1. Jointing work carried out by trained, skilled and experienced jointers.
Cabel Jointing activities followed in accordance to Installation
2.
Instruction furnished by Jointing material supplier.
Ensure that the jointing area has adequate access, working space
3.
and illumination.
Jointer has all necessary tools, tackles and PPE to carry out the job.
a) Crimping tool with appropriate dies, b)insulation
4.
cuter,c)measuring tape, d)megger tester)Handle to switch
ON/Off…..
All items in Cable jointing kit as per suppliers packing slip and in
5.
Good condition. Ref Receiving inspection check sheet. Annexure 1
Kit description /Model no. meets the requirement in terms of Voltage,
6.
class, Size and Type of Cabel.
Presence of water/Moisture outside or inside cabel.Corroded screen
7. wires and oxidized conductors are indications of presence of
moisture.
8. Record of IR value (200 Mohms) before jointing.
9. Clean and degreased parts for installation
10. Insulation damage during Cable end preparation.
Measure IR by megger before commencing the job. Resistance
11.
should be Min 200M
Total length of cable to be prepared (L2) =Length of Mould+ XX mm
12.
for overlap as per the table of sizes: Annexure 2
13. Cables overlap each other by _xx mm
14. Centerline of Overlap is marked.
15. PVC(NA) tape at a distance of L2/2 from centerline of overlap.
Cut and maintain the dimensions of outersheath, Armour, inner
16. sheath (PVC/XLPE cable); Outersheath, Armour, Lead sheath, Paper
belting (PILC Cabel) as per details given in Instruction sheet no. 363.
17. Cores are separated and aligned phase to phase.
18. Overlapped extra length cores are cut.
19. Insulation of core = ½ ferrule length+10mm is removed.
Correct Ferrule size is selected based on the cable size.Ref table:
20.
Annexure 2
Corrosion inhibition paste(M/s Jainson or equivalent) inside the ferrule
21.
is used
All strands are OK before slipping in the ferrule and strands are not
22.
overlaying each other.
No damage to the strands of the cable during stripping of the
23.
insulation.

Sr. Compliance
Action item/Parameters to be checked Remarks
No Yes No N/A
Oxide layers from bared conductor strands are cleaned using a
24. scratch brush. Aluminium and Copper Oxide are non-conductors and
their presence will produce a high resistance joint.
For Aluminium Cable use a Stainless Scratching Brush. Immediately
25. after cleaning exposed cable, slip the Aluminium lug over cable and
commence crimping.
Aluminium crimp lug barrels are pre filled with correct type & amount
26.
of jointing compound.
27. Ferrules connect phases.
Jaws do not overhang ferrule barrel, as this will produce a sharp edge
28.
that will damage the cable strands.
29. Crimp pressure is applied until the jaws meet and the tool “clicks”.
The earthing braid is properly fixed with collet and clamps. It should
30.
be oriented towards the side of the neutral phase(in case of 3 phase)
After crimping the ferrule, remove any irregularities by filling. ,Degrease &
31.
Clean all cores with cleaning liquid.
Separator is removed from the rubber insulating sheet and apply rubber
Insulating sheet over ferrule. Ensure that the rubber insulating sheet
32.
Will cover 10 mm. Min. Core insulation both side of ferrule. Then apply
Two layers of PVC (NA) tape.
Proper Mix of the hardener into the resin: 3-5 mins minimum stirring.
The colour needs to be uniform with generation of heat out of
33.
exothermic reaction. Also, ensure that separation should not occur on
standing long time before pouring.
Before pouring the compound, ensure the following: a) The mould is
34.
properly sealed; b) risers are made to bleed the air out.
Avoid contact of hardener with skin. Clean hand after hardener is
35.
used.
Measure IR by megger after completion the job. Resistance should be
36.
Min 200M .
Wait till the compound has hardened to see that the casting is alright,
37.
Then backfill

38.
