Scope

1.1
This Standard specifies requirements for copper and aluminum conductor secondary and service- entrance cables intended for use on systems having a nominal voltage of 600 V or less in underground installation

a) by direct burial; or

b) in duct systems.

This Standard also applies to multiple-conductor cable assemblies.

The products specified in this Standard are designed to be installed in accordance with the rules of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I.

Note: Portions of the cable covered by this Standard will be exposed to sunlight on terminal poles and during storage.

1.2
This Standard applies to cable with

a) a maximum allowable conductor temperature of

    i) 75 ?C; or

    ii) 90 ?C; and

b) cold impact and cold bend ratings of ?40 ?C.

1.3
In this Standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard.
