identification tags. Cable trenches shall be provided with single markers on the centreline of the
run. Similar markers suitably inscribed shall be used to indicate the position of any underground
joints.
Cable ducts shall be cleaned and inspected prior to installation, to ensure the absence of debris
and sharp objects, and temporarily sealed immediately after cable installation to prevent the
entry of such debris, or water. The ducts shall be permanently sealed as soon as all cables are
installed with easily removable material. French chalk shall be applied to the outer sheath of
cables before installation to prevent abrasion between cables and between cables and duct.

gland plate to maintain the IP rating of the enclosure. Prior to installing cable glands into EExd
threaded entries, threads of the gland shall be lubricated with non toxic grease.
Hazardous area equipment shall in no case be drilled out and/or altered. Unused entries shall
be blinded with appropriate type plugs maintaining the same temperature rating of the
equipment. Where enclosures have clearance holes instead of threaded gland entries, cable
glands shall be secured by locknuts fitted with serrated star washers to ensure earth continuity.
Where the design of HV switchgear and control-gear necessitates the provision of an externally
mounted core balance current transformer for earth fault protection, the following requirements
shall be implemented:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
Generally, cable entries to equipment in external locations shall be located on the underside of

installed with a downward slope. All cables shall be supported to avoid strain on either the cable
gland or the equipment and at least 100mm of straight cable shall be left before a bend is
formed.
Cable Termination
HV cable terminations above 6kV shall be of a stress relieving design. Power cable connections
to Generators, transformers and motors shall, generally, be affected via proprietary moulded,
separable, elbow/bushing connectors. Cable connections to HV switchgear and control-gear
shall be carried out using stress-relieving sleeves with trifurcating gloves, or heat shrink type
terminations. The manufacturers instructions regarding cable end preparation and termination
shall be followed exactly, employing any recommended special tools. It is particularly important

Prior to fitting termination lugs, cables shall be inspected for strain free connections. Then
proprietary compression lugs shall be fitted for terminations. LV cables with conductor crosssection up to and including 6mm2 shall be fitted with insulated pin crimp type ferrules and
terminated into SAK, or similar, type terminals, as supplied or approved by the COMPANY
representative. Cables with conductor cross-section larger than 6mm 2 shall be fitted with
compression lugs to suit the equipment terminals. The shanks of compression lugs used for the
termination of cables in LV motor terminal boxes and other field-mounted equipment shall be
insulated with heat shrink sleeving to avoid the possibility of inadvertent contact between
adjacent un-insulated lugs. Where practical, an adequate length of cable tail shall be left at all
cable terminations to enable cores to be connected to any terminal by the longest route. Cable
tails shall be neatly looped or coiled and supported. Spare cores shall be marked as spare and
terminated in spare terminals, provided within the equipment, and earthed. Where insufficient
spare terminals are available, spare cores shall be connected directly to a convenient earth
point. Spare core length shall be maximized within the constraints imposed by the equipment.
Exceptions to this requirement, whereby only one conductor end is terminated due to potential
EMC constraints, will be defined in the construction drawings.
construction drawings, conductor earthing at one end only shall be at the field end.
For control cables, no more than two conductors shall be connected to any one terminal, one
incoming and one outgoing. Where multiple conductors are required to be terminated at the
same point, then the required number of terminals shall be interconnected by proprietary links.
The link shall not occupy the same terminal as the conductor.
The arrangement and connection of power cables within LV Distribution Boards shall provide
sufficient room to enable a clip-on ammeter to be used without stressing the cable.
Cable and Core Identification
Every cable shall have a unique identification number, as recorded in the construction drawings
and cable schedules. All cables shall be identified at their points of origin and destination and at
both sides of any wall or floor penetration. The DOT cable marking system shall be used.
Identification labels shall consist of user printable flame retardant heat shrink sleeves for cable
cores and smaller diameter cables, and polyamide strips for larger cables. Marker strips shall
have slotted ends to permit fixing to the cable by means of nylon ties. Each cable core shall be
uniquely identified at both ends by a core number or by phase color, as applicable, and as
shown on the construction drawings, schematic and connection diagrams. For power cables
where the core insulation color matches the corresponding phase color, no further marking is
necessary.
However, where core insulation does not match the phase color, appropriately
colored sleeves shall be fitted at the termination point. Core identification shall be by proprietary
heat shrink ferrules suitable for thermal print inscription. Cable core identification on horizontally
terminated cores shall read from left to right, and on vertically terminated cores shall read from
bottom to top.

A complete set of As-Built documentation for the installations prior to any commissioning
activities being undertaken shall be provided.
All inspection and test results shall be recorded on the appropriate approved Inspection and
Test Record Sheets. All tests shall be performed under the supervision of Company
representative, unless otherwise stated by Company, record sheets shall be mutually signed.
The Contractor shall transfer all original Inspection & Test Record sheets in accordance with,
and as indicated in the project procedures.
The Suppliers of major electrical equipment will provide, within their IOM manuals, details for
installing, site testing and commissioning equipment within their scope of supply and will provide
representatives to assist during installation, site testing, commissioning and initial energisation
of the equipment. All items of electrical equipment will have been fully tested at the respective
Suppliers works and complete test records will be supplied with the equipment.
The Contractor shall carry out standard tests of insulation, continuity, phase orientation and
correct operation, together with all other tests that may be deemed necessary to prove that the
electrical installation is satisfactory. Installations failing to pass such tests will be rejected and all
work necessary to bring the electrical installation to a satisfactory working condition shall be
carried out and tests shall be repeated.
Insulation Testing
Insulation tests shall be carried out during construction and at the pre-commissioning stage,
prior to the energisation of equipment or cables. The following two methods shall be used:
Insulation resistance testing, applicable to all electrical equipment including, but not
limited to, generators, transformers, switchgear, motors, UPS systems, distribution
boards, trace heating installations, lighting and small power installations, field cables,
earthing and bonding systems and all other items of electrical equipment. Where
equipment contains components, such as silicon diodes or transistors, or wiring, that is
susceptible to damage by over voltage, these items shall be disconnected prior to
commencing tests.
High voltage testing, applicable to switchgear rated at 400V and above and HV cables.
Test voltages shall be in accordance with the relevant IEC Standard or manufactures
recommendation and shall be specified in the equipment commissioning procedure.
Insulation Resistance Tests
Insulation resistance tests shall be conducted prior to executing high voltage tests. Insulation
resistance shall be measured by applying a d.c test voltage from a Megger insulation meter or
equal. For correct comparison of test data, any subsequent insulation resistance tests should
be carried out at the same voltage level as the initial test.
KE01-A1-000-NC-E-PR-0001-000
Rev. C01 Date-05-10-2006
Page 27 of 30
The measured resistance value is also dependent on the temperature of the insulation and shall
be corrected as necessary. As a guide, the insulation resistance of windings reduces by
approximately 50% for each 10C rise in temperature.
High Voltage Withstand Tests
Prior to and on completion of conducting high voltage tests, insulation resistance tests shall
have been carried out.
High voltage testing may be carried out by applying either an a.c. power frequency voltage, a
very low frequency voltage (VLF) or a d.c. voltage, at a level above the operating voltage, in
accordance with the relevant International Standards.
Testing at power frequency is preferred and a.c test equipment must be capable of supplying
the capacitive current requirement of the item under test. As such test equipment is bulky, and
normally impractical for field use, d.c test equipment may be used for cables whereas a.c test
equipment shall be used for switchgear. Cable tests shall record values of leakage current
versus time.
High voltage a.c testing of major electrical equipment will have been conducted at the Suppliers
works to values specified in the relevant International Standards. As repeated high voltage
testing may stress winding insulation such tests shall not be applied at site to generators,
motors or transformers. If, however, for special reasons (e.g. when equipment has been partially
assembled at site) such tests are considered to be necessary, they may be carried out after
consultation and agreement with the COMPANY and the Suppliers Site Representative but at a
reduced voltage level corresponding to 70% of the factory test voltage.
Polarisation Index
Polarisation Index tests will be carried out on all HV motors. The test results will be compared
with those values obtained during the Factory Acceptance Tests.
The Polarisation Index is the ratio of the value of insulation resistance measured after one
minute to that measured after ten minutes, during continuous testing, at the appropriate
voltage, i.e.: PI = R10 min/R1 min.
The Polarisation Index, being a ratio, is practically independent of winding temperature and test
voltage. The ten minute measurement allows the capacitive current, the leakage current over
the surface of the insulation and the dielectric absorption current to stabilise.
The Polarisation Index gives an indication of the condition of winding insulation, with regard to
its dryness and cleanliness. The value will be lower for dirty, wet or chemically contaminated
windings.
Interpretation of Results
Should values of insulation resistance or Polarisation Index fall below the minimum values
specified, the equipment should not be energized nor subjected to high voltage testing. The
equipment and windings should be heated and dried out prior to re-test.
Should a flash-over occur during high voltage testing then the test shall be deemed to have
failed. Appropriate remedial measures, such as cleaning, drying or, if necessary, repair should
be adopted after which re-testing shall take place.
