 METHOD STATEMENT
METHOD STATEMENT FOR 6.6KV CABLE (3CX150 MM2)JOINTING AND TERMINATION

This method statement describes the activities and performance of associated quality control
activities related to cable jointing and termination, confirming to relevant specifications,
documents and local regulations.

B. PURPOSE

The purpose of this method statement is to make 6.6 KV 3C X 150MM2 XLPE/SWA Cable
jointing and termination (jointing and termination kit details to be included) inter connections.

C. PERMIT

Permit to work will be obtained as follows.

 WORK PERMIT.

 HOT WORK PERMIT.

D. TOOLS AND EQUIPMENTS.

INSULATION RESISTANCE TESTER 5.0KV

While using all equipments and tools, a necessary approval HSE plan and regulation to be
adopted as per QP standards to give more priority to the safety issues. During execution all
necessary safety procedures shall be followed for a smooth working environment.

E. PROCEDURES OF WORK / METHODOLOGY

• Initially the cable is tested at 5.0KV MEGGER for 1 minute per phase to phase and
phase to earth.
• Remove the over sheath of the cable accordingly. Remove the armour from the end of
the over sheath. Attach a wire binder around the armour 20mm from the end of the
over sheath. Clean the end of the over sheath for a length of about 250mm. slide the
sealing sleeve over the cable end. Disassemble the clamping ring lug down towards
over the cable.

• Remove the bedding 20mm above the end of the armour. Attach an earth lead to each
metal tape shield ( if any ) or the lead sheath as appropriate, by soldering or any other
equivalent method. Pass the end of the sheath lead down through the clamping and
connect them to the lugs of the clamping ring.
• Spread the armour wires and screw the other clamping ring loosely to the clamping
ring. Wrap the sealant tape around the earth conductor and the over sheath, so that it
will be just below the armour wire ends.
• Tighten the clamping ring. Bend the armour wires back and bind the ends to the over
sheath with wire avoid any sharp wire ends sticking out. Wire ends should be covered
with plastic tape.
• Position the outer sleeve centrally over the clamping rings. Shrink into place starting at
the centre. Shrink the lower end first and work towards the upper end. Installation of
armour earthing assembly complete.
• Separate the cores. Wrap an earth round each core and solder tack it to the metal tape
shield (or attach the earth lead by any other equivalent method) fill the earth lead with
solder to form a 30mm moisture block 30mm from the over sheath end. Remove the
release paper and wrap one layer of sealant tape (Red) round the oversheath end for
80mm underneath the earth lead.
• Bend and shape the cores into their final position. Cut the cross to the required length.
Place a temporary wire binder around the cores. Tear off the tape shielded against the
wire binder. Thoroughly remove the core screen to 20mm above the metal tape shield
cut. The surface of the insulation free from all traces of conductive material. All
irregularities should be smoothened.
• Cut the cable to the required length and remove the over sheath. Leave enough length
to set the core into final position. Clean and degrease the end of the over sheath for
about 100mm.
• Remove the wire binder from the end of the metal tape shield. Remove the release
paper wrap the void filling strip (yellow) for 5mm onto the metal tape shield, containing
over the core screen and 10mm onto the insulation. Stretch the strip to half of it’s
original width to achieve a fine thin edge onto the insulation. Place the stress control
tubing (Black) over the cores and position them 70mm above the over sheath cut.
Shrink down the tubing starting at the bottom and working upwards.
• Remove the release paper and slide the breakout over the cross. Pull the breakout as
far down the crutch as possible. Shrink the breakout into place starting at the centre.
Work first towards the lower end and then shrink the turrets onto the core.
• Remove the release paper from the red tubing. Place the tubing over the cross with the
sealant coated end downwards. Push the tubing over the breakout turrets as far as
possible and shrink it down starting at the crutch and working upwards. Tie the
shielding wires or the earth lead with the wire binder to the over sheath below the
breakout. Gather the shielding wires together to form a n earth end.
• Cut back the insulation according to the dimension K=depth of cable lug barrel hole
+5mm. install the cable lugs clean and degrease the insulation and the lugs. Cut the
tubing back onto the connecting barrel if necessary. Post heat the palm of the lug until
a bead of mastic appears around the top of the tubing. Allow the termination to cool
before applying any mechanical strain. The skirts should be shrink and placed in proper
position of the cable.

F. HOUSE KEEPING

The working area will be kept clean & tidy at all time during the execution and upon
completion of work.

G. INSPECTION

The Project Engineer will raise the inspection request to Petra Solar for inspection and
certification of the installation. Prior to the Petra Solar inspection, the site supervisors shall
inspect the installation to ensure the compliance of specification and drawings.

H. RISK ASSESSMENTS

A separate statement shall be submitted in hand.

I. RISK CONTROLS

A separate statement shall be submitted in hand.
