7 Cable Storage, Handling and Preservation

 Handling
 Cable reels shall be checked for damage by store yard personnel prior to
acceptance of shipment, unloading, or handling.
 Manufacturer's special handling instructions shall be followed.
 Cable reels shall be shipped and handled on edges of flanges only (not on flat side of
flanges).
 Storage and Preservation
 Firm dry support shall be provided for storage of cable reels.
 Cable ends shall be sealed (water and dust-proof seals) and firmly secured during
shipping and storage.
 Cable reels shall be stored away from chemicals and petroleum products.
 Cable reels shall be supported off the ground and provided with a weatherproof (i.e.,
rain and dust-tight) cover.
8 General Requirement for LV Power

wet locations.
 Cable and wire for industrial locations shall be stranded (regardless of size).
 Control conductor cross-sectional-area shall be 2.5 mm² (14 AWG), or larger.
 Power conductor cross-sectional-area shall be 4 mm² (12 AWG), or larger.
 Marking - Cable and wire shall be externally marked by the manufacturer to indicate
 Maximum rated voltage
 Type letters for the cable and/or wire.

 M/C Cable - quantity and size
 Cables with a neutral conductor that is smaller than ungrounded
9 General Requirement for MV Power
Cable
 Each phase of multi-conductor cables shall be permanently identified.
 Reels shall be made of steel, or, alternatively, shall be heavy duty wood
reels.
 Substitution of IEC cable with AEIC cable, if IEC cable is specified, and vice
versa, is prohibited.
 The outer sheath (jacket) shall be polyvinyl chloride (PVC), suitable for 90°C
maximum rated conductor temperature.
