The following pre-connection and post-connection tests will need to be carried out before assets installed by an ICP can be adopted:
Pre-connection tests to be undertaken by both the ICP and UK Power Networks for Low Voltage Contestable Works:
Check that terminal equipment at all exit points is secure from public access, cut-out fuses carriers are in place with fuses removed
Check that all cable routes are properly backfilled with no exposed cables
Undertake insulation resistance test on assets to be connected
Post-connection tests to be undertaken by UK Power Networks for Low Voltage Contestable Works:
Confirm voltage at each exit point
Check polarity at each exit point
Check Phase Rotation at each 3 phase exit point
Check loop impedance within acceptable limits
Seal cut-out fuse carriers with fuses removed
