Panel energisation: energy sources and direct controls

Energising a panel introduces electrical energy that this tool does not calculate.

High-energy check

Treat energisation as high energy. Competent-person verification and site procedures are required.

This task's main energy sources are not calculated by this tool. Use the trigger checks below and competent-person verification.

Trigger checks

Electrical
Current, voltage, energisation, arc flash or stored electrical energy.
Thermal
Heat, cold, flame, steam, sparks or thermal stress.

Direct controls to verify

Ticks stay on this screen only. Nothing is saved or sent.

Area is handed over for energisation by an authorised person.
Isolation and dead testing are verified before any contact work.
Unauthorised access is prevented.
Arc-flash procedures and PPE requirements are confirmed.
Energisation is communicated to all affected trades before it happens.
Stop if verification status is uncertain.

For your SPA or pre-start

State the isolation and verification steps, who is authorised to energise, and how unauthorised access is prevented.
