IEEE 400-2001

This Guide lists the various field test methods that are presently available or under development to perform field tests on insulated, shielded power cable systems rated 5 kV through 500 kV. A summary of advantages and disadvantages of the methods will be included. Users should avail themselves of th technical papers that are included as References and in the Bibliography before deciding whether to perform a test and which test to utilize. In making such decisions, consideration should be given to the performance of the entire cable system, including joints, terminations, and associated equipment.
