7.8.3 Branch Circuit Wiring
The manufacturer recommended wire for all branch-circuit, current-carrying
conductors is a cross-linked, polyethylene wire with a dielectric constant of 3.5
or less. XHHW and XHHW-2 type wire is a commonly available example. Avoid
wire with high carbon fiber filler, as it can contribute to increased system leak-
age current.
For all panels except MIC series, terminate connections at the circuit breaker.
For MIC series panels, terminate connections at the appropriate contactor.
Do not use wire pulling compounds to lubricate conduit.
Identification and location of secondary circuit conductors shall be in accor-
dance with NEC Article 517:
NOTE: Ensure any isolated power system conductors
are kept separate from other system circuits (isolated
or grounded). Do not include them in a common con-
duit or raceway.
NOTE: To minimize the cumulative system leakage
current, ensure the length of any branch circuit con-
ductors is as short as possible.
Type Identification and Connection Location
Isolated conductor 1
Orange with at least one distinctive color stripe OTHER THAN
white, green or gray along the entire length of the conductor.
Terminated to the upper pole of the branch breaker and to the
silver screw of each NEMA rated receptacle.
Isolated conductor 2
Brown with at least one distinctive color stripe OTHER THAN
white, green or gray along the entire length of the conductor.
Terminated to the lower pole of the branch breaker and to the
brass screw of each NEMA rated receptacle.
Equipment grounding
conductor
Green with or without yellow stripe.
