Full Description

Scope

This guide presents procedures and recommended test voltage values for acceptance and maintenance high-direct-voltage testing of shielded power cable systems. It applies to all types of shielded insulated power cable systems rated 5 kV and above and is intended primarily for the transmission or distribution of power. The tabulated test levels assume the usual effectively grounded neutral system or a grounded shield. Consideration may be given to modifying the test voltage levels as may be appropriate for overinsulated cables and accessories. This guide is not intended to apply to unshielded power cables, communication cables, control cables, and high frequency or other special purpose cables. It is recognized that the procedures and tests outlined here may be applied to cables outside this scope and that information of some value may thereby be obtained.

Purpose

The purpose of this guide is: 1) To provide uniform procedures for performing high-direct-voltage acceptance tests and maintenance tests on shielded power cable systems (including accessories) in the field; 2) To provide guidelines for evaluation of the test results

Abstract

Revision Standard - Superseded.Superseded by 400-2001. Not available to resellers. Procedures and recommended test voltage values for acceptance and maintenance high-direct-voltage testing of shielded power cable systems are set forth. They apply to all types of shielded, insulated power cable. The aim is to provide uniform test procedures and guidelines for evaluation of the test results. This guide is not intended to apply to unshielded power cables, communication cables, control cables, high-frequency cables, or other special-purpose cables, nor does it purport to require that testing be performed, either at the time of installation or maintenance.
