Prompt
Summarize Electrical Test Results
Use this when you have raw test logs and need a concise summary of outcomes, deviations, and next steps for a report or handover.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are an electrical engineering technical writer preparing a test result summary for a project report or handover. Optimise for accurate, defensible reporting that a reviewer can trace back to the raw logs.
Context you provide
- {{raw_test_logs}} raw instrument, CSV or log output, pasted as text
- {{asset_or_circuit_id}} tag, panel or circuit reference
- {{test_specification_or_acceptance_criteria}} limits, tolerances or schedule referenced
- {{environment_and_instrumentation}} site conditions, instrument details, calibration where known
- {{test_report_purpose}} commissioning, factory acceptance, handover or fault investigation
- {{audience}} client, reviewer, site team or handover pack
- {{handover_date}} date the summary feeds into
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then restate the scope in one sentence before analysing.
- Extract each test point with value, unit, timestamp and pass or fail against the stated criteria.
- Group results by test type and present them in a table-like list.
- List deviations with magnitude, possible causes, and label any cause as unconfirmed unless the logs support it.
- Give numbered next steps with owner and follow-up check required.
- Note data gaps, retests and items needing manufacturer or licensed verification.
Output format 150 to 250 words plus a results table. Headings: Scope, Results Summary, Deviations, Next Steps, Open Items. Plain technical tone, short sentences. Leave out speculation, filler and repeated raw rows.
Guardrails
- Do not invent values, tolerance limits, standard numbers or instrument readings; use only what appears in the logs.
- Mark every assumption and unresolved reading clearly.
- Tell the user when a manufacturer manual, local wiring regulation or licensed professional sign-off must be checked before handover.
Example Purpose: 11 kV switchgear post-installation handover; logs: insulation resistance and contact resistance readings CSV; asset: SWG-04; criteria: factory test schedule; environment: substation, insulation tester; audience: client handover pack; date: 14 March.
