7.0 HEALTH AND SAFETY ARRANGEMENTS

The hazards associated with the Cable Pulling & Termination of
MV Cables have documented (Ref: Job Hazard analysis Doc. No.
HSE/RA/__. Control measures as identified in the documents
will be complied with the approved Project HSE Plan.
8.0 PROCEDURE
8.1 Preparation
8.1.1 Excavation

Permit to Work (PTW) shall be raised for the excavation

clearly mentioning the location of work, size of
excavation and levels.

Excavations area shall be surveyed and marked to the

lines and levels as shown on the drawings.

The area of excavation will be cordoned off using safety

devices.

Ensure the working area at any confined space is free

from any Hazardous Gas by proper Gas testing using the
Gas testing instrument.

8.1.2 Materials

Not necessary for the construction shall be removed

carefully and stored neatly for reinstating after the
construction works.

The material received from the client shall be stored in

designated area of store.

Arrangements shall be made to protect against effects of

weather and environment.

8.2 Cable Pulling

Insulation resistance of the cables shall be checked

before laying cables.

After the test, the end of the cable shall be sealed to

prevent the ingress of moisture.

Location of the panels / equipment shall be identified.

Cables shall be lubricated if bends in conduits are

encountered in a run to facilitate drawing in.

Cables must not be bent to a radius of less than 12 times

the overall diameter of the cable.

Rollers must be used where cables are installed in an

open trench using a pulling rope and eye; cable rollers
are to be used at frequent intervals to support the cables
and must never be more than 3 meters apart.

The rollers are to be placed securely to prevent

movement.

The pulling rope must be equipped with a swivel and be

attached to the cable by a stocking grip with pulling eye.

The cable drum intended for cable pulling shall be

identified as per that indicated in the drum schedule.

The cable drums shall be un-packed and placed on a

cable roller, as required.

Cable laying will generally start from one end of the route
length or at any suitable point, as necessary.

Depending on the weight and size of the drum, suitable

size of the cable rolling shaft (Spindle) shall be placed
inside the central axis of the drum.

Suitable jacks shall be placed firmly on the ground and

jacked-up to allow clearance from the ground depending
on the size of the cable drum.

The drum shall be lifted by required equipment and

placed on the jacks.

The cable drum will be correctly positioned and the

direction of cable pulling as indicated by arrow on the
drum shall be complied.

The cable shall be drawn into the trench smoothly with a

minimum of stops and at an average speed of between
9-12 meters per minute, to avoid irregular movement.

8.3 Cable Termination & Installation

Termination point inside the panels / equipment shall be

considered for suitable spare length to be left available
during pulling of cable termination.

After cutting the cable to the required length the

termination work will be conducted as per ADDC
Standard.

Jointing and Termination will be carried out as per ADDC

standards. All jointing and termination work will be
carried out by trained technicians, experienced in such
work for the operating voltage concerned.

Proper crimping tools shall be used compression type

lugs. All cables are to be terminated used glands of
proper type and size as per area classification.

The gland shall be assembled strictly in accordance with

manufacturers instruction, particular attention being
paid to ensure good mechanical and electrical contact

between parts without excessive strain or distortion of

cable.

The entire body of the cable must enter the gland. The
cable shall be on a straight axis from a point at least six
diameter before entering the gland. Seals shall be
checked for correct size at the point of application.

Unused cable entries shall be closed with plug suitable

for the degree of protection classification.

After completion of indoor and outdoor termination the

cable is ready for Testing.

8.4 Testing & Commissioning

The following calibrated testing instruments will be used:

1 KV / 5 KV IR Test Kit - 1 no.

Multi Meter - 1 no.
Continuity Tester - 1 no.
Continuity Tester - 1 no.
Torque wrench - 1 no.
VLF - Test Kit

Before starting the test, the corresponding Circuit

Breakers at both ends of the cables are racked out and
earthed properly.

Test will be conducted at the MV panel end. The opposite

end of the cable termination will be secured & protected.
Testing engineer will be at the end where high voltage is
applied and another Engineer to monitor at the opposite
end of the cable.

Insulation Resistance will be done first: (a) between

termination lugs; (b) Phase, Neutral and Earth
termination lug; (c) conductor to termination lug. This will
be done one minute each at 5kV, and the results are
noted as per approved test report format.
