FIELD TESTING PROCEDURE FOR MI TRACE HEATING CABLE
A. Check MI Cable with S00 volt insulation tester.
TF below minimum, contact factory,
2, Before installation of cable: minimum reading 20 megohns. 1
minimum, contact supervisor.
3. After installation of caiole: minimum reading 5 megohms. Record reading
on Document “B. If below minimum, contact supervisor.
4, After thermal insulation is applied: minimum reading S megohms. Record
reading on Document ‘B*. If below minimum, contact supervisor,
5. Comnissioning/Start-up of System minimum reading 5 megohms. Record
reading on Document *C’. If below minimum, contact supervisor,
Supervisor's instructions for _megger readings below acceptable minimum,
oelow
1 When received contact factory with megger readings below acceptable
minimum at this point
2, Before installation, a megger reading below acceptable minimum at this
point should start the Following investigation.
a, Visually inspect the cable for physical damage.
b, Check storage area! The cables should be stored in a relatively
dry location out of the elements, Make sure that the power ends
are covered while stored.
c. Check resistance from conductor to sheath with an ohm neter.
If reading is over 2000 ohms, the problem is likely to be moisture,
Moisture can be overcome oy heat with a torch, a heat gun, or by
applying a lower voltage and letting the cable heat for a few
hours. If the ohm reading is under 2000 ohms, the cable should be
repaired or replaced.
3. After installation: low megger reading at this point should be referred
to steps 20 and 2c above.
4, After insulation: a low megger reading at this point should be referred
to steps 20 and 2c above, With the insulation installed, the only
available point to heat with a heat source is the cold lead. Try to
expose the hot to cold junction. This is the likely location for the
moisture to get in or out due to the physical weleding or soldering in
this area. If the design voltage is all that is available to energize
the coble, check with the factory or the project manager before
1. When received: Minimum reading 20 megohms. Record reading on Document ‘A‘
