testing ug cable
INTRODUCTION
This document proves the high and low voltage cable integrity after installation or jointing work is completed and before connection or reconnection to the PGCB Network. Such testing and commissioning will be undertaken by people, who are both qualified and authorized, and the relevant test results will be duly entered into the relevant test report form (refer to CEOF6022 and CEOF6023).
TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
Danger HV Test Signs 1000V DC Megger Insulating Gloves 500V DC Megger Insulated Ground Matting Low Voltage Tester Suitable HV Test Equipment Foster Test Set (For paper cable only)
TRAINING
Training, Assessment and Authorization
Where there is exposure to risk from electrical apparatus a person undertaking work will be appropriately qualified, trained and assessed as competent and authorized to carry out the work.
PRELIMINARY CHECKS Visual Check
A visual check is carried out by the Authorized Person to ensure that the workmanship of both the installation of the cable and cable jointing work meets PGCB requirements before being connected to the Network.
Notification
The Quality Control Coordinator will be notified 3 working days prior to the commencement of the cable tests. The Accredited Service Provider will be responsible for ensuring that the completed work is tested and test reports are forwarded to the Quality Control Coordinator promptly. The Quality Control Coordinator may be present to witness the testing procedure.
Risk Assessment and Control
Tests on underground cables are potentially hazardous to both personnel undertaking the test and the general public in the vicinity. A Worksite CCCE will be carried out, by the Authorized Person, which will determine the precautions that need to be adopted. For public areas warning signs may need to be displayed and barricades erected around the test area (including all exposed cable
