1. Is there a specified AMP rating for the Type K 4/0 Cable 400 AMPS?

a. Answer: I’m not sure about amperage but we require cables to be rated to 600V.

2. Type K EPDM Jacketed Cables are rated to -40 C. Given the arctic environment, is the end user requesting cables that are rated -60C ?

a. Answer: -40C would be adequate.

3. The salient characteristics state the cables are to be color coded. Given the cam locks are color coded can the end user offer black cable or is the end user requesting solid colors for each phase, neutral, ground cable?

a. Answer: We would prefer the entire cable to be color coded. This would ease routing in a rats nest configuration which will inevitably happen. If unable that’s okay too.

4. What are the connector specifications for the 50 amp extension cord?

a. Answer: 100ft length, 125/250 V
