purchaser shall notify the Vendor in writing without delay of any defects
that have appeared and shall give him every opportunity of inspecting
and remedying them.
9.8. On receipt of such notification the Vendor shall remedy the defect
forthwith and at his own expense. Save where the nature of the defect is
such that it is appropriate to effect repairs on site, the purchaser shall
return to the Vendor any part in which a defect covered by this clause has
appeared, for repair or replacement by the Vendor, and in such case the
delivery to the purchaser of such part properly repaired or a part in
replacement thereof shall be deemed to be a fulfillment by the Vendor of

general shortage of materials and restrictions in the use of power) when
such other circumstances are beyond the control of the parties.
10.2. The party wishing to claim relief by reason of any of the said
circumstances shall notify the other party in writing without delay on the
intervention and on the cessation thereof.
10.3. The effects of the said circumstances so far as they affect the timely
performance of their obligation by the parties, are defined in clauses 7
and 8. Save as provided in paragraph 7.5, 7.7, and 8.7, if by reason of any
of the said circumstances, the performance of the contract within a
reasonable time becomes impossible, either party shall be entitled to
terminate the contract by notice in writing to the other part without

party has been prevented from performing his obligations and that party
shall bear the whole of the said expenses.
Where the purchaser is required to bear the whole of the expenses and
has before termination of the contract paid to the Vendor more than the
amount of the Vendor's expenses, the purchaser shall be entitled to
 recover the excess. If the arbitrator determines that both parties have
been prevented from performing their obligation, he shall apportion the
said expenses between the parties in such manner as to him seems fair
and reasonable, having regard to all the circumstances of the case.
10.6. For the purposes of this clause "expenses" means actual out of pocket
expenses reasonably incurred, after both parties shall have mitigated
their losses as far as possible. Provided that as respects material delivered
to the purchaser the Vendor's expenses shall be deemed to be that part of
the price payable under the contract which is properly attributable
thereto.

-Average Insulation thickness = 1.4 mm XLPE
-Nominal over all diameter of cable = 25 mm
-Max. D.C. resistance at 200 C:
25 mm2 phase condominium =1.2 ohm/km
25 mm2 neutral aluminum alloy =1.38 ohm/km
2.3 CABLE IDENTIFICATION

The plastic over-sheath shall be embossed with the name of the

manufacturer, the cable voltage rating, length, size and any necessary
information.
2.4 CABLE LENGTH MARKINGS
In order to ascertain the cable lengths, a varnished paper, cellulose
acetate or similar tape bearing lengths in meters shall be applied
longitudinally immediately under the protection outer-sheath. The tape
shall be nominally 0.13mm thick, 10mm wide wire figures approximately
7 mm high. Alternatively, the lengths in meters may be embossed on the
outer PVC sheath
3. CABLE LENGTHS

No drum shall contain more than one length.

4. CABLE DRUMS

Cable drums shall be returnable and shall be made of timber, pressure

impregnated against fungal and insect attack, or made of steel suitably protected
against corrosion. They shall be arranged to take a round spindle of a section
adequately to support the loaded cable during installation and handling. They
shall be lagged with closely fitting battens in accordance to I.E.C. standard , The
wooden drums must be returned after being unloaded by us and should be taking
from you not more than two weeks from the date of notifying you of their
loading from our side

Each cable drum shall have a metallic name plate that appear a distinguishing
number on the outside of both flanges Particulars of the cable, i.e. voltage,
conductor size and material, number of cores, length and type length, gross and
net weights shall also be clearly shown by graving on both flanges. The
direction of rolling shall be indicated be an arrow on both flanges. The method
of drum marking shall be to the Engineer’s approval.

The rotation of the cores at the running end, which shall be marked “Red” shall
Increase in a clockwise direction. The same requirement shall apply for all drum
lengths, and the inner end of these cables shall be marked “Green”.

Both sides of the cable must appear out of the drum; therefore
it is not necessary to extend the whole cable in order to see the initial
and final length of the cable.

5. SAMPLES

The Contractor shall submit for approval samples of cables as required

from time to time by the Engineer.

6. INSPECTION AND TESTING FOR POWER CABLES

All cables shall be subjected to inspection and testing in accordance with

IEC60502-1. The purchaser shall attend these tests.
Adequate notice shall be given when the cables are ready for inspection
and tests, every facility shall be provided by the supplier to enable the
purchaser to carry out the necessary inspections and tests.
Before the cables are packed or dispatched, all tests called for shall have
been carried out successfully.
No passing of plant or materials by the purchaser shall relieve the
Contractor from his responsibility. The Contractor shall also be
responsible for proper carrying out of all tests of plant or materials
 carried out or supplied by a sub-contractor to the same extent as if the
work were carried out or supplied by the Contractor himself.
If, due to the Contract work and/or component materials not complying
with these specification further tests are necessary, the Contractor shall
pay all additional costs, which may be incurred in re-testing.
The following tests shall be carried out in accordance with IEC 60502-1
and their amendments: -

a) Routine Tests.
b) Type Tests, Electrical
c) Type Tests, non-electrical.
d) Special Tests
