Commissioning
Welcome to the preliminary Commis-
sioning handbook in the series of booklets
within the LEC Support Programme of BU
Transmission Systems and Substations.
We hope that you will find the booklet
useful in your work.
This booklet is dedicated to the com-
missioning. It includes for example:
– Formulas for commissioning
– Test of Current Transformers
– Test of SPAJ.
In booklet 15B you will find correspond-
ing protocols.
The authors welcome any idea you
may have to improve the quality of this
booklet as well as the other ones.

Best of luck!
