Hallo... As i told last week.. today i have been invited by Mr. Adli in FAT checking. FAT is Factory Acceptance Tests. FAT is conducted to determine and document the equipment hardware and software operates according to its specification (as per demanded by the customer), covering functional, fault management, communications, support systems and interface requirements. The FAT demonstrates that the hardware and/or software work according to the specification. It is particularly important for highly integrated systems due to the complexity of the potential problems that could occur. For programmable systems, the FAT demonstrate that the application program satisfies the requirements of the software specification and works within specified hardware.
Enough with the definition... now its time for me to share my experience there.....
I rushed from home, shooting to Shah Alam.. by 100% depending on the Map given by Mr. Adli, i drove to Shah Alam, seksyen 16.. Hurm... afraid of the consequences of lateness cause me to start my journey at 7 a.m.. Serious, driving to S.Alam by yourself could cause you to end up circling the roundabout thousand times. I end up, asking people by the roadsides for help. After those hassles, i arrived at the factory compound around 8:15 a.m. Darn!! im afraid that im late already since the meeting gonna starts at 8 a.m....
Once arrived, there are several questions like bubbles keep floating in my mind. AM I AT THE CORRECT PLACE?? NO one here yet... is it i'm too early... ?? i dont think so... it this the place? Why it looks like a stranded bulding?.. hurmm... i managed to get hold of a young guy whose wearing so called an uniform... According to him, he forgot to bring the company key and waiting for his colleague to open it up. Out of no where, i saw Syahirah driving thru the alley in her brand new Honda.. At last!! feel so relieved.....
Ms Syahirah is a junior engineer in the EMD department... So, I'm at the correct place and the FAT will be held at SWIFT POWER ENGINEERING SDN BHD.
The meeting starts soon after all respective person arrived at the Company. The FAT involved the end user ( Petronas), customer ( Misi Setia and Tanjung langsat City Gate) and the developer and contractor (Swift Energy) representative. Conducted by Mr Adli, the meeting starts with the project overview in order to give brief explanation particular point that needs to be check in this FAT sessions. There are 2 projects will undergo this FAT session. The FAT, begins with the MISI SETIA OIL GAS
In this project, Misi Setia Oil Gas Sdn Bhd, required a single charger (battery) UPS system for their current project. Since, Petronas Gas Berhad, is the gas supplier to this company, PGB also needs to monitor whether the designed UPS system specifications meets the PTS (Petronas Technical Standards) recommendations in order to maintain the equipments at both ends. 
Single DC Charger FAT checking
Under this DC charger FAT check, the inspection could be divide into 3 parts which are :
i) Visual Inspection
ii) Electrical Inspection
iii) Functional and Load Test
Visual Inspection
During the visual inspection session, the dimensions of the object (DC UPS) is being measured. This measurement should comply with the approved GA drawing.
The external layout/presentation such as the arrangement and allignment of the meters/LEDs/labels/ switches also will be compare with the approved GA drawing.
Electrical Inspection
For Electrical Inspection, every component arrangement was manually checked according to the given SLD (Single Line Diagram). Each connections should comply with the SLD as agreed by the involved party. Electrical checking is very critical and crucial because failure to do so could lead the consumer to buy unreliable equipments. This inspection involve the input voltage (Vac), Frequency, Boost Voltage (Vdc), Float Voltage (Vdc), LEd indication and etc.
Functional and Load Test
In addition, The electrical inspection is then proceed to the functional and load test. The results prior to this test will determine whether the equipment is well functioning or maybe need some changes in order to comply with the PTS and consumer demand.
HUrm...!! What do you think?? interesting Rite? we'll continue on the next post...
