General Info and Task Objectives

  • Task Summary
    1) Inter-array power cores termination in OSS Alpha
    2) Completion of power cores final single cleating below the GIS

  • Operational Limitations
    - Weather limitations as per adverse weather procedure.
    - A Safe System of Work is provided, the switchgear is in the earth position, locked to prevent
    operation and appropriate warning notices displayed.
    - The inter-array cable second end on the first FOU is terminated first.

  • Initial Status
    - Status of installation: The power cores are routed and fastened to the structure with cable
    cleats.
    - The cable ends are available for termination on a suitable working level (e.g. mobile
    scaffolding)
    - Pre-termination testing is completed.

Sub Task # 1) Preparation

  • Are you performing this Sub-Task?

  • 1.1 Perform Introduction and Toolbox talk with all involved personnel

  • Check for a valid permit and review required safety measures.
    Note: Specific topics to be addressed in the Permit to Work are
    as a minimum:
    - Electrical work, including HV testing,
    - Hot work.

    kklk.jpg
  • 1.2 Perform Radio communication check with the offshore vessel (ISV / CTV)

  • 1.3 Lift tools from the offshore vessel (ISV / CTV) to OSS.

  • 1.4 Verify your location, the cable ID, cable route and switchgear location and ID.

  • 1.5 Ensure that the cable and switchgear are disconnected from any voltage source and are earthed.

  • Check for a valid Permit to Work with isolation measures.

    klk.jpg
  • 1.6 Check that all cable fixing material (cable cleats) and termination kits are provided and suitable for the installation (matching the cable size).<br>Check that all tools required for the work is available, in good condition and where applicable hold valid calibration certification.

  • 1.7 Wrap sharp edges with rubber of foam to prevent damages to the cable.<br>(i.e. switchgear openings and close-by cable racking).

  • 1.8 Check the accessible sections of the subsea power cores for outer sheath damages visually and with pulling the hands over the surface. Any repairs necessary shall be performed before termination.

  • 1.9 Mobile scaffolding is assembled. Make sure that the scaffolding is earthed before starting any works on it. Then enter/access the scaffolding.

  • 1.10 Check (continuously before/during/after cable handling) that the cable is handled and placed (permanent position) with the MBR taken into account. The use of (wooden) half circle template is recommended.

Sub Task # 2) Termination Preparation (TKF Cable)

  • Are you performing this Sub-Task?

  • 2.1 The power cores phases are individually marked as follows:

  • - TKF – Meter and phase marking is applied to the outer sheath.
    - Prysmian – Under the screen, core marking is done with a coloured identification tape.

    kklk.jpg
  • 2.2 Confirm the correct phase order, which is for every cable in the switchgears left-to-right L3, L2 and L1.

  • 2.3 Open the Roxtec sealing plates below the switchgear cable compartment.

  • 2.4 INFORMATION: – Steps 2.5 to 2.9 below marking the so called “Jacket Cut” can be achieved by lifting the power cores into position or alternatively leaving the power cores on the scaffolding and using a rope of flexible hose instead.

    kklk.jpg
  • 2.5 Lift the power core one by one to the final position and fix them temporarily with slings or cargo straps or place them directly into the cable cleats.<br>Use the pad eyes and vertical cable support brackets to lift the cable core up from the scaffold to the switchgear bay using ratchet straps and/or lever hoist.<br>Arrange the cores below the switchgear according to phase sequence, so that the spreading out of the cores will be the easiest.<br>Minimum bending radius for single power cores:<br>- TKF 800mm 1.10m<br>- PRY 800mm 1.04m<br>Minimum bending radius has to be maintained at all times.

  • 2.6 Adjust the cables that they come out of the last cleat straight and they reach the GIS straight to avoid mechanical tension on the end connectors.<br>- 1st cleat from GIS, (i.e. 800mm from Connex bell flange)<br>- 2nd cleat below Roxtec distance.<br>- For the 1st cleat from GIS, additional Oglaend rack will be installed above the I-beams (below GIS) to reach the recommended distance of 800 mm from Connex bell flange to 1st cleat.

  • 2.7 Check that phase sequence is correct and make the cut marks on the cable.

  • 2.8 Measure the required cable length with bending the cable to position, or with the help of a rope of flexible hose.<br>Measure the required metallic screen length to be able to connect it to the earthing point. The additional cable length above this point can be cut.

  • 2.9 Lower the cable back down on the scaffolding.

  • 2.10 Refit the Roxtec plates removed at Step 2.3 above

  • 2.11 Install the cable termination kits according to the installation instruction doc. No.: 34022-IIN-OF0260994.

  • 2.12 Each step of the TKF Installation Manual, Doc No.: 34022-IINOF0260994 has been extracted and inserted below (Steps 2.14 through to and including Step 2.20.1).
