Executive Summary
This report has been created after a thorough investigation carried out on site
consisting of a detailed condition survey using physical verification, thermography imaging
and measurement of electrical parameters from the MDB panel to the Sub Main Distribution
Boards within Al Bayan
The report has been categorized into two priorities Critical & Urgent as per the following
parameters
Priority 1- Critical issues that need immediate action and rectification
Priority 2- Urgent issues that are based on electrical compliance of local and international
authorities
The purpose of this report is to identify the electrical related issues that can impact the
operation of the building, affect the end users/ tenants of the building. The aim of this report is
to address the issues based on priorities and ensure the electrical systems are risk free.
The detailed report illustrates our findings and points of action required to restore the healthy
status of the building.

Stakeless earth testing could not be completed because main ecc cable is in disconnected condition
MDB-1
Main ECC Cable is disconnected:

During Stakeless earth testing it is found that the main ECC cable is not showing any
continuity with earth.
Recommended to check the connection between main ECC cable and earth pit.
Under sized busbar used:
The busbar used for 125A MCCB is 10x5mm, which are under sized busbar.
Recommended to use busbar of proper size as per standard.
Door earthing not provided:
Panel door earthing is not provided for this MDB.

Recommended to provide proper earthing for panel
door
Door handle is damaged:

Door handle of the panel is in damaged condition.
Recommended to replace it with new door handle.
Unused openings found:
Unused openings are present in the door and inside of the panel. This will degrade the
degree of ingress protection of Enclosure
Recommended to close all the unused openings with Suitable grommets to maintain the
ingress protection
Conclusions & Recommendations:

ingress protection
Recommended to provide proper earthing for panel door
Recommended to replace panel door handle with new.
Dust precipitation found on the panel, recommended to clean the panel periodically by
qualified technicians.
