Preface<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is the third edition of CSA C68.5, Primary shielded and concentric neutral cable for distribution utilities<\/em>. It supersedes the previous editions published in 2013 and 2007.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first edition of CSA C68.5 adapted the requirements of the following documents:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

a) ANSI\/ICEA S-94-649;<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

b) ANSI\/ICEA S-97-682;<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

c) CEA Purchasing Specification WCWG-01 (95), XLPE Primary Cable up to #4\/0 AWG; and<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

d) CEA Purchasing Specification WCWG-02 (95), XLPE Primary Feeder Cable.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The main revisions incorporated in the third edition of CSA C68.5 include the following:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

– Clarification on the four classifications of ethylene propylene rubber insulation and applicable requirements;<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

– Removal of thermally strippable insulation shield;<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

– Addition of WBS for blocked strand or WBC blocked cable for constructions incorporating water- blocking component;<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

– Removal of the word optional for Thermomechanical qualification test to clarify that this test is mandatory on jacketed cables.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This Standard is arranged to allow for selection of the individual components, such as conductors, insulation type and thickness, metallic shield or concentric neutral, and jackets, that are required for a specific installation and service conditions. Clauses 4to 9specify the materials, material characteristics, dimensions, and tests applicable to the major components of cables and, if applicable, to the design concept.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Funding in support of the consensus process of this Standard was provided by the following funders, whose assistance is acknowledged with thanks: Canadian Electricity Association (CEA), S&C Electric Canada Ltd., Fortis BC, Fortis Alberta, Maritime Electric, Newfoundland Hydro, Newfoundland Power, Schneider Electric Canada Inc., and IFD Corporation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Scope<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.1<\/p>\n

The requirements of this Standard apply to materials, constructions, and testing of tree-retardant cross- linked polyethylene and ethylene propylene rubber-insulated single conductor or triplexed primary shielded and concentric neutral power cables rated 15 to 46 kV that are used for the transmission and distribution of electrical energy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The products covered by this Standard are suitable for direct burial or installation in ducts in both wet and dry locations and where the cable will be exposed to sunlight.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.2<\/p>\n

This Standard specifies the requirements for shielded and concentric neutral cable intended primarily for operation by electric utilities.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Note: The operation of cables complying with this Standard by other than an electric utility can be subject to additional requirements by the electrical inspection authority having jurisdiction.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.3<\/p>\n

In this Standard, shall is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; should is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; may is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard; and can is used to express possibility or capability.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.4<\/p>\n

The values given in SI units are the units of record for the purposes of this Standard. Where values are given in parentheses they are for information and comparison only.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
