    INSPECTION AND TEST PROCEDURES


    7.3.2 Cables, Low-Voltage, 600-Volt Maximum
    1. Visual and Mechanical Inspection
    1. Compare cable data with drawings and specifications.

    2. Inspect exposed sections of cable for physical damage and correct connection in accordance
    with the single-line diagram.

    3. Inspect bolted electrical connections for high resistance using one or more of the following
    methods:

    1. Use of a low-resistance ohmmeter in accordance with Section 7.3.2.2.

    2. Verify tightness of accessible bolted electrical connections by calibrated torque-wrench


    method in accordance with manufacturer’s published data or Table 100.12.

    3. Perform thermographic survey in accordance with Section 9.

    4. Inspect compression-applied connectors for correct cable match and indentation.

    5. Inspect for correct identification and arrangements.

    6. Inspect cable jacket insulation and condition.

    2. Electrical Tests
    1. Perform resistance measurements through bolted connections with low-resistance ohmmeter, if
    applicable, in accordance with Section 7.3.2.1.

    2. Perform insulation-resistance test on each conductor with respect to ground and adjacent
    conductors. Applied potential shall be 500 volts dc for 300-volt rated cable and 1000 volts dc
    for 600-volt rated cable. Test duration shall be one minute.

    3. Perform continuity tests to insure correct cable connection.

    *4. Verify uniform resistance of parallel conductors.

    3. Test Values
    3.1 Test Values – Visual and Mechanical
    1. Compare bolted connection resistance values to values of similar connections. Investigate
    values which deviate from those of similar bolted connections by more than 50 percent of the
    lowest value. (7.3.2.1.3.1)

    2. Bolt-torque levels shall be in accordance with manufacturer’s published data. In the absence of
    manufacturer’s published data, use Table 100.12. (7.3.2.1.3.2)

    3. Results of the thermographic survey shall be in accordance with Section 9. (7.3.2.1.3.3)


    * Optional

    7. INSPECTION AND TEST PROCEDURES
    7.3.2 Cables, Low-Voltage, 600-Volt Maximum (continued)
    3.2 Test Values – Electrical
    1. Compare bolted connection resistance values to values of similar connections. Investigate
    values which deviate from those of similar bolted connections by more than 50 percent of the
    lowest value.

    2. Insulation-resistance values shall be in accordance with manufacturer’s published data. In the


    absence of manufacturer’s published data, use Table 100.1.Values of insulation resistance less
    than this table or manufacturer’s recommendations shall be investigated.

    3. Cable shall exhibit continuity.

    4. Deviations in resistance between parallel conductors shall be investigated.

    * Optional
