good morning guys and girls.
looking for a little bit of help if anyone feeling generous?
im currently completing my 2396 design project and NEARLY completed it, however i have to create an electrical O&M Manual for my installation.

now this is completly new to me as im an installation sparky by trade and never had to do anything like this. any help or infomation or even a sample of one would be appreciated.
many thanks barry

You should include an introduction, description and purpose of the installation, emergency procedures, manufacturers information including warranties and guarantees, maintenance requirements including recommended list of spares, record drawings, certification/commissioning results, residual H&S and environmental information and de-commissioning procedures.

You don't need to complete the O&M manual, you just need to identify what "headings" it should contain and a brief description of what you would include under each heading.

Use this at your risk, but the sort of headings you are looking for are:

The purpose of the installation and index of designers, installers etc (all interested parties)

The technical specification of the installation and safety related information

The operation of the installation and safety aspects

Manufactureres information and recommendations on use of equipment

Modifications to the systems

Disposal of the systems

As Installed drawings

Hope this helps good luck with your project

In a previous life as a contractor prior to the commencement of a new project it was always together with the risk assessment and method statement plus test sheets, the O&M manuals were started. The O&Ms put on the shelf and added to as the job progressed
The O&Ms started at the beginning of the job not scurrying round at the end trying to complete
