shapes.
2 Installation of a device for earthing switch
Consignment of the cable compartment
J Visually check the absence of voltage.
J Check than the earthing switch is closed.
J Carry out the mandatory audit for
absence of voltage on each phase.
J Repeat for the other two phases.
Instructions for cables test on
33kV Incoming cubicles
CAUTION
All of the operations explained in this manual
should be performed on the cubicle out of
service (during the commissioning or out of
service).
The clamps of tightening should be selected
and adapted to anchor points considered.
J Switch off the LV circuit breakers
secondary VT in the LV cabinet.
J Fix the master jaw of the devices for
earthing on the circuit main earth.
J Switch the contacts of VT’s primary

3 Test procedure (tests of cables)

J Open earthing switch for tests.

Example of cable test phase L1

Connect the injection clamp on phase L1.
Put insulated gloves.
Disconnect the jaw of the devices for earthing
on phase L1.
Note: The other 2 phases are always
grounded.
Test this cable phase L1 (Max 100V DC
current continuous).

Reconnect the jaw of the devices for earthing

on phase L1.
Disconnect the clamp injection on phase L1

Repeat for the other two phases.

After the tests of three phases

Close the earthing switch.

Reconnect the contacts of VT’s primary

connections.
