Inspection area de-energized or otherwise made safe critical (required)

Confirm the equipment was placed in a safe condition before inspection, consistent with site LOTO procedures and OSHA 1910.147 where applicable.

Yes No N/A

IEEE 386 Interface Compatibility

Cable entrance and apparatus bushing are IEEE 386 compatible critical (required)

Verify the installed interface matches IEEE 386 separable connector dimensions and mating requirements for the application.

Yes No N/A

Mating cable accessory is the correct type for the bushing interface critical (required)

Confirm the field cable accessory, elbow, or connector is compatible with the installed bushing and voltage class.

Yes No N/A

Voltage class and connector rating match the equipment nameplate critical (required)

Verify the cable accessory and bushing ratings match the equipment voltage class and system application.

Yes No N/A

Interface parts show no evidence of mixed or mismatched components critical (required)

Check for non-matching brands, adapters, or improvised parts that could compromise fit, sealing, or electrical performance.

Yes No N/A

Seating, Fit, and Mechanical Condition

Bushing or cable entrance is fully seated critical (required)

Verify the connector is fully engaged and seated with no visible gap, tilt, or partial insertion.

Retaining hardware or locking features are installed and secure critical (required)

Confirm any retaining clips, locking rings, or hardware are present, properly installed, and secure.

Yes No N/A

No cracks, chips, deformation, or burn marks visible critical (required)

Inspect the bushing, cable entrance, and insulating surfaces for physical damage or heat-related deterioration.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Stress relief and cable bend radius appear acceptable

Verify the cable is not under excessive mechanical strain and is routed without sharp bends or tension at the entrance.

Yes No N/A

Cleanliness, Sealing, and Environmental Condition

Insulating surfaces are clean and free of contamination critical (required)

Check for dirt, moisture, tracking, corrosion, grease, or other contamination on exposed insulating surfaces.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Seals, gaskets, and boots are intact critical (required)

Confirm weather seals, boots, and gaskets are present, undamaged, and properly positioned to maintain environmental protection.

Yes No N/A

No evidence of moisture ingress or corrosion at the interface critical (required)

Inspect for water intrusion, rust, oxidation, or other signs of environmental compromise.

Yes No N/A

Grounding, Labeling, and Final Verification

Grounding and bonding connections are present and secure where applicable critical (required)

Verify grounding or bonding conductors, shields, or associated hardware are installed and secure per site design.

Yes No N/A

Equipment and cable identifiers are legible and match the installation

Confirm labels, phase markings, and circuit identifiers are present and readable.

Yes No N/A

No abnormal condition requiring immediate corrective action critical (required)

Record whether any deficiency, non-conformance, or safety concern was observed that would prevent safe operation or energization.

Yes No N/A

Inspector signature critical (required)

Sign to confirm the inspection findings are accurate and complete.
