CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />SPECIFICATIONS <br />PROJECT NO.: XX-XXXX <br />PROJECT TITLE <br /> <br />90 <br />4.17 CONDUCTORS AND CABLES <br />Conductors shall conform to the provisions in Section 86-1.02F, “Conductors and <br />Cables,” and Section 87-1.03F, “Conductors and Cable Installations,” of the Caltrans <br />Standard Specifications and these Special Provisions. <br />New and modified traffic signals shall utilize multiple conductor traffic signal cable <br />conforming to the provisions in Section 86-2.08D, “Signal Cable,” of the Caltrans <br />Standard Specifications, the plans, and these Special Provisions. <br />Individual conductors shall not be used for new traffic signal installations or <br />modifications of existing traffic signals unless specifically directed by the Engineer and <br />shown on the plans. <br />Each traffic signal pole shall be served by a single 12 CSC cable per each two vehicle <br />phases. Each pedestrian push button or bicycle push button assembly shall be served by a <br />single 3 CSC. The 12 CSC and 3 CSC cables shall be run continuous between terminal <br />block terminals and traffic signal controller cabinet load switch bay terminals. Splices <br />will not be allowed and no daisy-chaining of traffic signal cables shall be permitted. <br />Mastarm mounted traffic signal indications shall be connected to the side mount vehicle <br />indication terminal box using a 5 CSC. Three section and four section vehicle indications <br />shall use a single 5 CSC. Five section vehicle indications shall use 2-5 CSC. 5 CSC shall <br />be run continuous between the signal indication and the side mount vehicle indication <br />terminal box and no splicing will be allowed. Multiple indications for the same vehicle <br />phase shall not use the same 5 CSC. Each CSC shall be labeled in a permanent, color - <br />coded manner at the side mount vehicle indication terminal box, such that the vehicle <br />phase and placement are noted on the cable. For example, Ø2 Inboard would indicate the <br />cable serving the indication closest to the traffic signal mastarm pole. <br />4.18 WIRING <br />Wiring shall conform to Section 86-1.02H, “Splicing Materials,” Section 86-1.02I, <br />“Connectors and Terminals,” Section 87-1.03H, “Conductor and Cables Splices,” and <br />Section 87-1.03I, “Connectors and Terminals,” of the Caltrans Standard Specifications <br />and these Special Provisions. <br />If necessary, multiple lighting circuit conductors can be soldered and insulated by <br />"Method B" as shown in Caltrans Standard Plan ES-13A. Conductors No. 8 AWG or <br />larger shall be spliced by the use of “C” shaped compression connectors and soldering. <br />Compression-type terminals (spade or eyelet) shall not be permitted for termination on <br />solid conductors. <br />505 E Central Ave <br />#B11/6/2024
