ST. BARBARA CATHOLIC SCHOOL TASK 2 75-24272-01 <br />DIOCESE OF ORANGE SEPTEMBER 12TH, 2024 <br />SANTA ANA, CA BID & PERMIT SET <br /> <br />LOW-VOLTAGE ELECTRICAL POWER CONDUCTORS AND CABLES 260519 - 3 <br />D. Use solid conductor for feeders and branch circuits 10 AWG and smaller. <br />E. Use stranded conductors for control circuits. <br />F. Use conductor not smaller than 12 AWG for power and lighting circuits. <br />G. Use conductor not smaller than 16 AWG for control circuits. <br />H. Low voltage control wiring shall be No. 18 AWG minimum, insulated cable for each <br />conductor. Voltage rating of cable shall be suitable for either Class I or Class II, remote control <br />or signal circuit, as determined by the code and the actual installation. <br />I. Use 10 AWG conductors for 20 ampere, 120 volt branch circuits longer than 75 feet (450-m). <br />J. Use 10 AWG conductors for 20 ampere, 277 volt branch circuits longer than 200 feet (600-m). <br />K. Install all conductors in a single raceway at one time, insuring that conductors do not cross one <br />another while being pulled into raceway. Leave sufficient cable at all fittings or boxes and <br />prevent conductor kinks. Keep all conductors within the allowable tension and exceeding the <br />minimum-bending radius. <br />L. Use suitable wire pulling lubricant for building wire 4 AWG and larger. Lubricants for wire <br />pulling shall conform to UL requirements for the insulation and raceway material. <br />M. Provide conductor supports as required by Code and recommended by the cable manufacturer. <br />Where required, provide cable supports in vertical conduits similar to OZ Gedney Type CMT <br />and provide the lower end of conduit with OZ Gedney Type KVF ventilators. <br />N. No splicing or joints will be permitted in either feeder or branch circuits except at outlet or <br />accessible junction boxes. <br />O. Neatly train and lace wiring inside boxes, equipment, and panelboards. <br />P. Clean conductor surfaces before installing lugs and connectors. <br />Q. Make splices, taps, and terminations to carry full ampacity of conductors with no perceptible <br />temperature rise. Keep splices in underground junction boxes, handholes, and manholes to an <br />absolute minimum. Where splices are necessary, use resin pressure splices and resin splicing <br />kits manufactured by the 3M Company to totally encapsulate the splice. Arrange the splicing <br />kit to minimize the effects of moisture. <br />R. Use split bolt connectors for copper conductor splices and taps, 6 AWG and larger. Tape <br />uninsulated conductors and connector with electrical tape to 150 percent of insulation rating of <br />conductor. <br />S. Use solderless pressure connectors with insulating covers for copper conductor splices and taps, <br />8 AWG and smaller. <br />T. Use insulated spring wire connectors with plastic caps for copper conductor splices and taps, 10 <br />AWG and smaller.
