Standard for Installing and Maintaining Medium-Voltage Cable

active, Most Current
Organization: NECA
Publication Date: 1 January 2020
Status: active
Page Count: 48
scope:

Products and Applications Included

This standard describes installation procedures for shielded and non-shielded solid-dielectric medium-voltage cables rated from 2001 Volts to 35,000 Volts AC and installed in conduits or ducts, or direct-buried. This publication applies to single-and multi-conductor cables used for distributing power for commercial, institutional, and industrial loads in nonhazardous locations both indoors and outdoors.

This Standard also covers periodic routine maintenance and troubleshooting procedures for medium-voltage cable, and special procedures used after adverse operating conditions such as a short circuit or ground-fault.

Products and Applications Excluded

This publication does not apply to the following:

1. Paper Insulated Lead Cable (PILC).

2. Fluid- or gas-filled cable.

3. Overhead cable.

4. Messenger supported cable.

5. Exposed cable.

6. Cable installed in cable trays.

7. Cable installed in hazardous locations.

Regulatory and Other Requirements

All information in this publication is intended to conform to the National Electrical Code® (ANSI/NFPA Standard 70). Installers shall always follow the NEC®, applicable State and local codes, and manufacturer's instructions when installing electrical equipment and systems.

Only qualified persons as defined in the NEC familiar with the construction and installation of electrical power distribution and control systems and equipment shall perform the technical work described in this publication. Administrative functions and other tasks can be performed under the supervision of a qualified person. All work shall be performed in accordance with NFPA 70E, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace.

General requirements for installing electrical products and systems are described in NECA 1-2010, Standard Practices for Good Workmanship in Electrical Construction (ANSI). Other National Electrical Installation Standards provide additional guidance for installing particular types of electrical products and systems. A complete list of NEIS is provided in Annex B.
