The potential monitoring tubes will be joined together at the male/female threads provided in the
potential monitoring tube. A sufficient length of polypropylene rope (greater than the tank diameter)
should be pulled through the potential monitoring tube. The potential monitoring tube assembly
should be wrapped with the geo-textile material prior to installation through the pre-cast sleeves in
the tank foundation.
The orientation of the monitoring tubes may be adjusted to suit actual site condition such that the
pipe should not jam/obstruct with external fixtures, sump and location of the CP cable exit.
The backfilling on the tubes should be done with care to ensure that the potential monitoring tubes
are not damaged during the backfilling or the compaction process. Smooth movement of reference
electrode should be verified before and after the backfilling of sand.
Monitoring tube installation will be inspected in accordance with the installation check sheets
included in Appendix A.
Permanent Copper-Copper Sulphate reference electrodes (Cu-CuSO4) should be installed near to the
structure and cable from the reference electrode should be terminated to Test station for monitoring
the CP system as shown in CP schematic drawing.
a) The reference electrode should be soaked in potable water for 24 hours just prior to
installation.
b) Before installation, the permanent reference electrode location should be marked and it
should be confirmed that the area is free of any underground metallic services, cables etc.
c) The reference electrode should be installed at the monitoring pipe invert level at a
perpendicular distance of aprrox.100 mm from the pipe.
d) Backfill the reference electrode with native soil and pour additional water to prevent from
drying.
e) After backfilling of the permanent reference electrode, verify reference electrode function
test by measuring the potential with a portable reference electrode.
f) The reference electrode cable tail and monitoring cable should be routed (without splicing)
and terminated inside the respective test station with appropriate cable tags.

check sheets included in Appendix A.
8.4 JUNCTION BOXES
The junction box will be installed as per the approved junction box drawing. The location of junction
box should be as per the approved CP system overall layout drawing. The junction box could also be
mounted on to plant steel structures or walls if possible.
The input and output cables and terminations to the junction box are to be carried out as per
approved schematic drawings. All cables and conduit entry will be through bottom of the box. The
cables will be terminated with permanent identification tag at the designated terminals.
On completion of the cable connections all gaps between cable and conduit will be sealed using
project approved duct seal.
Cables used shall be of sufficient length so as to reach termination point without any joint.
Provide sufficient slack for future maintenance purpose.
All the connections should be checked for proper tightening.
Cable core ferrules are to be provided at end before final termination
Cable should be neatly dressed inside the trench and to be terminated inside junction box.
Junction box will be inspected in accordance with the installation check sheets included in Appendix
A.

Installation Procedure for CP System 23.06.2023

CP cables will be pulled from cable drums by raising the drum on an axle placed through its center to
allow free rotation where long cable lengths are to be installed. For the shorter lengths the cable cut to
suitable size will be used.
The CP cable trenches will be excavated to ensure that the cable is installed at a minimum depth of
700mm when backfilled (minimum trench depth of 850mm to allow for soft sand beneath cable). The
cable will be installed on a 150mm bed of soft sand. The cable will then be covered with a 100mm
layer of soft sand and cable tiles then laid over the cable run. A 200mm layer of selected backfill free
of stones and any other materials potentially damaging to the cable, will be laid over the cable tiles
and cable-warning tape will be laid over this layer. Backfilling will proceed in 150mm to 200mm
layers of selected backfill up to the grade level. If the cables are laid using PVC conduits, soft sand
can be avoided.
All CP cables will be routed in the existing (or) planned electrical trenches/cable tray provided in the
plant as far as possible. Where there is no cable route available, the above procedure is to be
followed.
The routes of all buried positive cable will be marked using cable route markers at 25m intervals and
at changes of direction.
Cables will be brought neatly into Junction Boxes etc, cut to a suitable length and terminated using
the specified cable lugs. A stress relief loop will be provided in each cable and sufficient slack will be
included to allow the cable to be disconnected from its terminal.
For paved areas, the concrete to a depth of minimum 150mm is to be cut open and the cables are to be
laid in PVC conduits and embedded in the concrete. Site Engineers permission/clearance shall be
obtained.
As similar to above procedure, the cable laying across road crossing shall be through GI conduit pipes
instead of PVC conduits.
The size as well as number of the conduit shall be as per the actual requirement depending upon the
cable number and size. The same shall be followed for all conduits.
The cut open shall be properly restored with cement grouting to its original condition after
completion of laying of cables and perform continuity test.
After completion of cable laying and grouting the route shall be identified by arrow mark and "CP
CABLES" marking by paint (Black letters on yellow paint) if require.

Composition of the cement grout shall be as per the requirement and approval from the site Engineer
incharge (EIC) shall be obtained for the same.
Cables should be cut at sufficient lengths to reach destination without any joint.
Care to be taken so that no crisscrossing of cables occurs.
Cable markers shall be provided to mark the cable route.
Proper crimping tools to be used for crimping.
The armoured of all the cables shall be insulated with PVC tape at the end of the cable to
avoid armoured carrying CP current
CP cable installation will be inspected in accordance with the installation check sheets included in
Appendix A.
With the transformer rectifier in the ‘OFF’ position, install positive and negative DC cables through
the appropriate cable duct or conduit in the plinth and the cable glands supplied with the unit. AC
mains cable will be installed and terminated. Flexible PVC cable markers will be fitted to the DC
cables within the transformer rectifier.
Cables will be connected to the appropriate terminals, with the cable lugs and nuts, locknuts and
washers supplied with the transformer rectifier. The cable lugs will be mechanically crimped to the
cable conductor. The cables will be terminated with sufficient slack cable to permit cables to be
removed from the connection terminals.
On completion of the cable connections, all glands will be tightened, with sufficient slack in cable to
permit cables to be removed from the connection terminals. The opening where the cables exit the
duct for buried cables will be sealed with mastic.
