Superseded by 400-2001. Procedures and recommended test voltage values for acceptance and maintenance high-direct-voltage testing of shielded power cable systems are set forth. They apply to all types of shielded, insulated power cable. The aim is to provide uniform test procedures and guidelines for evaluation of the test results. This guide is not intended to apply to unshielded power cables, communication cables, control cables, high-frequency cables, or other special-purpose cables, nor does it purport to require that testing be performed, either at the time of installation or maintenance.

400-2023
IEEE Guide for Field Testing and Evaluation of the Insulation of Shielded Power Cable Systems Rated 5 kV and Above
Various field test methods that are currently available for or have been developed are listed in this guide. The guide covers shielded, insulated power cable systems rated 5 kV and above. The guide also describes the tests and gives advantages and disadvantages, suggested applications, and typical results. Complete guides covering some of the test methods listed are available in the form of IEEE 400 “point” documents.
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
400-2001
IEEE Guide for Field Testing and Evaluation of the Insulation of Shielded Power Cable Systems
This Guide lists the various field test methods that are currently available or underdevelopment with guidance on HOW to perform each test. The Guide covers shielded, insulated power cable systems rated 5 kV through 500 kV unless these voltages are modified by the specific "point" document.
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
