(REV 2 -3 -05) (FA 2 -9 -05) (1 -06) ARTICLE 992 -12 (Pages 940 -944) is deleted and the following substituted: 992 -12 Pole Cable Distribution System. 992 -12.1 Conductor Splices: Unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer, splices shall be made with split bolt connectors. The connector shall be sealed in silicone gel that easily peels away leaving a clean connection. The gel will be contained in a closure that when snapped around the split bolt will provide a waterproof connection without the use of tools or taping. This closure will be UV resistant, impact resistant and abrasion resistant. 992 -12.2 General (Roadway Lighting): These requirements are applicable for all systems rated up to and including 600 V. The installed system shall be in compliance with the Design Standards, Index No. 17500, or as an alternate, shall meet the following requirements: A modular color coded cable system consisting of rubber cords with integrally molded watertight submergible connectors, inline fuses, submergible surge arrestor and breakaway connectors shall be installed. The cables shall extend from a underground junction box near the base of the pole to the luminaires at the top of the pole. A cable system shall be required at each pole. The cable system shall consist of the following described components: Distribution Block: The red molded body shall contain a three wire female outlet integrally molded to a 24 inch [600 mm] length of 12/3 SOWA cable with an end molded to the body and the other end shall be spliced in the field to the distribution cable that feeds through the underground junction box near the base of the pole. The block shall be watertight and submergible when the integrally fused plug on the power cable is engaged and fully seated. Dimensions shall be approximately 2 by 3 by 3 inches [50 by 75 by 75 mm]. The size is important because of limited space. Surge Arrestor Cable: Provide a 12 inch [300 mm] length of 10/2 SOWA cable with a red male plug to match the red female connector cable extending from the fused plug on the power cable. The other end of the surge arrestor cable shall be integrally molded to a MOV submergible surge arrestor. The red male plug shall make a submergible connection when mated to the red female connector on the power cable, Power Cable: This cable feeds the Luminaire Cable and the Surge Arrestor Cable from the load side of its integrally fused red male plug end. The red fused plug shall contain FNQ 10 amp 600 volt fuses (13/32 by 1 1/2 inch) [(10 by 40 mm)] or equal. A solid copper slug shall be installed on neutral side for line to neutral service. Both lines shall be fused for line to line service. The section that feeds the Luminaire Cable shall be a 10 foot [3 m] section of 14/3 SOWA cable with an orange female connector molded to the end extending up into the base of the pole. This female connector shall pass easily through a standard size 35 PVC elbow and make a submergible connection when mated with the orange male plug on the Luminaire Cable. The section that feeds the Surge Arrestor Cable shall be 12 inches [300 mm] in length of 10/2 SOWA cable with a red female connector on the end. The red female connector shall make a submergible connection when mated to the red male plug on the Surge Arrestor Cable. Luminaire Cable: This cable is a variable length of 14/3 SOWA cable with an orange male molded plug molded to match the orange female end of the Power March 2007 01000 -212 03- 4122.D "' a
