Study Notes

Location Box Safety

  • The EC Socket should be fixed on the location box
  • The location box should be painted with black and yellow stripes

Copper Cable Screening and Earthing

  • Screen and armour of copper cables should be jointed with suitable wires
  • This ensures the specified screening factor
  • Copper cable screen and armour should be earthed with a low value earth
  • Earthing should be done first to avoid electric shock from induction

Location Box Installation

  • EC Socket should be mounted directly onto the location box.
  • The location box needs to be painted with black and yellow stripes.

Copper Cable Screen & Armour Jointing

  • The screen and armor of copper cables must be connected using suitable wires.
  • This is crucial to achieve the required screening factor and ensure proper earthing at stations.
  • The jointing process should be completed before any other work to avoid electric shock from induction.

Copper Cable Earthing

  • The copper cable screen and armor must be earthed using a low-value earth connection.
