How to conduct a Hipot test on a 11KV cable?

Answer Posted / prabhu krishna

hipot test is used to test the cable for Its more than
rated voltage level for which it is designed.so, for 11KV
cable 19KV DC is applied for 1 Minute to R&Y,Y&B,B&R lead
of cable one by one & armoring is connected to earth. 11KV
Cable should withstand this voltage.If cable insulation is
weak so it will breakdown at this higher votage
level.Before & After the Hipot test cable meggering should
be done By 5Kv Megger.

Please clarify, 1. Is it required to lay two runs of GI wire along with Armoured LT cable if it is laid between one big mains (63Amps TPN SDF) to small main (32A TPN SDF) with proper glanding termination? 2. If the armoured cable with proper glanding is laid from DB to CNC machine, is it required to run two runs of body earthing to the Machine from DB? 3.If the armoured cable with proper glanding is laid from Substation to Hangar, distance is approx. 100 mtrs, is it required to do earthing at shop area though the primary termination at substation is earthed through gland.
