Insulate overhead conductors from ground.(SAES-P-104, Sec. 3.1 and SAES-P-107
A3
S A Pre-Commissioning Form # P-041 & Form # P-042) Sec. 3.1

Measure the insulation resistance of overhead conductor using a

megger tester. The test voltage should be 5000 volts for rated 5000 volts
and above overhead conductors. Connect megohmmeter between each
SAES-P-107
A4 phase-to-phase and each phase-to-ground. Record the insulation
Sec. 3.1
resistance of each overhead conductor between phase to phase and
phase to ground for one (1) minute.(SAES-P-104, Sec. 3.1 and S A Pre-
Commissioning Form # P-041 & Form # P-042)

On completion of insulation resistance test, each overhead conductor

SAES-P-107
A5 shall be grounded to allow residual charge to dissipate.(SAES-P-104,
Sec. 3.1
Sec. 3.1 and S A Pre-Commissioning Form # P-041 & Form # P-042)
Check the conductor connections, phase identification and color coding Schedule Q

as per specification and drawings.(NETA ATS, Sec. 7.3.3.1.9) Sec. 1.3
Check conductor bends to ensure the bending radius is equal to or
Schedule Q
A7 greater than the minimum bending radius specified.(NEC 110.3 B, NEC
Sec. 1.3
300.34 and NETA ATS, Sec. 7.3.3.1.6)

Sec. 1.3
Insulate associated feeder cable cores from ground.(SAES-P-104, Sec. SAES-P-107
A9
3.1 and S A Pre-Commissioning Form # P-041 & Form # P-042) Sec. 3.1

Measure the insulation resistance of feeder cables using a megger

tester, for each core and any metallic armor or sheath grounded at one
end only. Measure insulation resistance at one minute following the
application of the test voltage. The test voltage should be 5000 volts for SAES-P-107
A10
5000 volt and above cables. Record the insulation resistance of each Sec. 3.1
core between phase to phase and phase to ground for one (1) minute.
(SAES-P-104, Sec. 3.1 and S A Pre-Commissioning Form # P-041 &
Form # P-042)

Record the megohm values of each phase-to-ground and between each

phase-to-phase, along with the description of the equipment, the voltage SAES-P-107
A11
level, humidity, temperature, time, and the date of the test.(SAES-P-104, Sec. 3.1
Sec. 13.6 and S A Pre-Commissioning Form # P-041 & Form # P-042)
On completion of insulation resistance test, the cable shall be grounded
SAES-P-107
A12 to allow residual charge to dissipate.(SAES-P-104, Sec. 3.1 and S A Pre-
Sec. 3.1
Commissioning Form # P-041 & Form # P-042)
Perform a physical inspection of the overhead feeders to ensure there is
Schedule Q
A13 not any damage to the poles, conductors at termination points,
Sec. 6.4
insulators, jumpers, cable supports, stays etc. prior to energization.
