C. Belden Company. <br />d. Alpha Cable Company. <br />PART 3 — EXECUTION <br />3.1 Preparation <br />A. Completely clean and thoroughly swab all raceways before pulling conductors. <br />3.2 BUILDING WIRE INSTALLATION <br />A. The number of conductors indicated on the drawings for the various circuits are <br />minimum requirements. The actual number of conductors installed for each circuit <br />shall in no case be less than the number indicated, and the CONTRACTOR shall <br />increase quantities to suit the actual equipment selected for installation and shall do <br />so at no additional cost to the OWNER. <br />All wire and cable shall be installed in a neat and workmanlike manner and shall be <br />neatly formed in all junction boxes, pullboxes and at the terminal enclosures. A <br />permanent number at each end shall identify each conductor. <br />B. Use stranded copper THHN/THWN conductors not smaller than 12 AWG for power <br />and lighting circuits. <br />C. Use stranded copper THHN/THWN conductors not smaller than 14 AWG for control <br />circuits. <br />D. Pull all conductors into raceways in one pull. <br />E. Use suitable wire pulling lubricants as required. Conductors No.2 AWG and smaller <br />shall be hand pulled. <br />F. Protect all exposed conductors from damage, concrete and paint prior to use. <br />G. Neatly train and lace wiring inside all enclosures and panelboards. Provide excess <br />length where possible. <br />H. Clean conductor surfaces before installing lugs and connectors. Treat with Thomas & <br />Betts coppershield prior to installing lugs. <br />I. Provide terminations capable of carrying full ampacity of conductors with no <br />perceptible temperature rise. All conductors shall be free from splices. <br />J. Use split bolts for copper conductor splices and taps, 6 AWG and larger. Tape <br />uninsulated conductors and connector with electrical tape to 150 percent of insulation <br />rating of conductor minimum nuts. Tape shall be Scotch 33+ by 3M or approved <br />equal. <br />City of Santa Ana Wire and Cable <br />Security Management System Project Page 16123-3 <br />SantaAna SMS_16123 <br />
