Verified 2026-10-29 Confidence: High

Energization Checks is specified for high-voltage and extra-high-voltage systems in commissioning testing at clause 7.3.B.5 of ANSI/NETA ECS-2024. The energization clause calls for the steps of the written energization plan to be followed and documented.

Value: high-voltage and extra-high-voltage systems

    13.13.1.2 Open Circuit Saturation, Waveform Deviation, and Telephone Interference Factor

    "After the generator voltage test is complete, this test can be extended to slowly increase the voltage in the main transformer for the first time. This is done by opening the high voltage disconnect switch, closing the generator breaker, and slowly increasing the voltage on the main transformer up to the rated voltage. This slow increase is usually recommended for large transformers for the first energization."
