Low and Medium Voltage Cable Qualification Project Objective A large North American cable manufacturer wanted to qualify a complete line of low and medium cables for use in nuclear facilities. The objective of the project was to select the best formulation, and create a test matrix, which could encompass many plant environments. Scope of Work From this set of cables, a number of qualification tests were initiated, which presented challenges— specifically related to thermal aging and Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) Testing. Thermal aging oven requirements The size of LOCA chambers How to accommodate the large number of cables Allocation of an adequate storage location for the one-year submergence testing Providing electrical excitation and monitoring for the number of cables involved A Succ
