1. TITLE
XLPE UNDER GROUND CABLE AC VOLTAGE WITHSTAND TEST

2. SCOPE
CABLE AC VOLTAGE WITHSTAND TEST

3. OBJECTIVE
This is to assure that the requirements of electrical individual test works are meets the codes
requirements and contract specifications. To make sure, the works are carried out in
acceptable workmanship and follow the requirements in the quality manual.

4. REFERENCE
4.1 Reference Manual
4.2 Applicable Manufacturers Manuals/Standards
4.3 Contract Specifications and Construction Drawing
4.4 Standard for hand-over test of electric equipment installation engineering
( GB Standard 50150-2006 ).
4.5 Withstand voltage tests on XLPE cables can be performed using the AC test
system with variable frequency once laid on-site. The test system operates in
a frequency range from 20 Hz to 300 Hz and complies with the requirements
according to IEC 60840 and IEC 62067.

5. RISK AND SAFETY PRECAUTION

5.1 Everyone must wear safety helmet when come into construction site and tie safety
belt when work at height.
5.2 High voltage testing area should be circled by rail with warning board (police line) and
make special person to watch.
5.3 If happen anything abnormal, the testing must be stopped, and strengthen test
warding.
5.4 Clean all tools and instruments, prevent something to leave on instrument after test; if
some wires are changed, it need be restored after test.

6. UGC TEST ITEM

6.1 Visual Inspection
6.2 Insulation resistance test
6.3 Cable AC Voltage withstand test.
6.4 Lead sheet DC voltage withstand test

7. UGC TEST PROCEDURE

7.1 Conditioning before testing
7.1.2 All earting switches of the circuit being tested are opened position
7.1.4 All adjacent portions are insulated and grounded
7.1.5 If VTS are designed for UGC test voltage, one side of the secondary winding
has to be conected to earth and wiring to local cubicle has to be disconected.
7.1.6 If VTS not designed for UGC test voltage are removed or insulated by opening of
a disconector.
7.1.7 The secondary winding of all current transformer must be shorted and
grounded
7.1.8 Surge arrester / lightning arrester are disconected from cable
7.1.9 Power transformers are isolated from the cable and conected to ground
7.1.10 Cable box (if available) are isolated conected to ground.
7.1.11 All work on the cable channel are interrupted and staff is warned that test
Will be carried out.

7.3 AC voltage withstand test

7.3.1 Precaution
Cable lead sheet must be conected to ground
Insulation resistance
Use 5000V insulation resistance tester, record the environment temperature
and moisture while measuring, the value should be not less than 1M/kilo Volt
in normal temperature condition.
Insulation resistance must be measured before and after applied voltage test.
