Test 1, AC f igh Voltage'15me Test
A minimum of 620 volts per mil withstand is required per M-94, Section M.2.1. Three 37 ft
samples (uoaged) were tested. Each sample began the test at a voltage equal to 100 volts per mil
and held for a period of 5 minutes. The voltage was then increased in 40 V/mil steps and held
for 5 minutes at each value, continuing until breakdown occurred. The step value at which
breakdown occurred is reported below. This value is based on the specified minimum average
insulation thickness. The insulation wall thickness at the failure was also reported as well as the
actual breakdown stress. Failure areas were examined to determine cause of breakdown. No
voids or contaminants were observed. Failures were the result of dielectric breakdown.

Test 2, Hot Impulse Test
The cable is required to meet a minimum impulse withstand voltage of 1200 V/mil, per CS5-94,
Section M.2.2. Three 37 ft (unaged) samples were placed in a 6 ft long, 3 -inch diameter pipe
with the ends suitably closed. The samples were then heated to a conductor temperature of 130°
C by circulating current through the conductor_ Ten impulses of each polarity with magnitude
equal to BIL (110 kV) were applied. The voltage was then raised over the BEL in steps of 25
percent of BIL with three impulses of negative polarity applied at each step and were continued
until breakdown occurred. The step value at which breakdown occurred is reported below.
This value is based on the specified minimum average insulation thickness. Failure areas were
examined to determine the cause of breakdown. No voids or contaminants were observed.

Cyclic Aging:
Cyclic Aging is required per CS5-94, Section M.2.3, to supply aged samples for tests 3 and 4.
Cyclic Aging was achieved by placing samples in a 3-inch diameter plastic conduit with the ends
suitably closed. A load current was then applied to the connected samples producing a
conductor temperature of 130° C for a period of eight hours each day, continuing for 14 cycles.
Test 3, AC High Voltage Time Test (Min. 620 V/mil Withstand)
Tests were performed on three samples using the same procedure as in Test 1. Failures were

Electrical and physical measurements are required on samples 1 (unaged) and 7 (cyclic aged).
The results are as follows:
Sample 1 (Unaged):
Partial Discharge:
The sample is required not to exceed a maximum 5 picocoulombs. The test was conducted
on an unaged sample (sample 1) at room temperature and at 200 V/mil, with the following
results:

Resistance Stability: Per M.2.9.
Determined by. the two electrode method as outlined in ICEA T-25-425. Volume Resistivity was
measured in 14 day intervals continuing for 42 days or until stability is observed, at an oven
temperature of 1200 C for the insulation shield. The Volume Resistivity was then formulated to
determine stability by t11e following formula:
2 [p( .14)] Ip(,"s [pW2)) > p .
Stability occurs when calculated value is greater than or equal to p3o. The results are as follows.
Insulation Shield:
Was Stability Obtained? Yes Calculated Value = .461 p'o = .047
The samples tested passed the volume resistivity requirements of Table D-5.

Temperature Calibration
To determine the current levels needed to achieve the specified test temnperatures, a dummy load
cycle is performed per CS6-96, Section M.2.3.4 and Section M.2.4.4. A control sample is
loaded under the same installation and ambient temperature conditions, as the test specimen is
loader. Thermocouples are placed on the surface of the sample and on the conductor in the
center of the conduit. The correlation of surface temperatures is used to determine temperature
of energized cables.
The target temperature of the actual test is selected and achieved by adjusting the current
sufficient to attain a surface temperature corresponding to the surface temperature of the control
sample.

A reel of 1/0 Al 15 kV medium voltage underground cable was submitted to the Cofer
Technology Center for AEIC Qualification testing. The cable was constructed with Union
Carbide 0802 conductor shield, Union Carbide 4202B insulation, and Union Carbide 0693
insulation shield. All tests performed and reported are per AEIC, CS5-94, Section M.
At the conclusion of testing, the sample of 1/0 Al 15 kV cable constructed of Union Carbide
0802 conductor shield, Union Carbide 4202E insulation, and Union Carbide 0693 insulation
shield passed the AEIC CS5 requirements under section M entitled, "Qualification Tests."
The successful completion of this test enables the manufacturer to produce this cable
construction per the AEIC CS5 standard.
Insulation Shield Qualification testing was conducted in accordance with Section M of AEIC
CS5. All paragraph references are taken from this specification. The flow chart M-1, also taken
from CS5, outlines the requirements. Only Tests 1, 2, 3, and 4 are required for insulation shield
testing.
