1、 ABOUT The member companies of The Aluminum Association, Inc., represent approximately 85 percent of domestic production of primary ingot and shipments of U.S. aluminum mill products. Mill products include sheet and plate; foil; extrusions; electrical conductor and wire, rod and bar. In addition to
2、producers of primary ingot and mill products, the associations membership also includes secondary smelters, foundries and producers of master alloy and additives. The association is a primary source of statistics, standards, and economic and technical information on aluminum and the aluminum industr
3、y in the United States. NOTICE Disclaimer The use of any information contained herein by any member or non-member of The Aluminum Association is entirely voluntary.

Reference to prima
10、ry (5, 15, and 25kV) cables has been deleted as the designs included are not current with the styles used today. It has been the practice for many years to employ code words for bare, covered (weatherproof), and low voltage secondary and neutral supported service drop insulated cables used in overhe
11、ad systems. (Refer to The Aluminum Association publication “Code Words for Aluminum Conductors“.) With the rapid expansion in the use of UD cables in the last decade and the proliferation in the sizes, types and constructions available, the advantages of establishing code words for these products wa
12、s apparent. Consequently, manufacturers have assigned code words to UD cables as a convenient means of concisely defining specific cable designs (conductor size, insulation type, voltage rating, neutral configuration and size, number of phase conductors and type of assembly). The use of code words i
13、n catalogs, orders, invoices and other production and sales records not only provides a brief identification for UD cables but also minimizes the chance for errors in transcribing the longer, detailed description for each cable. Learning from the experience gained in standardizing the code word syst
14、em for overhead products, the same basic principles were employed in the assignment of code words for UD cables accepted by and registered with the Electrical Technical Committee of The Aluminum Association. This booklet lists UD cable code words and identifies their constructions, includes the deta
15、ils of the code word system and outlines the procedure for registering new code words. Preceding the tables identifying the UD cable constructions is a list of characteristics that are implied by the code word itself without any suffix. This is followed by a list of the suffixes to be used with the
16、code words for designating variations in those characteristics. Selected examples show how the system works. The 600V UD cables referenced in Tables A through H2 are manufactured to the applicable ASTM, UL, and ICEA specifications. Following the tables is an alphabetical listing of all UD cable code
17、 words with references to the pages where the cable data may be found. The booklet concludes with a list of standards and specifications relating to UD cables which are endorsed by The Al um nu m Associati on. All Aluminum Association published standards, data, specifications and other material are
18、reviewed at least every five years and revised, reaffirmed or withdrawn. Users are advised to contact the Aluminum Association to ascertain whether the information in this publication has been superseded in the interim between publication and proposed use. 2 CODE WORD SYSTEM FOR UD CABLE The code wo
19、rd system for UD cables is similar to that employed for many years for overhead conductors and cables. Code words have been selected from a common source for each category of UD cables. The code word, with or without suffixes, identifies a distinctive cable design. A basic cable design is designated
20、 by a code word without suffixes (implied notations); suffixes are added where needed to delineate deviations from the basic design. Suffix notations used with bare, covered and insulated overhead wires and cables are retained, where applicable, and are supplemented by additional suffixes to identif
21、y features of UD cables not found in overhead products. This system provides not only a logical and consistent basis for assigning code words, but also serves to broadly identify the UD cable category. For the 600V UD cable category, the code word source was “colleges and universities”. The code wor
22、d source is registered with the Aluminum Association. PROCEDURE FOR REGISTERING CODE WORDS FOR UD CABLES WITH THE ALUMINUM ASSOCIATION 1. 2. 3. Submit code word to The Aluminum Association with a complete description of the cable design it is intended to designate. (Words submitted may be chosen by
23、the registrant or assigned by the Association office. Code words should be selected from the source used for the UD cable category involved without duplicating the code word for any other wire or cable product.) If the word submitted does not appear on the Association Master List it will then be ref
24、erred to the Electrical Technical Committee. (in the case of registration by a member of that Committee, copies of the initial letter requesting registration may be sent to other members of the Committee, thus combining Steps 1 and 2.) Revised listings will be issued from time to time, as required.
