**Key steps include:**

• Proper isolation and LOTO

• Proving the cable dead with an approved HV detector

• Discharging and applying protective earthing

• Correct cable preparation as per the termination-kit manufacturer

• Proper installation of stress-control components

• Correct lug crimping and torque verification

• Earth-screen connection and phase identification

• Required pre-commissioning tests and final inspection

• Safe and authorized energization

Appropriate **[electrical PPE](https://forumelectrical.com/why-is-ppe-essential-for-electrical-work-safety/)**, approved procedures, risk assessment and competent personnel are essential throughout the activity.
