23、ION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover electrical power and control cables consisting of either two or more current-carrying copper, aluminum, or copper-clad aluminum circuit conductors, or one or more pairs of thermocouple-extension wires. T

24、hermocouple-extension wires and circuit conductors shall not be mixed in the same cable. These cables are constructed with or without either or both: a) One bare or one or more insulated grounding conductor(s), and b) One or more individually jacketed optical-ber members, all under an overall jacket

25、. These electrical and composite electrical/optical-ber cables are intended for use (optical and electrical functions associated in the case of a composite cable) in accordance with Article 336 and other applicable parts of the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70 in cable trays, in raceways

26、, and where supported in outdoor locations by a messenger wire. 1.2 The conductors for these cables are described in Sections 9.2 (NEC types) and 9.3 (other conductors). Cables are surface marked with the conductor type letters and/or with the temperature and “wet”, “dry”, or “wet or dry” ratings ap

27、plicable to the insulation. Cables for direct burial are so marked on the surface. Cables that have a sunlight-resistant jacket are surface marked “sun res” or “sunlight resistant”. Cables may include one or more optical-ber member(s) and are surface marked to so indicate. Cables that are surface ma

28、rked “oil resistant II” have a jacket that is for exposure to oil at temperatures not in excess of 75C (167F). Cables that are surface marked “oil resistant I” have a jacket that is for exposure to oil at temperatures not in excess of 60C (140F). Each insulated conductor that is oil resistant II, oi

29、l resistant I, VW-1, gasoline-resistant, or has another individual conductor use is individually so marked. Cables that are surface marked -ER are for use as exposed runs between a cable tray and utilization equipment where the cables are continuously supported and protected against physical damage

30、using mechanical protection such as struts, angles, or channel. 1.3 The overall jacket on these cables is a “gas/vapor-tight continuous sheath” in the sense discussed in Sections 501.15(D) and 501.15(E) of the NEC (see 12.1.1). However, these requirements do not cover investigation of these cables f

31、or transmission of gases or vapors through the core so, when these cables are used in a hazardous location, they may need to be sealed as described in the NEC. 1.4 These cables may contain one or more metal shields but do not have a metal sheath or armor. Electrical cables with a metal sheath or arm

32、or are covered as Type MC in the Standard for Metal-Clad Cables, UL 1569. 1.5 Connectors and other ttings for these cables are covered in the Standard for Conduit, Tubing, and Cable Fittings, UL 514B. 1.6 These requirements do not cover the optical or other performance of any optical-ber member or g

33、roup of such members.

34、andard is also stated in units that make the requirement conveniently usable in countries employing the metric systems (practical SI). Equivalent although not necessarily exactly identical results are to be expected from applying a requirement in USA or metric terms. Equipment calibrated in metric u

35、nits is to be used when a requirement is applied in metric terms. 3 References 3.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. 3.2 Wherever the designation “UL 1581” is us

36、ed in this wire standard, reference is to be made to the designated part(s) of the Reference Standard for Electrical Wires, Cables, and Flexible Cords, UL 1581. CONSTRUCTION 4 Materials 4.1 Only materials that are acceptable for the particular use shall be employed in a cable. 4.2 Each material used

37、 in a cable shall be compatible with all of the other materials used in the cable. 5 General 5.1 Power and control tray cable shall be designated as Type TC and shall comply in all respects with the applicable requirements for construction details, test performance, and markings. 5.2 The electrical

38、insulation in each of the following cables shall be of a material that is acceptable for use in wet locations: a) Cable that is marked for direct burial. b) Cable that is intended for use in wet locations.

39、TRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 6 All Conductors 6.1 Except for the thermocouple alloy for thermocouple-extension cables, only copper, copper-clad aluminum, or an acceptable aluminum alloy shall be used for the conductors in a cable. Soft-annealed copper shall comply with ASTM B 3. Solid alumin

40、um conductors in sizes 12 8 AWG shall comply with the requirements for aluminum-wire stock (aluminum-alloy conductor material). All other aluminum conductors shall comply with the requirements for semi-annealed 8000 series aluminum conductors in Requirements for Aluminum Conductors of an 8000 Series

41、 Alloy, Section 10, of the Reference Standard for Electrical Wires, Cables, and Flexible Cords, UL 1581. Copper-Clad aluminum conductors shall comply with the requirements in Requirements for Copper-Clad Aluminum Conductors, Section 11 of UL 1581. 6.2 A copper conductor shall not be smaller than 18

42、AWG and shall not be larger than 1000 kcmil. An aluminum or copper-clad aluminum conductor shall not be smaller than 12 AWG and shall not be larger than 1000 kcmil. 6.3 Each 6 4/0 AWG and 250 1000 kcmil conductor shall be stranded. An 18 or 16 AWG copper conductors shall comply with the requirements

43、 for xture wire conductors in the Standard for Fixture Wire, UL 66. A 14 AWG or larger copper, or 12 AWG or larger aluminum conductor shall comply with the requirements in the Standard for Thermoset-Insulated Wires and Cables, UL 44, or in the Standard for Thermoplastic-Insulated Wires and Cables, U

44、L 83, except as modied in this section. 6.4 Any joint in a conductor shall comply with the applicable standard indicated in 9.2, except that a splice is acceptable in an 18 10 AWG stranded conductor as a whole if the splice (butt splice) is made by machine brazing or welding such that the resulting

45、solid section of the stranded conductor is not longer than 1/2 inch or 13 mm, the splice does not increase the diameter of the conductor, there are no sharp points, and the distance between splices in a single conductor does not average less than 3000 ft or 915 m in any reel length of that single in

46、sulated conductor. A butt splice shall be made before insulating or after insulating and prior to further processing. Butt splices of stranded conductors made after insulating and splices of insulated solid conductors made with other than the original insulation shall be the subject of an investigat

47、ion that includes tests to determine that all electrical, physical, and mechanical properties of the original system of insulation and any jacket on the conductor have been restored at the point of each splice. All nished, insulated stranded conductors containing a butt splice or splice made with ot

48、her than the original insulation shall not be marked as an NEC type but, for polarity identication, color coding and/or surface printing of hash marks, numbers, color names, or the like are acceptable.
