Identification shall be in the form of captive o ring ferrule of
appropriate diameter engraved or indelibly printed with the cable
number, the core number and the terminal number.
Wire maker shall be provided for cable wires/cores for power
cables and control cables.
7.8 Grounding System
All metallic enclosures of equipment, cable trays, cable tray structural
supports, vessels, skids, structural steel supports etc. as found in
bridge, main deck, cellar deck and jacket shall be grounded by
connection to the common Earth Grid. The Earthing System / Pattern
shall be in accordance with the approved drawings. All Earthing
cables shall be PVC covered.

7.9 Electric Motor
