6.2 WIRES AND CABLE
a. General
Provide wires and cables with a minimum insulation rating of 600 volts.
b. Conductor
Electrical grade, annealed copper, tinned if rubber insulated, and fabricated in
accordance with JEC, SIT, JIS & SPLN standards.
c. Insulation
Type CV cross-linked polyethylene insulation or NYY PVC insulation suitable
for use in wet locations up to 90 C. Use type NYM multi- conductor cable for
lighting, receptable and motor branch circuits installed in cable tray.
d. Color Coding:
1. Provide consistent color coding of all feeders, sub-feeders, motor circuits and
the likes as follows:
Phase R Red
Phase S Yellow
Phase TBlack
Neutral Blue
Ground Green with yellow stripes
2. Color code wiring for control systems installed in conjunction with mechanical
and/or miscellaneous equipment in accordance with the wiring diagrams
furnished with the equipment.
e. Drop Voltage
1. The maximum drop voltage a long the cable used from AC PDB to the load
is 3% of the nominal voltage by using the following formula:
V = 2(I x x L) / A
Where:
V
: Drop voltage
I
: Current (A)

: Cable resistivity (Ohm.mm/Meter)

L
: Cable length (M)
A
: Cable diameter (mm)

2. Drop voltage for special application (where the drop voltage is designed on
the specific percentage more than 3% ) may be implemented upon
approval by XL- Engineering.
6.3 CONNECTORS
a. Make connections, splices, taps and joints with solder less devices,
mechanically and electrically secure. Protect exposed wires and connecting
devices with electrical tape or insulation to provide not less than that of the
conductor.
b. Branch Circuit Wires: Use any of the following types of terminals and
connecting devices.
1. Terminal Cable Key
Coiled tapered, spring wound devices with a conducting corrosionresistant coating over the spring steel and a plastic cover and skirt
providing full insulation for splice and wired ends. Screw connector on by
hand
2. Tool Applied
Steel cap, with conduction and corrosion resistant metallic plating, open at
both ends, fitted around the twisted ends of the wire and compressed or
crimped by means of special die designed for the purpose. Specially fitted
plastic or rubber insulting cover wrap over each connector.
6.4 LUBRICANT
Use lubricant only where the possibility of damage to conductors exist. Use oniy
lubricant approved by the cable manufacturer and one which is inert to cable and
raceways.
6.5 FIRE PROOF CABLE
a. Fire proof cable shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer
recommendations and instructions. Fire proof cable shall be run on
proprietary make horizontal cable trays, vertical cable ladders, trunkings or
conduits depending on the sizes. For horizontal runs, fire proof cable
Of larges sizes shall be secured neatly on the cable trays or ladders at close
interval.
b. All installation accessories shall be of manufacturers standard products.
Cable glands shall be of fire rating equal. The bending radius of the cables
measured from the inside of the bend shall be not less than eight times the
diameter of the cable.
c. Fire proof cable shall be low acid, low corrosive gas emission and low or zero
halogen (low smoke emission and non toxic).
d. Fire proof cable shall be in accordance to IEC-331 for 3 hours duration

7.0 IMPLEMENTATION
a. Provide a complete system of conductors in race way system. Mount wiring
through a specified raceway, regardless of voltage application.
b. Do not install wire in complete conduits runs nor until after the concrete work
and plastering is completed and moisture is swabbed from conduits. Eliminate
splices wherever possible. Where necessary, make splices only in readily
accessible.
c. Flashover insulation value of joints to be equal to that of the conductor.
Provide SPLN listed connectors, etc., rated at 600 volts for general use and
1.000 volts for use between ballasts and lamps of gaseous discharge fixtures.
d. Use terminating fittings, connectors, etc., of the type suitable for the specified
cable furnished. Make bends in cable at termination prior to installing
compression device. Make fittings tight.
e. Install wires in raceways and make up terminations in accordance with the
manufacturers recommendations using special washers, nuts, lubricant etc.,
as required. Strip insulation so as to avoid nicking of wire.
f. Extend wire sizing for the entire length of a circuit, feeder, etc., unless
specifically noted otherwise.
g. Provide bare copper ground conductor in each feeder or in group of feeders,
with the total current carrying capacity to be taken in consideration.
h. Cables inside ceiling shall be installed inside PVC High Impact conduits
and/or cable trays.
