15. TESTING

I. Test at Site

a) Levelling Test:

Accuracy of the floor leveling shall be tested with the lift empty & fully loaded.

The lift shall be run to each floor while traveling both in upward and downward directions and the actual
distance of car floor above/below landing floor shall be measured. In each case there shall not be any
appreciable difference in the these measurements for leveling at the floors when the car is empty and
when it is fully loaded.

b) Safety Gear tests:

Instantaneous safety gear controlled by a governor should be tested with contract load and a contract
speed, the governor being operated by hand. Two tests should be made, however, with wedge clamp or
flexible clamp safeties, one with contract load in the car and the other with 68 kg (equivalent to one
person) in the car. The stopping distance obtained should be compared with the specified figures and
the guides, car platform, and safety gear should be carefully examined afterwards for signs of permanent
distortion.

Counterweight safety gear should be tripped by the counter weight governor and the stopping distance
noted. In this case, however the governor tripping speed should exceed that of the car safety governor
but by no more than 10 percent.

During the safety gear tests, car speed (from the governor or the main sheave) should be determined of
the instant or tripping speed with that stated in IS. The Governor jaws and rope should be examined for
any unique wear.

c) Contract Speed:

This should be measured with contact load in the car, with half load with no load, and should not vary
from the contract speed by more than 10 percent. The convenient method is by counting the number
of revolutions, made by the sheave or drum in a known time. Chalk mark on the sheave or drum and a
stop switch will facilitate timing but care must be exercised to ensure that no acceleration or retardation
periods are included. If the roping is 2 to 1 the sheave speed is twice the car speed. Alternatively, the
speed can be measured by a tachometer applied directly to shaft immediately below the sheave.

d) Lift Balance:

After the above test, some of the weight shall be removed until the remaining weights represent the
figures specified by the tendered. With this condition car at half way travel the effort required to move
the lift car in either direction with the help of winding wheel shall be as nearly as can be judged by the
same.

WBSETCL / TECH SPEC / Rev.-0 Page 12 of 17 Passenger Elevator

e) Car and Landing Doors Interlocks:

The lift shall not move with any door open. The car door relay contact and the retiring release cam must
be tested. The workings of the door operation and the safety edges and light equipment if any provided
shall also be examined.

f) Controllers:

The operation of the contactors and the interlocks shall be examined and it shall be ascertained whether
all the requirements have been met.

g) Normal Terminal Stopping Switches:

These shall be tested by letting the car run to each terminal landing in turn, first with no load and then
with contract load by taking measurements, top and bottom over travels can be ascertained.

h) Final Terminal Stopping Switches:

The normal terminal stopping switches shall be disconnected for this test. It shall be ensured that these
switches operate before the buffers are engaged.

i) Insulation Resistance:

This shall be measured (after removing the electronic PCB’s and their connection) between power and
control lines and earth and shall not be less than 5 mega-ohms when measured with D.C. voltage of 500
volts. The test shall be carried out with contactors so connected together as to ensure that all parts of e
very circuit re simultaneously tested.

j) Earthing: All conduits, switches, casing and similar metal work shall have earthing continuity.

k) Ropes: The size, number construction and fastenings of the ropes should be carefully examined.

l) Buffers:

The car should be run on to its buffers at contract speed and with contract load in the car to test whether
there is any permanents distortion of the car or buffers. The counter weight buffers should be tested
similarly.

WBSETCL / TECH SPEC / Rev.-0 Page 13 of 17 Passenger Elevator

II. Tests at Manufacturer’s work:

a) High Voltage Test:

The dielectric of electrical apparatus (excluding motors, generators and instruments which are tested in
accordance with the appropriate Indian Standards wherever they exist) shall be capable of withstanding
a test voltage of ten times the working voltage with a maximum of 2000 volts when applied.

i) Between the live parts and case of frame with all circuits completed.

ii) Between main terminals or equivalent parts with all circuits open, and

iii) Between any live parts of independent circuits.

Note: Owning to the impracticability of applying tests (ii), (iii) mentioned above on controllers and similar
apparatus after controller wining has been completed, these tests may be made at convenient stages of
manufacture.

Method of Applying High Voltage: The test shall be made with alternating voltage of any convenient
frequency, preferably between 49 and 60 cycles per second. The test voltage shall be of approximately
sine wave form and during the application of voltage with peak value, as would be determined by spark
gap by oscillography or by any other approved method shall not be more than 1.45 times the RMS value.
The RMS values of the applied voltage shall be measured by means of a volt meter used with a suitably
calibrated the applied voltage shall be measured by means of a Voltmeter used in connection with a
special calibrated voltmeter winding or testing transformer by any other suitable voltmeter connected
to the output side of the testing transformer.

Duration of High Voltage Test: The test shall be commenced at a voltage of about one third of test
voltage which shall be increased to the full test voltage as rapidly as is consistent with the value being
indicated by the measuring instrument. The full test voltage shall be maintained for one minute. At the
end of this period, the test voltage shall be rapidly diminished to one third of its full value before
switching off. The oil buffers are examined after the above tests have been made to determine if there
has been any oil leakage or distortion and to ensure that buffers return to their normal positions.

b) Buffer Test: A copy of the test report shall be intimated after testing at works.

III. Performance Test:

This test if meant for passenger lift and is conducted to watch the performance of lift installation in terms
of passenger handling capacity and waiting interval as obtained at site vis-a-vis design, data and
conducted as below:

WBSETCL / TECH SPEC / Rev.-0 Page 14 of 17 Passenger Elevator

i) Waiting interval (T)-This can be worked out by taking the average of several round trip times as
observed physically and then dividing it by the number of lifts in that bank.

ii) Handling capacity H= (300 x Q x 100) / (T x P)

Where,

H=Handling capacity as the percentage of the peak population handled during 5 minutes.

P= Total population to be handled during peak morning period. (It is related to the area for which
particular bank of lifts serves).

Q= Average number of passenger carried in a car. T= Waiting interval.

Service Temperature Test:

A continuous run of one hour should be made with number of starts and stops to reproduce as nearly
as practical the anticipate duty in service. (The standard duty cycle is for 90 to 180 starts per hour). It is
very difficult in practice to carry out test with alternate starts at full load and no load and it is necessary
therefore to simulate these cycles. A suitable test for all motors except squirrel cage motors is to run the
car up from the bottom landing with contract load and stop at each floor. From the top floor a non-stop
run is made to the lowest floor and the upward journey with stop is then repeated. The time intervals
between stops and starts at the floors should be uniform and such as to give about 150 starts in one
hour. At the end of this run the temperatures of the armatures and fields of the motor and generator
are recorded. The temperature rise should, not exceed 55 deg. C or 75 deg. C for classes A or B insulation
respectively.

IV. TESTING EXPENSES:

The entire cost of testing for the acceptance and routine tests specified herein shall be treated as
included in the quoted price.

16. CONTRACT DOCUMENT:

The Contractor shall submit six (6) copies of the following to the Chief Engineer (Engineering) for
approval :
