience on projects in the United States and Poland, with fluent English. International mobilization requirements are defined case by case in the proposal.

Is a test or commissioning coming up?

Describe the type of installation, the equipment involved, and the planned window so we can define the next step.
