GROUNDING CABLE

Legend:   A: Conductor    B: PVC Insulation / Jacket

Description:

This specification covers single conductor grounding cable insulated with clear Polyvinyl Chloride. These cables are suitable for use as a temporary grounding cable whenever an overhead line or other electric equipment is being repaired to prevent accidents which might occur if the equipment should become energized. Since cables of this type are predominantly subject to mechanical stresses, the clear PVC covering is designed to allow for quick location of conductor damage. During normal useage, these cables are at ground potential, but may have to momentarily withstand full line voltage in the event that the equipment is accidently energized.

Conductor:

Soft annealed copper per ASTM B-3, rope lay stranded per ASTM B- 1 72, Class K.

Insulation:

Ultra-violet stabilized, clear Polyvinyl Chloride with a Blue Tint meeting the following requirements:
