Abstract: Aspects extend to methods, systems, and computer program products for automatically commissioning an electrical system in industrial/commercial settings (e.g., a data center) to increase the likelihood that the electrical system functions as intended when released into production. Automated data collection devices can collect commissioning data related to electrical and other characteristics of electrical equipment. Automation software can access commissioning data from the automated data collection devices over a computer network. The commissioning data can be stored in a database for analysis. The commissioning data can be compared to pass/fail criteria and a commissioning report can be generated.

Abstract: Aspects extend to automated time-synchronized electrical system commissioning. Automated electrical system commissioning in industrial/commercial settings (e.g., a data center) increases the likelihood that the electrical system functions as intended when released into production. Automated data collection devices can be time-synchronized to collect commissioning data related to electrical and other characteristics of electrical/power system equipment. Time-synchronization can be used to correlate collected data related to electrical loads, electrical harmonics, transient conditions, etc. collected from different data collection devices. A commissioning center computer system can send a local timing signal over a network to a plurality of collection devices to update/synchronize clocks at each of the plurality of data collection devices to a specified time. The commissioning center computer system can include a receiver for receiving a global (e.g., GPS, GLONASS, etc.) time signal.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention extend to an apparatus (e.g., a panel or a device) including externally exposed connections (e.g., ports) to internal power system electrical wiring inside a piece of electrical equipment. In one aspect, during manufacture of a piece of electrical equipment, a panel is integrated into an external surface of the piece of electrical equipment. In another aspect, a panel or device is fitted to an external surface of a piece of electrical equipment at a facility. A panel or device includes one or more ports externally exposing internal power system electrical wiring inside the piece of electrical equipment. Each of the one or more ports is wired to a portion of the internal power system electrical wiring. Connecting external devices to the internal power system wiring at the ports increases safety during electrical system commissioning.
