Due to the various cable testing methods commercially available, the following section does not denote “optional” or “required” tests. It is only after careful analysis of all circuit parameters between the testing entity and the cable owner that a preferred testing method should be selected.

In accordance with ICEA, IEC, IEEE and other power cable consensus standards, testing can be performed by means of direct current, power frequency alternating current, or very low frequency alternating current. These sources may be used to perform insulation withstand tests, and diagnostic tests such as partial discharge analysis, and power factor or dissipation factor. The selection can only be made after an evaluation of the available test methods and a review of the installed cable system.

Bolt-torque levels should be in accordance with manufacturer’s published data.

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.
