classification where installed.
Instruments requiring off‐skid connections are to be wired to junction boxes for connection by Others.
Run wiring directly from the end device (skid mounted) using preferably armoured cable or
alternatively conduits to the junction box. Looping or splicing common wires is not permitted for
control wiring. Junction boxes shall be mounted at the skid edge at locations approved by the
Engineer.
Separate Instrument signal levels on the skid, 4 to 20 mA, 24 VDC discrete, 110 VAC, and vibration
signals. Each type of signal is to have its own cable, conduit and junction box (i.e., one box for all 4 to
20 mA).
Control panels may have more than one signal type but ensure the signals are separated and use
separate cable or conduit entries. Take special care to separate AC signals from DC signals.
Provide terminal blocks used for junction boxes and control panels rail‐mounted, 300 V modular type
with screw clamp type connectors. When terminating wires onto end devices with screw terminals,
use spade‐type compression lugs with insulated sleeves.
Install wire markers at all termination points. Identify wiring using heat‐shrink markers with
permanent and legible wire numbers, corresponding to those on the approved wiring diagrams.
Identify terminal blocks in accordance with the approved drawings.
Ensure wire markers bear the instrument tag number.
Ensure any signal in a control panel required to go off skid have terminals clearly marked in the control
panel with the tag number and means for the cable to enter the panel.
Check all instrument wires on the skid for continuity and connections.
All Instrumentation and control cables specifications will be developed during detail engineering
phase of the project. As a minimum the following will apply, tinned copper and generally be installed

Although the two systems may share the same physical ground grid, it is essential that all the
requirements for each system be satisfied and they implemented insulated from each other up to the
connection to the grid. These considerations need to be employed in the design of package equipment
grounding.
Field mounted instrument enclosures will be grounded locally to the main Plant Safety Ground
system. Ensure one (1) connection is made between the instrument ground and the main Plant Safety
Ground in accordance with instrumentation standards.
Control panel enclosures will be grounded to the Plant Safety Ground by a single insulated cable
