The Importance of Proper MV/LV System Commissioning


Commissioning of medium and low voltage (MV/LV) power systems is a vital process that ensures the infrastructure functions as intended from day one. A comprehensive commissioning phase involves insulation resistance testing, CT/VT polarity checks, relay configuration validation, and protection coordination verification.


At OXCART Power System Engineering, our engineers conduct commissioning in full alignment with IEC standards and UK grid compliance requirements. Every relay, breaker, and cable is inspected and tested under simulated fault conditions. This prevents downstream issues like tripping faults, nuisance alarms, or system inefficiencies.


For industries operating in critical sectors like data centers, manufacturing, or logistics, proper commissioning translates to uptime assurance, reduced warranty claims, and safety compliance. In this article, we explore the key steps, tools, and reporting requirements that make commissioning more than just a formality—it’s the foundation of reliability.
