Notes:
1 ‘Voltages higher than those listed, up to 80% of system BIL, may be considered, but the age and operatin
environment of the system should be taken into aecount. The user is urged to consult the suppliers of the cable
and any/all accessories before applying the high volt
2 When older cables or other types/classes of cables or other equipment such as transformers, switchgear,
motors, etc. are connected to the cable to be tested, voltages lower than those shown in the table may be
necessary to comply with the limitations imposed by such interconnected cables and equipment. Soe IEEE 9S
[BS] and Table 1 of IEEE C37.20.2-1999 [B7]
3 Ifthe test voltage exceeds 50% of system BIL, surge protection against excessive overvoltages induced by
flashovers at the termination should be provided.
4 Itis strongly recommended that the user consult with the manufaeturer(s) ofall eomponents that will be
subjected to such testing before performing any tests on eables and cable accessories rated 11 5kV andhigher.
5 If'should be noted that this table and the test procedures suggested in this guide do not necessarily agree with
the recommendations of other organizations, such as those of the Association of Edison Illuminating Companies
[BI], (B2], [B3], [B4]. Where there is concern, a user should consult the supplier of the cable and accessories to
ascertain that the components will withstand the test.
