OUC Technical Specifications Summary
This document comprises technical specification sheets for the Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) establishing manufacturing and performance standards for underground primary electrical cables at 15 kV, 25 kV, and 35 kV voltage ratings. The specifications cover single-conductor cables in cross-linked polyethylene (TR-XLPE) and ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) insulation types, with conductor materials in aluminum and copper, ranging from #2 AWG through 1000 kcm. Each specification sheet details conductor composition, insulation thickness (165-205 mils for 15 kV cables; 330-400 mils for 35 kV cables), shielding requirements, jacket specifications with identifying markings and sequential footage labeling every 2 feet, and packaging requirements on non-returnable wooden reels with specified arbor hole sizes and flange dimensions. All cables must be manufactured in compliance with ANSI/ICEA S-94-649 and AEIC CS8 standards, with triple extrusion processes required for conductor shields, insulation, and insulation shields applied in a single pass. Minimum reel lengths range from 1,500 feet to 3,000 feet depending on conductor size, and delivery must occur via open flat-bed truck with forklift-capable unloading arrangements.
Comprehensive testing requirements include water blocking resistance testing per ICEA T-31-610 or T-34-664 at 5 psi with certified test reports, and connection integrity testing per ANSI C119.4 demonstrating stable resistance and temperature performance of compression-type sleeves and terminals. Approved manufacturers for TR-XLPE cables include General Cable, Hendrix, LS Cable, Nexan, Prysmian, and Southwire, while EPR cable manufacturers include Kerite, Okonite, and Prysmian. All cables must feature water-blocking compounds in conductor interstices, strippable insulation shields with specified pulling tension limits, and black polyethylene jackets with three equally-spaced red stripes. Jacket identification must include conductor size designation, insulation type designation (175 MIL TR-XLPE or 260-345 MIL EPR), manufacturer name, and year of manufacture. Heat shrink end seals are required on all cable ends to prevent moisture entry during storage and shipment, with both ends securely fastened to the reel.
