The Government has established a mandatory inspection point prior to

SECTION 26 05 13.00 10 Page 13

Contractor performing any medium voltage cable cuts or demolition. Notify the Contracting Officer 48 hours in advance of this mandatory inspection point.

As part of the mandatory inspection point, positively identify and label the medium voltage cable to be worked utilizing an electronic cable identifier. Ensure the process of identifying and labeling the cable to be worked is witnessed by the Government. Cable cutting and demolition of any medium voltage cable can occur only after approval by the Contracting Officer.

Cut medium voltage cables and conductors by indirect means using cable cutters specifically designed to be operated remotely only. Cutting of medium voltage cables and conductors by direct means is not permitted.

3.2 INSTALLATION

Install medium-voltage cables in accordance with MEW R-1, MEW S-1NFPA 70 , NFPA 70E, and IEEE C2 . In the event of a conflict, MEW and IEEE C2 shall govern.

Refer to contract provisions for safety submittals and requirements associated with working in the vicinity of energized cables and equipment. The use of arc-flash and shock prevention equipment and personal protective equipment is mandatory.

Notify the Contracting Officer 14 working days prior to an outage that requires testing for phasing and phase rotation of medium voltage electrical systems. The Government will identify and tag the phasing of equipment and provide to the Contractor, in writing, the results of phasing and phase rotation tests. The Contractor is responsible for maintaining the phasing and phase rotation tests, and is responsible for maintaining the phasing, and matching the existing phase rotation and phasing when installing conductors in existing electrical systems.

Install the cables in the following locations:

Exterior:

a. In underground duct banks

b. In conduit above and below grade

c. In manholes

d. And by direct burial

Inside Buildings:

a. By open wire method

b. On insulator hooks

SECTION 26 05 13.00 10 Page 14 ties at a minimum of 3000 millimeter intervals.

Secure cables with metallic cable clamps, straps, hangers, or other approved supporting devices to tunnel walls, ceilings, and in new or existing cable trays mounted vertically, where the tray bottom is in a vertical plane.

When field cuts or other damage occurs to the PVC coating, apply a liquid PVC patch to maintain the integrity of the coating. After the installation is complete, perform an inspection to ensure that the coating has no voids, pinholes, or cuts.

Before installing new armored cable, ensure that cable trays are properly secured and supported. Add new permanent or temporary tray support devices as required to preclude cable tray failure during cable pulling or after cable is installed.

Installed cable or conductors of a primary distribution system will be rejected by the Government when placed:

a. Openly in cable trays or openly racked along interior walls

b. In the same raceway or conduit with AC/DC control circuits or AC power circuits operating at less than 600 volts

c. In a manner allowing the cable to support its own weight

3.2.1 Protection During Splicing Operations

Provide a blower to force fresh air into manholes or confined areas where free movement or circulation of air is obstructed. Have waterproof protective coverings available on the work site to protect against moisture while a splice is being made. Use pumps to keep manholes dry during splicing operations. Never make a splice or termination with the interior of a cable exposed to moisture. Moisture-test the conductor insulation paper before the splice is made. Use a manhole ring at least 150 millimeter above ground around the manhole entrance to keep surface water from entering the manhole. Before starting the splice, plug unused ducts and stop water seepage through ducts in use.

3.2.2 Duct Cleaning

Thoroughly clean ducts before installation of power cables. Pull a standard flexible mandrel through each duct to loosen particles of earth, sand, or foreign material in the line. Use a mandrel that is not less than 300 millimeter long with a diameter 13 millimeter less than the inside diameter of the duct. Then pull a brush with stiff bristles through each duct to remove the loosened particles. Use a brush with a diameter that is the same as or slightly larger than the diameter of the duct.

3.2.3 Pulling Cables in Ducts, Manholes and Utility Tunnels

Submit a Pulling Plan including calculations of pulling tension and side wall pressure anticipated, and the maximum allowable pulling tension for each pull. Do not perform any pull until Government reviews and approves the pulling plan.

Pull medium-voltage cables into ducts and utility tunnels with equipment designed for this purpose, including a power-driven winch, cable-feeding

SECTION 26 05 13.00 10 Page 15 flexible tube guide, cable grips, and lubricants. Employ a sufficient number of trained personnel and equipment to ensure correct installation of the cable.

Set up the cable reel at the side of the manhole or tunnel hatch opening and above the duct or hatch level, allowing the cable to enter through the opening without reverse bending. Install a flexible tube guide through the opening in a manner that prevents the cable from rubbing against the edges of structural members.

Ensure that the pulling force for a cable grip on lead-sheathed cable does not exceed the force calculated in the pulling plan for the sheath cross-sectional area. Use a dynamometer in the pulling line to ensure that the pulling force is not exceeded. Ensure that the pulling force for a nonmetallic-sheathed cable does not exceed the smaller of 4400 newton or a value computed from the following equation:

TM = 0.036 X N X CM

Where: TM = maximum allowable pulling tension in newton

N = number of conductors in the cable

CM = cross-sectional area of each conductor in square millimeter

3.2.3.1 Allowable Sidewall Pressure

The allowable sidewall pressure is the smaller of 7300 newtons per meter of bend radius or the cable manufacturer's recommended maximum value.

Show in the pulling plan submittal the calculations for allowable tension and sidewall pressure as well as the anticipated tension and sidewall pressure for each pull in the project.

Unreel cable from the top of the reel, carefully controlling payout.

Attach cable to be pulled through a swivel to the main pulling wire by means of a pulling eye installed by the factory or approved cable splicer.

Attach pulling eyes to the cable conductors of the 3-1/C circuit to prevent damage to the cable structure. Pull the entire 3-1/C circuit simultaneously.

3.2.3.2 Minimum Bending Radius

Minimum bending radius during cable pulling operations is 760 millimeter.

For permanent cable bending/racking the minimum bending radius is 12 times cable diameter.

3.2.3.3 Coating of Cables

Liberally coat cables with a suitable cable-pulling lubricant as it enters the tube guide or duct. Do not use greaser and oil lubricants. Cover nonmetallic sheathed cables with wire-pulling compounds, when required, which have no deleterious effects on the cable. Use rollers, sheaves or tube guides, around which the cable is pulled, conforming to the 760 millimeter minimum bending radius of the cable during the pulling operations.

SECTION 26 05 13.00 10 Page 16

3.2.3.4 Pulling Speed

Pull cables into ducts at a speed not to exceed 15 meters per minuteand not in excess of maximum permissible pulling tension specified by the cable manufacturer. Cable pulling using a vehicle is not be permitted.

Stop pulling operations immediately with any indication of binding or obstruction and do not resume until such difficulty is corrected. Provide sufficient slack for free movement of cable due to expansion or contraction.

3.2.3.5 Cable Splice Support And Sealing

Firmly support cable splices made up in manholes on cable racks as indicated. Do not pull cable splices in ducts. Overlap cable ends at the ends of a section to provide sufficient undamaged cable for splicing.

Overlap cables to be spliced in manholes to the centerline of the proposed joint by not less than 600 millimeters.

Immediately seal cut ends of cables cut in the field to prevent entrance of moisture with heat-shrinkable molded cable end caps.

3.2.4 Splices and Terminations

Make splices in manholes or tunnels except where cable terminations are specifically indicated. Expedite splicing and terminating of cables in order to minimize exposure and cable deterioration.

Use only equipment and materials recommended by the splice manufacturer including calibrated cutting equipment to ensure consistent cut depths when preparing cable ends for the application of the splice kit. Connect the cable concentric neutral/shield wires across one side of the splice by split bundling the splice neutral wiring and connecting each bundle set to a continuous No. 4 AWG solid bare copper conductor via two compression conductors. Ensure the No. 4 AWG conductor extrudes from the cable splice jacket and connects to the manholes grounding system. Make all connections within the splice utilizing long barrel-type compression connectors and appropriate compression tools with proper size dies to ensure a satisfactory mechanical and electrical joint. Ensure bare connections of concentric neutral/shield wires are either contained within the splice kit or sealed via an additional outer covering,consisting of a heavy wall, heat-shrinkable tubing containing adhesive material (mastic) that melts as heat is applied and the outer tubing shrinks to form a moisture proof environmental seal. Provide outer tubing conforming to ANSI C119.1 . Ensure splice meets the requirements of IEEE 404 for a 15 kV rating and is rated by the manufacturer for use on 15 kV class feeder cable systems. Take extra precautions to seal around the exit area of the bare copper jumpers with an additional mastic per the splice manufacturer's recommendations.

Terminate cables in approved cable terminations, rated Class 1 per IEEE 48 .

Dry terminations with medium voltage pennants, preformed, and hand wrapped stress cones can be used for terminating cables. Provide terminations with adequate means for making external connections to the cable conductors of single-conductor cables (phase and concentric neutral), protecting the cable insulation against moisture, oil, or other contaminants. Take extra precautions in physically protecting and supporting cables, and maintaining the insulation level of the cable.

Ensure that installation includes built-up or prefabricated heat or cold

SECTION 26 05 13.00 10 Page 17 shrink stress-relief cones at the terminals of all shielded cables and at the terminals of single-conductor lead-covered cables rated 15 kV and above, ungrounded.

Field-fabricate cable splices from splicing kits supplied by and in accordance with the cable manufacturer's recommendations for the type, size, and electrical characteristics of the cable specified. Locate cable splices in manholes midway between the cable racks on the walls of the manholes and supported with cable arms at approximately the same elevation as the enclosing duct.

If cable splices in the tunnel are not installed in cable trays, install the cable splices on cable racks or by other approved methods that minimize physical stress on the splice connections. Support splices at approximately the same elevation as the installed cable except where space limitations or existing cable length limitations make this method impractical or impossible.

Support all universal demountable splices in a manner that minimizes physical stress on the splice connections. Support each cable end termination using a pair of saddle supports under the cable end termination or cable with a minimum 300 millimeter and a maximum 750 millimeter separation between the supports. Secure the cable end termination and cable to the supports in a manner that prevents movement of termination or cable at the support. Install saddle supports on a galvanized steel framing channel that is anchored to the wall, securely fastened to the cable tray, or installed by other approved methods.

3.2.5 Fireproofing

Provide fireproofing (Arc Proofing) for individual cable conductor in manholes, handholes and vaults which carry current at 2200 volts or more.

Tightly wrap strips of fireproofing tape around each cable spirally in half-lapped wrapping. Extend the tape 25 millimeter into the ducts. To prevent unraveling, random wrap the fireproofing tape the entire length of the fireproofing with pressure-sensitive glass cloth tape.

3.2.6 Cable Tag Installation

Install cable tags in each manhole and at each termination as specified.

Install cable tags over the fireproofing and position the tags so that they are clearly visible without disturbing any cabling or wiring in the manholes and equipment.

3.3 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

After the installation of power cables has been completed, including splices, joints, and terminations, and before the cable is energized, subject each medium voltage cable to field testing in accordance with the following requirements:

a. Provide test equipment, labor, and trained technical personnel as necessary to perform the electrical acceptance tests.

b. Record all tests on an approved medium voltage cable test form and submit completed forms to the Contracting Officer.

c. Make arrangements to have tests witnessed and approved by the

SECTION 26 05 13.00 10 Page 18

Contracting Officer.

d. Isolate each power-cable installation completely from extraneous electrical connections at cable splices/terminations and joints.

Observe all safety precautions.

e. Ensure each power cable is first given an insulation resistance test using a meg-ohmmeter with a voltage output of at least 2,500-volts.

Apply test for a long enough time to fully charge the cable (no less than one minute). Record readings as indicated on forms provided.

The minimum reading is 5000 megohms at an ambient temperature of 20 degrees C. Correct readings taken at other than 20 degrees C ambient temperatures accordingly.

f. Conform testing to NETA ATS, and NFPA 70B.

Upon successful completion of the insulation resistance tests, subject the cable to a direct-current high-potential test for five minutes applying test voltages in accordance with AEIC CS1 and IEEE 400.2 for paper-impregnated, lead-covered cable; AEIC CS8 and IEEE 400.2 for cross-linked, polyethylene-insulated cable; and AEIC CS8 and IEEE 400.2 for ethylene propylene rubber-insulated cable.

Record leakage current readings every 30 seconds during the first two minutes and every minute thereafter for the remainder of the test. When the leakage current continues to increase after the first minute, immediately terminate the test and take steps to find and correct the fault. When a second test becomes necessary, repeat this test procedure.

Upon satisfactory completion of the high-potential test, give the cable a second insulation resistance test as before.

Provide results of the second insulation resistance test that agree with the first test and that indicate no evidence that the cable has been permanently injured by the high-potential test.

Record test data identifying the cable and location, megohm readings versus time, leakage current readings versus time, and cable temperature versus time.

Final acceptance depends upon the satisfactory performance of the cable under test. Do not energize cable until recorded test data has been approved by the Contracting Officer.

Perform radiographic tests on all potheads at the discretion of the Contracting Officer to determine if voids exist in the pothead. Rework unacceptable terminations at no additional expense to the Government.
