7. Installation Procedures General


7.1 Ensure that the work area is ready and safe to start the installation of LV Cable &
Wires
7.2 Ensure the installation of LV Cables & Wires are carried out in accordance with
manufacturers installation recommendations, requirement of applicable standards and
in accordance with recognized industrial practices and specified in project specification
to ensure that installation complies with requirements.
7.3 Prior to start the installation, refer to the approved shop drawings related to the area
of installation and ensure that required materials are available at site as per approved
material submittals.
7.4 Ensure the materials are stored properly and there is no mark of damage or
deformity of any kind before issuing the material from site store. All materials and
accessories should always be free of dust, scale, or oil.
7.5 Ensure that the issued materials are of approved specifications / submittals and as
per the requirement of the area shop drawing
7.6 Care shall be taken to avoid direct exposure of cables to solar radiation in storage
area and at installed area.
7.7 Wrenches shall not be used to pull cables.
7.8 Do not installed through joint in cables.
7.9 Do not route cables below water services pipework.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR CABLES

7.10 The total cable route shall be inspected to ensure that the routing is complete,
either on ground or on cable trays, as per approved layout and free from sharp edges
and sharp objects.
7.11 As per cable cutting schedule, site electrical supervisor will ensure that the cable
drums are shifted to the correct location, where cabling has to started for any particular
feeder.
7.12 The trays shall be curved enough at the right angles to allow to lay the cable with
correct bending radius, without any sharp bends, knits.
7.13 Where more power cables are run together, adequate cable tray should be
provided considering the spacing as per specification. Spaced apart by at least one
cable diameter (of larger cable) throughout the length of the cable run.)
7.14 Cable rollers shall be placed inside trench/ on cable tray in line and angle rollers
will be used at all the turnings of trench/ on cable tray.
7.15 Cable laying shall be started by rotating the drum in a direction recommended by
manufacturer and as indicated on drums. The site supervision team will ensure that the
undue stress on pull is not applied to cable, while laying the cables.
7.16 Cables shall be identified at the both ends and in between convenience interval on
riser, identification bands as per approved material and approved cable schedule.
7.17 Cables shall be dressed properly, Secure cables to cable tray using traps / heavy
duty ties where the cables are fixed to a vertical cable tray or ties where the cable tray
surface is horizontal, without any overlapping. Ensure that the cable distance is
maintained as per approved shop drawing, as per manufacturer’s recommendations
and as per general engineering practices.
7.18 Earth conductor shall be laid parallel along with cables and tide along with the
cable at suitable intervals.
7.19 Where cables passes through a floor or wall, sealing material should be provided
and that area should be sealed properly (from both sides).
7.20 On completion of cable laying and dressing, continuity and insulation resistance
test with (1000V Insulation Tester) shall be carried out and shall be recorded. Cable
ends shall be sealed properly, till the glanding and termination.
7.21 All conductors requiring bolted connection shall be terminated with compression
lugs using an automatic compression crimping type tool.
7.22 Cable lugs shall be tinned copper compression type.
7.23 Terminations to be carried out as per standard and approved procedure.
