After the installation of the cable network is completed, the routes of the cable lines are plotted on the plan with their coordinates linked to the existing unchanged buildings. If the route cannot be plotted on the plan, then identification marks are applied along it, to which the strip is linked.
The marking of cable lines and the installation of identification symbols and inscriptions along the route are done in agreement as follows: any cable line must have its own number or name. If a cable line consists of several parallel cables, then any of them must have the same number with the addition of the letters A, B, C, etc.
Openly laid cables, as well as all cable terminations, must be equipped with tags with the designation: on the tags of cables and terminations - brand, voltage, cross-section, numbers or names of lines, on the tags couplings— coupling numbers and installation dates. Tags must be resistant to environmental influences.
On cables laid in cable structures, tags must be placed along the length no less frequently than every 50 m. Identification signs must be installed on the route of a cable strip laid in an undeveloped area. The route of a cable strip laid across arable land must be marked with signs installed at least every 500 m, also in places where the direction of the route is configured.
The identification signs indicate the picket number (for example, PK-17) and the voltage symbol in reddish paint, the rest in dark paint.
On cables laid in cable structures, tags must also be installed in places where the route direction is configured, on both sides of passages through interfloor ceilings, walls, partitions, in places where cables enter (exit) trenches and cable structures.
On sheltered cables in pipes or blocks, tags should be installed on the end points at the end couplings, in wells and chambers of block sewerage, and also at each connecting coupling. On sheltered cables laid in trenches, tags are installed at the end points and at each coupling.
Tags should be used in dry rooms - made of plastic, steel or aluminum. IN damp areas, outside buildings and in the ground - made of plastic. Designations on tags for underground cables and cables laid in rooms with a chemically active environment should be made by stamping, punching or burning.
For cables laid in other conditions, markings may be applied with indelible paint. Tags must be attached to the cables with a nylon thread, or zinc-coated metal wire with a diameter of 1 - 2 mm, or plastic tape with a button. The place where the tag is attached to the cable with wire and the wire itself in damp rooms, outside buildings and in the ground must be covered with bitumen to protect against water damage.
To apply markings to plastic, lead and duralumin tags, an ICD mechanical pencil is used.
Its use allows mechanical sawing to produce strong and clear markings on tags. This method significantly increases labor productivity (26 - 30 tags per hour) compared to other marking methods. For cables up to 1 kV it is customary to use a tag rectangular shape, and for cables above 1 kV - round.

Cable routes are carefully inspected along their entire length and especially in places where the routes intersect ditches, ditches and cable transitions from the ground to walls or supports. These structures are usually inspected by two persons, having first checked with an instrument whether there is gas in these structures.
Cable routes are marked with identification marks (pickets) installed in the form of concrete columns. Identification marks in the form of inscriptions on the walls of permanent structures are allowed. Picket posts (or inscriptions on the walls) are made every 100 - 150 m of the route at all turns and at the location of the couplings.
Cable routes are carefully inspected along their entire length and especially in places where the routes intersect ditches, ditches and cable transitions from the ground to walls or supports. These structures are usually inspected by two persons, first checking with a gas analyzer that there is no gas in the structures.
Cable routes should be located in places with an ambient temperature of no higher than 50 C.
Cable routes on a simplified plan are depicted as a solid thick line. To know the contents of the routes, sections are given in the drawing with their numbers marked.
Cable runs should not be located above equipment.
Cable routes are selected based on the lowest consumption of cable products, ensuring the safety of cables during mechanical influences, providing protection against corrosion, vibration, overheating and damage to cables electric arc during a short circuit on one of the adjacent cables. When laying out cables, you should avoid crossing each other and with different pipelines.
Cable routes are marked with identification marks (pickets) installed in the form of concrete columns. Identification marks in the form of inscriptions on the walls of permanent structures are allowed. Picket posts (or inscriptions on the walls) are made every 100 - 150 m of the route, at all turns and at the locations of connecting couplings.

After the installation of the cable network is completed, the routes of the cable lines are plotted on the plan with their coordinates linked to existing permanent buildings. If the route cannot be plotted on the plan, then identification marks are applied to it, to which the line is linked.
Marking of cable lines and installation of identification marks and inscriptions along the route are carried out in accordance with the following: each cable line must have its own number or name. If a cable line consists of several parallel cables, then each of them must have the same number with the addition of the letters A, B, C, etc.
Openly laid cables, as well as all cable couplings, must be equipped with tags with the designation: on the tags of cables and terminations - brand, voltage, cross-section, number or name of lines, on the tags of connecting couplings - the coupling number and installation date. Tags must be resistant to impact environment.
On cables laid in cable structures, tags must be located along the length at least every 50 m. On cables laid in undeveloped areas, identification marks must be installed. Route cable line, laid across arable land, must be marked with signs installed at least every 500 m, as well as in places where the direction of the route changes.
The identification signs indicate the picket number (for example, PK-17) and the voltage sign in red paint, the rest in black.
On cables laid in cable structures, tags must also be installed in places where the direction of the route changes, on both sides of passages through interfloor ceilings, walls, partitions, in places where cables enter (exit) trenches and cable structures.
On hidden cables in pipes or blocks, tags should be installed at the end points at the end couplings, in the wells and chambers of the block sewer system, as well as at each connecting coupling. On hidden cables in trenches, tags are installed at the end points and at each coupling.
Tags should be used in dry rooms - made of plastic, steel or aluminum. In damp rooms, outside buildings and in the ground - made of plastic. Designations on tags for underground cables and cables laid in rooms with a chemically active environment should be made by stamping, punching or burning.
For cables laid in other conditions, markings may be applied with indelible paint. Tags must be attached to the cables with nylon thread or galvanized steel wire with a diameter of 1 - 2 mm, or a plastic tape with a button. The place where the tag is attached to the cable with wire and the wire itself in damp rooms, outside buildings and in the ground must be covered with bitumen to protect it from moisture.
To apply markings to plastic, lead and aluminum tags, an ICD mechanical pencil is used.
Its use allows mechanical sawing to apply durable and clear markings to tags. This method significantly increases labor productivity (26 - 30 tags per hour) compared to other marking methods. For cables up to 1 kV it is customary to use a rectangular tag, and for cables above 1 kV - a round tag.
After the installation of the cable line is completed, the cable routes and cables are marked. Marking the cable route facilitates the operation of cable lines and prevents possible mechanical damage during excavation work in the area of the cable route.
Before filling the trench with earth, permanent landmarks are identified and an as-built drawing (plan) of the route of the laid cable lines is drawn up. The as-built drawing records the location of the cable line in relation to permanent landmarks in the area, their intersections with roads and underground utilities, marks sections of cables laid in pipes, blocks, collectors or at a depth of more than 1 m, as well as the locations of connecting and branch couplings. In the absence of local permanent landmarks, cable routes are marked using identification marks (pickets), which can be made in the form of concrete pillars or from waste profile metal. It is allowed to make identification marks on the walls of permanent structures.
Picket posts are installed every 100-150 m on straight sections of the route, as well as at all turns and at connecting couplings. For cable lines with a voltage of 35 kV and above, in addition, an as-built drawing of the longitudinal profile is drawn up indicating the elevation marks of the locations of couplings, wells, and feeding points.
Marking of laid cables, as well as connecting and termination couplings and terminations is carried out with tags of a certain shape. To mark cables with voltages up to 1,000 V, rectangular tags are used, for cables with voltages above 1,000 V - round, and for control cables - triangular. Tags are made from plastic, steel or aluminum with anti-corrosion coating where required. The tags are secured to the cables with galvanized steel wire with a diameter of 2 mm or nylon or plastic tape. Cable tags and cable sleeves laid in the ground are protected from destruction by a winding of two or three layers of tarred tape.
Tags on openly laid cables, as well as on all couplings and terminations must have the following designations: on cable tags - brand, voltage, number and cross-section of cores, number or name of the cable line; on the tags of the couplings and terminations - the date of installation and the names of the installers performing the work, numbers of the couplings, the final points of cable laying (only on the tags of the terminations).
Each cable line is assigned a number or name. If a cable line consists of several parallel cables, then each of these cables has the same number, but with the addition of the letters A, B, C, etc.
Currently, predominantly used factory-made plastic tags are used, on which the designations are applied with indelible paint.
Tags are installed: every 100 m on straight sections of the route, in places where the direction of the route changes, in cable wells, at each connecting and end coupling, at the points of entry and exit of cables into channels, tunnels, pipes at the entrance to and exit from buildings.
Marking helps to find the cable for repair during its operation. Marking of current-carrying conductors is carried out using plastic ends or pieces of polyvinyl chloride tube with indelible ink inscriptions.
Conductive conductors are marked with letters and numbers, and there can be three marking systems:
- straight,
- reverse,
- direct and reverse.
With direct marking, the tag indicates the number and symbol clamp to which it is connected this vein. When reverse marking, the number and designation of the terminal from which the connected core comes is indicated. Both addresses may appear on the tag as a fraction; This type of marking is called direct AND reverse.
