Full Description

Scope

Cable performance requirements mentioned in this section are particular requirements which should be considered in specifying cable for installation in generating stations. Certain requirements, such as radiation, apply only to nuclear generating stations. No one cable characteristic should be emphasized to the serious detriment of others. A balance of cable characteristics, as well as good installation, design, and construction practices, is necessary to provide a sound cable system.

Purpose

This document has been developed as a guide for the design and installation of wire and cable systems in generating stations with the objective of minimizing failures and their consequences. This guide is not intended for use in design considerations of wire and cable systems in switchyards or substations. Although the function of this document is a design guide, some of the problem solutions are presented in the wording of recommended practices. Users of the guide should be aware that the recommendations offered do not represent the only acceptable practices available for solution of the problems. They do represent principles and methods which are consistent with the goals of this guide. This guide applies to both nuclear and nonnuclear electric power generating stations.
