4 FAT Test requirements for cable
FAT test shall be in accordance with applicable standard of MV cable. The following test items shall
be carried out according to relevant standards. ZTTSC reserves the right to impose additional
charges for additional test as per request from customer or consultant(s).
No. Test item
Routine test
1 Measurement of electrical resistance of conductors
2 Voltage test
3 Partial discharge test
Sample test
1 Conductor examination
2 Measurement of thickness of insulation
3 Measurement of thickness of non-metallic sheath
4 Measurement of external diameter
5 Hot-set test for XLPE insulation
5 PACKING AND DRUM
ZTTSC cables are packed on wooden or iron wooden or iron drums. During transportation, right tools
should be used to avoid damaging the package and to handle with ease. Cables should be protected
from moisture; kept away from high temperature and fire sparks; protected from over bending and
crushing; protected from mechanical stress and damage.
The inner end of cable is then sealed with heat shrinkable end cap to prevent ingress of water and is
made available for testing. The outer end of cable is equipped with heat shrinkable end cap. Outer
sheath marking legend can be changed according to user’s requests.
