1.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of this method statement is to make 13.8/20 kV (1x400 sq.mm) Cable
Jointing and Termination of FIC 1, 2 & 3 Interconnectors.
2.0 SCOPE
This procedure is general in nature and will be used in conjunction with manufacturer’s
instructions. The method statement describes the activities and performance of associated
quality control activities related to Cable Jointing and Termination confirming to relevant
specifications, documents and local regulations.
3.0 TOOLS AND EQUIPMENTS

 Megger
 Multimeter
 Hydraulic Crimping Tools
 Hand Tool Set
 Propane Gas with Torch and Regulator.
While using all equipments, necessary approved HSE plan and regulation to be
adopted as per ARAMCO standards to give more priority to the safety issues. During
execution all necessary safety procedures to be followed for a smooth working
environment
4.0 METHODOLOGY
 Initially the cable is megger at 5kv for 1min. per phase to phase and phase to earth.
 Remove the over sheath of the cable accordingly. Remove the armour from the end of
the over sheath. Attach a wire binder around the armour 20mm from the end of the
over sheath. Clean the end of the over sheaths for a length of about 250mm. Slide the

sealing sleeve over the cable end. Disassemble the clamping rings. Slide one
clamping ring lug downwards over the cable.
 Remove the bedding 20mm above the end of the armour. Attach an earth lead to each
metal tape shield (if any) or the lead sheath, as appropriate, by soldering or any other
equivalent method. Pass the end of the earth lead down through the clamping ring and
connect them to the lugs of clamping ring.
 Spread the armour wires and screw the other clamping ring loosely to the lugged
clamping ring. Attach the earth conductor to one lug of the clamping ring. Wrap the
sealant tape round the earth conductor and the over sheath so that it will be just below
the armour wire ends
 Tighten the clamping ring. Bend the armour wires back and bind the ends to the
over’s heath with wire. Avoid any sharp wire ends sticking out. Wire ends should be
covered with plastic tape.
 Position the outer sleeve centrally over the clamping rings. Shrink it into place
starting at the centre. Shrink the lower end first and work towards the upper end.
Installation of armour earthing assembly complete.
 Separate the cores. Wrap an earth lead round each core and solder tackite to the metal
tape shield(or attach the earth lead by any other equivalent method).Fill the earth lead
with solder to form a 30mm moisture block 30mm from the over’s heath end.
Remove the release paper and wrap one layer of sealant tape (red) round the over
heath end for 80mm underneath the earth lead.
 Bend and shape the cores into their final position. Cut the cores to the required length.
Place a temporary wire binder around the cores .Tear off the tape shield against the
wire binder. Thoroughly remove the core screen to 20mm above the metal tape shield
cut. The surface of the insulation should be free from all traces of conductive
material. All irregularities should be smoothened.
 Cut the cable to the required length and remove the over sheath. Leave enough length
to set the cores into the final position. Clean and degrease the end of the over sheath
for about 100mm.
 Remove the wire binder from the end of the metal tape shield. Remove the real ease
paper and wrap the void filling strip (yellow) for 5mm onto the metal tape shield,
continuing over the core screen and 10mm onto the insulation. Stretch the strip to half

of its original width to achieve a fine, thin edge onto the insulation. Place the stress
control tubing (black) over the cores and position them 70mm above the end of the
over sheath cut. Shrink down the tubing starting at the bottom and working upwards.
 Remove the release paper and slide the breakout over the cores. Pull the breakout as
far down the crutch as possible. Shrink the breakout into place starting at the centre.
Work first towards the lower end and then shrink the turrets onto the cores.
 Remove the release paper from the red tubing. Place the tubing over the cores with
the sealant coated end downwards. Push the tubing over the breakout turrets as far as
possible and shrink it down starting at the crutch and working upwards. Tie the
shielding wires or the earth lead with a wire binder to the over sheath below the
breakout. Gather the shielding wires together to form an earth end.
 Cut back the insulation according to dimension K=depth of cable lug barrel hole
+5mm.install the cable lugs or sleeve. Clean and degrease the insulation and the lugs.
Cut the tubing back onto the connector barrel if necessary. Post heats the palm of the
lug until a bead of mastic appears around the top of the tubing. Allow the terminations
to cool before applying any mechanical strain. The skirts should be shrinked and
placed in proper position of the cable.
