Description / Abstract:
This guide presents the recommended practices and procedures for
direct voltage acceptance and maintenance testing of shielded,
laminated dielectric insulated power cable systems rated 5 kV and
above. It applies to all types of laminated power cable systems
such as paper-insulated lead covered, pipe-type, and pressurized
cables that are intended for the transmission or distribution of
electric power. The tabulated test levels assume that the cable
systems have an effectively grounded neutral system or a grounded
metallic shield.
Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to provide uniform practices and
procedures for performing direct voltage acceptance and maintenance
tests on shielded, laminated power cable systems in the field and
to provide guidelines for evaluation of the test results.
