This section describes the power and signal cabling of LT31. The
customer is responsible for supplying the power and signal cables, and
conduits for the cables. In all field cabling, the following should be
remembered:
- Use armored field cables.
- Cables must be suitable for underground use.
- Check the cable core diameter according to maximum allowable drop,
refer to Table 7 on page 76.
- Lead the cables to the equipment through conduits.
- Check the cable conduit diameters or use additional termination
boxes.
- Ground the cable shield at both ends.
- Use spike and overvoltage protection devices at both ends of the field
cables.
It is recommended to protect the cables by putting a brightly colored,
warning plastic tape into the ground about 0.5 m above the cables and
0.2 m below the ground level.
