Something exploded.

This is not an appropriate question for an anonymous forum, in my opinion.

You need a technician to do a forensic investigation....capacitors can sometimes explode....wires can cross phase, terminals can blow out...speculation without detailed examination is useless....do you have pictures?

That is a common practice, but tells us nothing about what may have happened...

Simply, during the test period the equipment was subjected to a pressure that it was unable to sustain.

  • Pressure testing should be done using incompressible fluids. Water at ambient temperature is a good example of a suitable fluid, being relatively benign to both operative and environment. The Engineer/Surveyor for the company responsible for providing burst/collapse indemnity insurance cover is always the best point of reference. This individual's name is on the pressure test record for the equipment that is being tested.

Why do I suspect that it was filled with R290? Call your lawyers and forensic engineers.
