Cable Termination and Glanding Record

Inspection record for verifying cable terminations, gland type and rating, lug torque, polarity, and screen bonding at both ends.

Inspection Details

• Circuit, panel, or equipment identifier recorded
  Record the exact cable/circuit reference, panel name, equipment tag, or feeder identifier.
• Inspection date and time recorded
  Document when the termination and glanding verification was completed.
• Inspector name and qualification recorded
  Enter the inspector name and confirm the person is authorized or competent for electrical verification.
• Work status identified
  Select whether the cable is new installation, re-termination, maintenance repair, or post-test verification.
• Reference drawing, SOP, or torque specification available
  Confirm the applicable drawing, wiring schedule, manufacturer instruction, or torque specification is available at the point of inspection.

Cable Gland and Entry Verification

• Correct gland type installed for cable construction
  Verify the gland type matches the cable construction, including armored, unarmored, screened, or hazardous-area requirements as applicable.
• Gland rating matches enclosure and environment
  Confirm the gland rating is suitable for the enclosure ingress protection, environmental exposure, and any hazardous-area classification where applicable.
• Gland installed correctly with no visible damage
  Check that the gland is fully engaged, mechanically secure, and free from cracks, deformation, or thread damage.
• Cable outer sheath is properly retained and sealed
  Verify the outer sheath is retained by the gland and the entry is sealed without gaps, loose components, or exposed conductors.
• Earth tag, shroud, or sealing washer installed where required
  Confirm all required gland accessories are fitted according to the cable type and installation method.

Termination and Lug Torque Verification

• Conductor termination matches drawing and terminal designation
  Verify each conductor is landed on the correct terminal, phase, or device point per the approved wiring diagram.
• Lug size and conductor size are compatible
  Confirm the lug is correctly sized for the conductor cross-section and terminal stud or clamp arrangement.
• Lug torque value recorded
  Record the applied torque for each termination or the representative torque value used for the set.
• Applied torque meets specified torque requirement
  Confirm the measured torque is within the specified tolerance for the lug, terminal, and hardware combination.
• Termination hardware secure and correctly assembled
  Check that washers, spring washers, nuts, and lock devices are installed in the correct order and fully secured.

Polarity, Phase Identification, and Screen Bonding

• Polarity or phase identification verified at termination
  Confirm polarity, phase sequence, or conductor identification is correct against the wiring schedule and test results.
• Cable screen or shield bonded at the designated end(s)
  Verify the screen or shield is bonded exactly as specified, including single-end or both-end bonding requirements.
• Screen bonding continuity verified
  Confirm the screen bonding connection is continuous, mechanically secure, and free from loose strands or poor contact.
• Earthing or grounding conductor termination verified
  Check that the protective earth or grounding conductor is terminated to the correct point and is secure.
• End-to-end identification labels present and legible
  Verify cable markers, ferrules, or labels are installed and legible at both ends where required.

Deficiencies, Corrective Action, and Sign-Off

• Deficiencies or non-conformances documented
  Record any defects, deviations, or non-conformances found during the inspection, including location and impact.
• Corrective action assigned and tracked
  Document the corrective action, responsible person, and target completion date for any failed item.
• Inspector signature
  Inspector confirms the record is accurate and complete.
• Supervisor or commissioning sign-off
  Optional supervisory or commissioning approval for release to service, where required by site procedure.
