All electric cables utilized shall be in good material condition, free of tears, cracks or poorly repaired insulation. Cables shall be sized such that the voltage drop between the substation secondary and the ship’s shore power connection does not exceed 4% at full load. All three phases shall be carried in each cable. All conductors of each cable shall be of equal cross-sectional area. Cable lengths shall be of equal length +/- 10% of the average length. Cables shall be routed such that there is sufficient slack to allow for natural movement of the ship with tide and weather, but length shall not be excessive such that the cables be allowed to fall into the water or become trapped between the ship’s hull and the pier. Cables shall avoid sharp edges and tight bends, and proper strain relief shall be provided for vertical runs. Cables shall be protected from pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
