MATERIALS
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Variations from these specifications may be
appropriate in some cases. In addition to
increasing rated circuit voltage where large
overvoltages could occur, material sizes and
strengths should be coordinated to withstand any
pulling forces which will be applied. The lower
strength of EPR, even jacketed, may at times
preclude the use of this material for long pulls.
If variations are requested by a contractor, they
should only be approved if the safety and integrity
of conservatively designed circuits are not
compromised. The use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
insulation or jacket material will not be permitted.

Wire Table
**************************************************************************
NOTE: An example typical wire table and a Format
Template for a Wire Table are located at the end of
this Section. Use this paragraph and Format
Template, if itemized characteristics for each
application are to be tabulated.
**************************************************************************
Wire and cable shall be furnished in accordance with the requirements of
the wire table [below] [appended to these specifications], and shall
conform to the detailed requirements specified herein.
2.1.2
Rated Circuit Voltages
All wire and cable shall have minimum rated circuit voltages in accordance
with NEMA WC 70.
2.1.3
Conductors
**************************************************************************
NOTE: All cable assemblies (multiple-conductor and
single-conductor) must pass, or be capable of
passing, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) 383 flame test, paragraph 2.5,
using the ribbon gas burner. Single conductors and
individual conductors of multiple-conductor cables
shall also be required to pass the flame test
described in NEMA WC 70. (This requirement was
previously restricted to cable tray applications.
