Sec. 7.1
Inspection shall be performed by the project approved Quality Control Schedule Q
A2 Inspector (QCI) and witness point shall be coordinated with the Contractor Att. IV
and Company. Sec. 5.1

Check physical condition of cable for apparent jacket damage. Schedule Q

A3
(NETA ATS, Sec. 7.3.3.1.10) Sec. 1.3

Perform a shield-continuity test to ensure shield is not broken, on each

Schedule Q
A4 shield with a certified and calibrated ohm-meter.
Sec. 1.3
(NETA ATS, Sec. 7.3.3.2.3)

Perform a Core-continuity test to ensure conductor is not broken, on each

SAES-P-104
A5 power cable with a certified and calibrated ohm-meter.
Sec. 3.2
(NEC 110.3 B and Manufacturer's Instructions)

Check the installed cables for test. Ensure the circuit is de-energized,
remove any temporary grounds and disconnect cable from equipment. If
Schedule Q
A6 equipment cannot be disconnected, a reduced voltage should used for the
Sec. 1.3
test.
(NETA ATS, Sec. 7.3.3 & Sec. 5.1.4)

Check for correct cable test voltage. Erect safety barriers and post safety
SAES-P-104
A7 man at cable end remote from the test equipment.
Sec. 3.1
(SA Pre-Commissioning Form # P-042)

Using a four-point, low-resistance ohmmeter, connect both C1 and P1 of

SAES-P-104
A8 the test set to one end of the cable shield.

Connect C1 and P1 of the test set to one end of the cable shield. SAES-P-104
A9
(NEC 110.3 B and Manufacturer's Instructions) Sec. 3.2

Connect the C2 and P2 of the test set to the other end of the cable shield.
NOTE: Observe the correct orientation for the current circuit (C2) and the
SAES-P-104
A10 potential circuit (P2) hook-ups at the opposite end (P2 connection closer
Sec. 3.2
to the specimen than C2). (NEC
110.3 B and Manufacturer's Instructions)

On completion of test, each core shall be grounded to allow residual

SAES-P-104
A11 charge to dissipate.
Sec. 3.1
(S A Pre-Commissioning Form # P-042)

Check and Insulate cable cores from ground. SAES-P-104

A12
