20、of Measurement 2.1 The values stated without parentheses are the requirements. Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information. 3 Undated References 3.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to th

21、e latest edition of that code or standard. 4 Glossary 4.1 For the purpose of this standard the following denitions apply: 4.2 GROUND-CHECK CONDUCTOR A conductor used in cables to monitor the continuity of the grounding circuit, so that a discontinuity or open in the grounding circuit causes the powe

22、r conductors to be de-energized. 4.3 PORTABLE POWER CABLE Cable used to supply power to mobile equipment and machinery. 4.4 XL A thermoset compound whose characteristic constituent is cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), cross-linked polyvinyl chloride (XLPVC), cross-linked ethylene vinyl acetate (XLEV

23、A), or blends thereof. CONSTRUCTION 5 General 5.1 Portable power cables consist of either a single insulated conductor or two or more insulated circuit conductors with or without grounding conductors with an overall reinforced jacket. They employ exible stranded copper conductors in a size range of

24、12 AWG to 500 kcmil (3.31 253 mm 2 ), except for single conductor Type W that employs exible stranded copper conductors in sizes 12 AWG to 1000 kcmil (3.31 507 mm 2 ). This cable is rated 2000 V, 75C (167F) or 90C (194F) dry, and 60C (140F) or 75C (167F) where exposed to oil. For cable so marked, ra

25、tings of 60C (140F), 75C (167F), or 90C (194F) wet are also assigned. The term wet indicates that the cable is acceptable for immersion in water. Wet rated cable that has been additionally investigated for use where exposed to the direct rays of the sun is marked Sunlight Resistant or Sun Res. JANUA

27、tors and a grounding conductor. The grounding conductor is either bare or covered with a green-colored braid or tape or extruded layer, and may either be a single conductor or be sectioned into two or more parts. b) Type G-GC Same as Type G except that the cable also contains one 12 AWG (3.31 mm 2 )

28、 or larger, yellow insulated conductor which is used as a ground check. c) Type W Contains one to six circuit conductors and may or may not contain a grounding conductor in cables with three or more conductors. If included, the grounding conductor is fully insulated and colored green. d) Type PPE Co

29、ntains one to six circuit conductors and may or may not contain a grounding conductor in cables with three or more conductors. If included, the grounding conductor is fully insulated and colored green. 6 Conductors 6.1 General 6.1.1 The circuit conductors shall be annealed, stranded copper, bare, or

30、 tin-coated. 6.2 Coated copper conductors 6.2.1 Each tin-coated conductor shall comply with the requirements of the Standard Specication for Tin-Coated Soft or Annealed Copper Wire for Electrical Purposes, ASTM B33. 6.2.2 A tin coating is appropriate for use on individual wires (strands) or selected

31、 wires, such as the outer layer of wires of a stranded conductor. The tin coating shall comply with 6.2.1. 6.3 Uncoated copper conductors 6.3.1 Each wire in an uncoated copper conductor shall comply with the requirements of Standard Specication for Soft or Annealed Copper Wire, ASTM B3.
