FOREWORD

This booklet lists Code Words for secondary (600 volt) underground distribution (UD) cables, and identifies theirconstructions. Reference to primary (5, 15, and 25kV) cables has been deleted as the designs included arenot current with the styles used today.

It has been the practice for many years to employ code words for bare, covered (weatherproof), and low voltagesecondary and neutral supported service drop insulated cables used in overhead systems. (Refer to TheAluminum Association publication "Code Words for Aluminum Conductors".) With the rapid expansion in theuse of UD cables in the last decade and the proliferation in the sizes, types and constructions available, theadvantages of establishing code words for these products was apparent. Consequently, manufacturers haveassigned code words to UD cables as a convenient means of concisely defining specific cable designs(conductor size, insulation type, voltage rating, neutral configuration and size, number of phase conductors andtype of assembly). The use of code words in catalogs, orders, invoices and other production and sales recordsnot only provides a brief identification for UD cables but also minimizes the chance for errors in transcribing thelonger, detailed description for each cable.

Learning from the experience gained in standardizing the code word system for overhead products, the samebasic principles were employed in the assignment of code words for UD cables accepted by and registered withthe Electrical Technical Committee of The Aluminum Association.

This booklet lists UD cable code words and identifies their constructions, includes the details of the code wordsystem and outlines the procedure for registering new code words. Preceding the tables identifying the UDcable constructions is a list of characteristics that are implied by the code word itself without any suffix. This isfollowed by a list of the suffixes to be used with the code words for designating variations in thosecharacteristics. Selected examples show how the system works.

The 600V UD cables referenced in Tables A through H2 are manufactured to the applicable ASTM, UL, andICEA specifications. Following the tables is an alphabetical listing of all UD cable code words with references tothe pages where the cable data may be found.

The booklet concludes with a list of standards and specifications relating to UD cables which are endorsed byThe Aluminum Association.

All Aluminum Association published standards, data, specifications and other material are reviewed at leastevery five years and revised, reaffirmed or withdrawn. Users are advised to contact the Aluminum Associationto ascertain whether the information in this publication has been superseded in the interim between publicationand proposed use.

CODE WORD SYSTEM FOR UD CABLE

The code word system for UD cables is similar to that employed for many years for overhead conductors andcables. Code words have been selected from a common source for each category of UD cables. The codeword, with or without suffixes, identifies a distinctive cable design. A basic cable design is designated by a codeword without suffixes (implied notations); suffixes are added where needed to delineate deviations from thebasic design. Suffix notations used with bare, covered and insulated overhead wires and cables are retained,where applicable, and are supplemented by additional suffixes to identify features of UD cables not found inoverhead products.

This system provides not only a logical and consistent basis for assigning code words, but also serves tobroadly identify the UD cable category. For the 600V UD cable category, the code word source was “collegesand universities”. The code word source is registered with the Aluminum Association.

PROCEDURE FOR REGISTERING CODE WORDSFOR UD CABLES

WITH THE ALUMINUM ASSOCIATION

1. Submit code word to The Aluminum Association with a complete description of the cable design it isintended to designate. (Words submitted may be chosen by the registrant or assigned by the Associationoffice. Code words should be selected from the source used for the UD cable category involved withoutduplicating the code word for any other wire or cable product.)

2. If the word submitted does not appear on the Association Master List it will then be referred to the ElectricalTechnical Committee. (In the case of registration by a member of that Committee, copies of the initial letterrequesting registration may be sent to other members of the Committee, thus combining Steps 1 and 2.)

3. Revised listings will be issued from time to time, as required.

600 VOLT UD CABLEEXPLANATION OF

IMPLIED AND SUFFIX NOTATIONS

A) Code word without suffixes (Implied Notations). Construction details of basic cable design:

1. Type of construction of completed cable

2. H19 temper, aluminum 1350, solid or concentric* stranded phase conductor/s

3. Standard thickness of phase conductor insulation

4. Type of phase conductor insulation - low density high molecular weight polyethylene

5. Type of neutral - stranded conductor or served wires

6. Neutral construction:

a. Stranded conductor - size, stranding and metal

b. Served wire - number and size of wires, metal, and approximate equivalent size

7. Bare or insulated (black or yellow) neutral

B) Suffix notations (other than implied) used to designate special features:

1. Aluminum 1350 phase conductor:

a. 0 - Annealedb. H12 or H22 - One Quarter Hardc. H14 or H24 - Half Hardd. H16 or H26 - Three Quarter Harde. H142 or H242 - Half to Three Quarter Hard

2. AA8000 - AA8000 Series Electrical Aluminum Alloy conductor material

3. Cpt - Compact stranding (phase conductor)

4. HD - High density polyethylene

5. XLP - Crosslinked polyethylene

6. YS** - Black neutral with yellow stripe(s)

7. EYS** or YES** - Black neutral with extruded yellow stripe(s)

8. AR - Abuse Resistant cable to ICEA S-81-570

9. USE or USE-2 - to signify UL approval required

* Note: concentric stranding includes compressed, unilay, or combination unilay type stranding.

**Note: YS, EYS, and YES notations are only applicable to black neutral code words.
