Terminating at Switchgear/Equipment
When entering an electrical room or other protected area for termination on
equipment/cabinets, a junction box is required on the end of the fire resistive
rated cable in the fire rated room per the following:
1.
Once the cable enters the fire rated room, a minimum of 12 inches,
terminate the VITALink® MC/RC90 cable into the appropriate size junction
box per NEC or applicable CE CODE. Use a listed MC/RC90 connector
suitable for a corrugated copper sheath, a listed lock nut and insulating
bushing to terminate the cable to the box. Connector should be suitably
grounded. Equipment grounding conductors should be carried through and
maintained as required. Utilize a grounding hub as required.
2.
Using the appropriate raceway for the specified area, connect the junction
box to the equipment.
3.
Install appropriate thermoset wiring between the junction box and the
equipment.
RSCC’s Firewall® LSZH (NFPA 130 and NFPA 502 complaint) may
be used.
4.
Splice VITALink® MC/RC90 to the wire using an approved method. Note a
transition splice may be required based on ampacity considerations.
5.
Seal the end of the raceway in the junction box to keep gases from
migrating down into the equipment in the case of a fire. This may be done
using a pliable compound.
Note: All wiring methods and installation procedures shall comply with NEC /CE
CODE and local amendments. NEC Article 110.14 should be considered in
regard to the temperature limit of the wiring to the equipment. The VITALink®
MC/RC90 cable may be sized at 90°C if so desired. CE CODE requirements shall
be observed as applicable.
