specification and drawings. Sec. 4.1
SAES-P-104
A3 Insulate overhead conductors from ground.
Sec. 4.1
Measure the insulation resistance of overhead conductor using a megger

tester. The test voltage should be 5000 volts for rated 5000 volts and
above overhead conductors. Connect megohmmeter between each SAES-P-104
A4
phase-to-phase and each phase-to-ground. Record the insulation Sec. 4.1
resistance of each overhead conductor between phase to phase and
phase to ground for one (1) minute.
On completion of insulation resistance test, each overhead conductor SAES-P-104

A5
shall be grounded to allow residual charge to dissipate. Sec. 4.1
Check the conductor connections & phases identification and color coded SAES-P-104
A6
as per specification and drawings. Sec. 4.1
Check conductor bends to ensure the bending radius is equal to or SAES-P-104

A8 Check for proper conductor support, clamping and blocking.
Sec. 4.1
SAES-P-104
A9 Insulate associated feeder cable cores from ground.
Sec. 4.1
Measure the insulation resistance of feeder cables using a megger

tester, for each core and any metallic armor or sheath grounded at one
end only. Measure insulation resistance at one minute following the SAES-P-104
A10
application of the test voltage. The test voltage should be 5000 volts for Sec. 4.1
5000 volt and above cables. Record the insulation resistance of each
core between phase to phase and phase to ground for one (1) minute.
Record the megohm values of each phase-to-ground and between each

SAES-P-104
