This document provides instructions for connecting test equipment to perform insulation and sheath testing on different cable configurations. It explains that for a 3x single-core system or three-core cable with individual shields, all three cores can be tested at once for insulation. For a three-core cable with a common shield, each core must be tested separately while shorting the other two cores to ground. When testing the sheath of a 3x single-core system, the sheaths of all three cores can be tested simultaneously if the shields at the far end are also disconnected from ground.
