ICEA S-94-649-2013 DATE: 3/19/13 i FOREWORD This Standards Publication for Concentric Neutral Cables Rated 5 to 46 kV (ICEA S-94-649) was developed by the Insulated Cab
14、le Engineers Association Inc. (ICEA). ICEA standards are adopted in the public interest and are designed to eliminate misunderstandings between the manufacturer and the user and to assist the user in selecting and obtaining the proper product for his particular need. Existence of an ICEA standard do
15、es not in any respect preclude the manufacture or use of products not conforming to the standard. The user of this Standards Publication is cautioned to observe any health or safety regulations and rules relative to the manufacture and use of cable made in conformity with this Standard. Requests for
16、 interpretation of this Standard must be submitted in writing to the Insulated Cable Engineers Association, Inc., P. O. Box 1568, Carrollton, Georgia 30112. An official written interpretation will be provided. Suggestions for improvements gained in the use of this Standard will be welcomed by the As
17、sociation. The ICEA expresses thanks to the Association of Edison Illuminating Companies, Cable Engineering Committee for providing the basis for some of the material included herein through their participation in the Utility Power Cable Standards Technical Advisory Committee (UPCSTAC), and to the I
