7.0 PROCEDURE/METHODOLOGY
INSTALLATION OF WIRE/CABLE
Following step should be followed at the time of installation of Wires and
Cables
A. Cables
Comply with Contract specification
Ensure the Installation of cables in accordance with approved standards, as
per manufacturer’s recommendations, and to the satisfaction of the
Engineer.
Ensure approved documents like shop drawing and load schedule are
available with construction team.
Pulling the cables shall be in safe way that prevent the cable of been damage.
Ensure the cables are free from damages.
Ensure the cables are comply with conduit system.
Ensure the cables are proper joint with panels or power loads to be supplied.
Ensure the cables that have multicore are connected to the right protective
device such as three pole circuit breakers.
CABLE TERMINATION
a) Tools for the cutting and striping of cable or wire for the termination
include wire striping and retractable knives. Use of the wire striping /
cutter tools is preferred to the retractable knife for the striping and
cutting for the cable for safety reasons. The wire stripper/ cutter tools
are used in the following manner for preparing cable ends for
termination
b) Determine the correct cable core size prior to inserting the cable core
or wire ends the tool head for striping. Squeeze the tool handles until
the cable sheath or wire installation is cut through the metal. Striping

of cable core or wire and is then carried out by removing the cut cable
sheath or insulation
c) The cutting of the cable core using the tool cutter is carried out by
inserting the end into the tool head cutter blades and then squeezing
the tool handles
a) Unscrew the pedal beam retaining screw on the hydraulic foot pump.
(The screw looks the pump beam in the horizontal position, making it
convenient carrying handle)
b) Remove the protective cap from the male half of the coupling hose
and similar cap from the female coupling on the crimping head. Screw
the two together hand tight with the lose knurled nut on the female
coupling. Ensure that the mating pats are free from grit and dirt

c) Fit the correct compression lug into the cable core with the plam at
the correct angle. Select the correct crimping dies for the lug size and
locate them in the crimping head. Check that the crimping code
stamped on the dies is identical to that stamped on the lugs
d) Close the manual valve at the side of the pump head. Do this firmly by
turning the valve knob clockwise by hand
e) Hold the crimping head in position on the cable lug ensuring that the
crimping portion of the dies is placed centrally on the crimping barrel
of the lug. Operate the pump until the cable lug is lightly gripped
f) Ensuring that the lug dose not move on the cable during the crimping
operation, operate the hydraulic foot pump until the crimping dies are
closed. Full closure is indicated by an audible “click” as the overload
valve operates and the pressure against the pedal beam is released
g) Once the crimping operation is completed, open the manual valve at
the side of the pump head. Once the lower die in the crimping head
has retracted sufficiently, lift the crimping head off the crimped lugs
h) Note: When making repeated crimp of the same size of cable lug it is
convenient to open the manual valve for only as long as it takes the
lower crimping die to retract sufficiently for withdrawal of the
crimping lug. This saves pumping time during the next crimping
operation
B. Wires
Ensure approved documents like shop drawing and load schedule are
available with construction team.
Install the Wires in accordance with manufactures installation instruction and
approved shop drawing.
Before starting the install of wires make sure that the plaster work is finished
completely in that area or floor.

Ladder/Scaffolding shall be used to wire high level wiring devices and fittings.
Wiring joint will be made only at switch, isolator and appliance fittings.
Before pulling the wire into conduit system, the enclosure of distribution
board shall be fixed.
Ensure the wire and cables are free from damages.
Label the wires then connect them to the respective Circuit breakers.
