Electrical

01

The installation shall be tested with AC voltage at power frequency voltage equals to 1.7Uo for 1 hour between each conductor and metallic sheath OR AC system voltage Uo for 24 hours to keep the cable on idle charge with minimum protection setting to protect the cable in 24 hours.

In addition to the above, we have to prepare for the following additional performance test which are being demanded by the clients
01

The desired performance test shall comprise keeping the commissioned cable system energized format least for 7 consecutive days on continuous basis with the loads available at the time of carrying out the test. In case of failure, after due rectification, it shall be restarted for 7 seven continuous days. Still if it fails, the cable system is declared not suitable for any operation and shall be declared dead.

If the facility at our works is available, it is ok. If not, we may have to equip ourselves to carry out the short circuit on metal sheath of cable to ensure that metal sheath withstands the specified short circuit current against each contract. We need to evolve suitable procedure or test methodology for testing joint bays and manholes for withstanding a live loads of 30T
