Kent G3
Three-phase platform additions — run after Common.
Pass/fail discipline
Every item in these checklists has a defined pass condition. Meet it, tick it. If you cannot meet it, the item is a fail — and a failed safety or sequence item stops the commissioning until you fix it and re-verify.- 📷 marks items that require a photo in the commissioning record. The full shot list is the Site Photo Checklist.
- Items carrying a KNB-VAL tag have a value pending Kent confirmation. Apply the stated interim rule exactly and record what you measured — the interim rule is mandatory, not optional.
Treating a KNB-VAL interim rule as optional because “the real number is coming” is not acceptable. Record the measured value against the tag every time.
The commissioning record
A complete commissioning record has four parts. All four must be present before you leave the site.Completed checklist(s)
Every item ticked, every pass condition noted. Common plus the relevant platform list.

Common mistakes
| Mistake | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Ticking now, photographing “later” | Photos taken after leaving are unreliable and often never happen |
| Treating a KNB-VAL tag as advisory | Interim rules are the current field standard — deviating creates an unrecorded gap |
| Running the backup test with a lamp instead of real essential loads | The test must prove your actual installation, not a proxy |
| Leaving zero-export “configured” but never witnessed | Configuration without a utility-meter witness is not commissioning |
