Notes:

80% and 65% refer to the percentages of the factory test voltages specified in AEIC CS5 and CS6. AEIC CS5 and CS6
1
permit testing at 65% test voltage at any time during the period of the guarantee.

AEIC CS5 and CS6, and ANSI/IEEE Standard 400 do not differentiate cables based upon insulation thickness and,
2
consequently, list differing test voltages.

Insure the maximum test voltage does not exceed the voltage limits for potheads and terminators specified in IEEE Std. 48
(IEEE Standard Test Procedures and Requirements for High Voltage AC cable Terminations) or for molded rubber
3
terminations specified in IEEE std.386 ( IEEE Standard for Separable Insulated Connector Systems for Power Distribution
Systems Above 600V), or manufacturer's published data.

In accordance to SAES-P-104, Section 13.2 (e), if separable connectors (elbows) conforming to ANSI/IEEE std. 386 are
used, the high potential test on medium voltage cables may, at the request of the cable Proponent, be performed after
4
installation of the elbows. For new 15 kV cable, when tested with elbows, the test voltage is reduced from 64 kV to 53 kV; for
35 kV cable it remains unchanged at 100 kV DC ( the ICEA cable test value).

B. HIGH POTENTIAL TESTING PROCEDURE

ITEM
TEST RESULTS ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA REFERENCE PASS FAIL N/A RE-TEST DATE
No.

Terminations shall be adequately corona-suppressed by guard ring, field

reduction sphere, or other suitable methods as necessary. Precaution
should be taken to insure that the maximum test voltage does not exceed SAES-P-116
B1
the limits for termination specified in IEEE Standard 48 or manufacturer's Sec. 3.2
specifications.

The D.C. high voltage shall be applied in a minimum of four steps ( each

B4 interval of decay.
Sec. 3.2
(NETA ATS, 2009 Sec. 7.4)

Read the leakage current and plot a curve of leakage currents versus test
voltage on graph paper as the test progresses. Read the leakage current SAES-P-116

at the same time interval for each voltage step. Sec. 3.2
(NETA ATS, 2009 Sec. 7.4)

Stop the test if leakage currents increase excessively or a "knee" appears

in the curve before maximum test voltage is reached.

Upon reaching maximum test voltage, hold the voltage for 15 minutes.
Read the leakage current at 60 seconds intervals and plot a curve of
leakage current versus time on the same graph paper as the step voltage
SAES-P-116
B7 curve. Stop the test if leakage current starts to rise, or decrease and again
