6.7.2 Connecting the cables
6.7.2.1 Checking the cable insulation
• Measure the insulation of each cable before connection and verify 
that the results are within the specification of the cable 
manufacturer. 
• Leave the conductors unconnected at both ends until the 
commissioning personnel has given permission to connect them.
 ⚠ CAUTION 
Risk of flashover!
High voltages will be present in the terminal compartment. High voltages 
can cause flashover between conductors with different electric potential, 
and between a conductor and earth.
Therefore, route and connect the cables in such a way that the following 
minimum clearances are maintained:
• 70 mm between cable lugs of conductors with a different potential
• 70 mm between the cable lug of a conductor and the parts with 
earth potential
• 30 mm between cables with a different potential
