2.0 Megger Test

2.1 The Megger insulation tester is a small, portable instrument that gives you a direct reading
of insulation resistance in ohms or megaohms. For good insulation, the resistance usually
reads in the megaohm range.
2.2 The meter uses both current and voltage coils, enabling true ohms to be read directly,
independent of the actual voltage applied. This method is non-destructive; that is, it does
not cause deterioration of the insulation.

3.0 Cable Finding

3.1 For the safety of you, and those around you, it's important to know what's under the ground
before you start any digging or excavation work.
3.2 The cable locator has generally consisted of two parts--a transmitter and a receiver. The
transmitter puts an electrical signal onto the cable or pipe being traced, while the receiver
picks up that signal, allowing the locator operator to trace the signal`s path and follow the
cable being located.
3.3 The electromagnetic field created by the transmitter can usually be set to a specific
frequency, depending on the type of conductor in the cable. Frequency choices can range
from less than 1 kilohertz to about 480 kHz.
4.0 Feeder Pillar installation

4.1 Ensure that the location where the Feeder Pillars to be installed conforms to the approved
drawings. In case of any field changes on the locations to suit the field requirements, it shall
be reflected on the drawings and informed the engineering department for As - Built
drawing.
4.2 Ensure that the material’s type, rating, size and area classification etc. conform to the
project specifications and drawings.
4.3 Obtain the work permit as required.
4.4 Ensure that area/ surfaces (i.e. walls, structures, flooring etc.) where it will be mounted are
finished/ painted and handed over for work execution. During installation the necessary
