This guide presents the recommended practices and procedures for direct voltage acceptance and maintenance testing of shielded, laminated dielectric insulated power cable systems rated 5 kV to 500 kV used in ac transmission systems. It applies to all types of laminated power cable systems such as paper-insulated metallic-sheathed, high-pressure pipe-type, low-pressure gas-filled, and low and medium pressure self-contained liquid-filled cables that are intended for the transmission or distribution of electric power. The tabulated test levels assume that the cable systems have an effectively grounded neutral system or a grounded metallic shield. The purpose of this guide is to provide uniform practices and procedures for performing direct voltage acceptance and maintenance tests on shielded, laminated power cable systems in the field and to provide guidelines for evaluation of the test results. Revision Standard - Active. The recommended practices and procedures for direct voltage acceptance and maintenance testing of shielded, laminated, dielectric-insulated power cable systems rated 5 kV to 500 kV are presented in this guide. It applies to all types of laminated power cable systems such as paper insulated, lead covered, pipe-type, and pressurized cables that are intended for the transmission or distribution of ac electric power. The tabulated test levels assume that the cable systems have an effectively grounded neutral system or a grounded metallic shield.
