�1 r t M T iy u i kl' a Cable. The connector shall require 25 pounds [100 N] of force to mate or disengage from the female end. When engaged, the connection shall be watertight and submergible. The cable strain relief shall extend approximately 2 inches [50 mm] from the connector. The length of the cable shall be the length of the pole and support arm plus 5 feet [1 .5 m]. The Distribution Block and each connector shall be made of thermosetting synthetic polymer which is non -flame supporting and which remains flexible over a temperature range of -40 to 190 °F [ -40 to 85 0C]. Hardness of the molded rubber shall be 65 durometer. 992 - 12.2.1 Testing and Performance Criteria: The system shall pass the following performance criteria in accordance with NEC 110 2: Dielectric Test - No breakdown shall occur with a test potential of 1,960 volts applied between the primary conductors (tied together) and the protective ground for a period of one minute. Leakage Current Test - Leakage current shall be measured on the mated connectors between the primary conductors and the protective ground conductor. When tested at the rated operating voltage, the leakage current shall not exceed 0.5 mA. The mated connectors shall then be wrapped in aluminum foil and the leakage current measured between the primary conductors and the foil wrap. When tested at the rated operating voltage, the leakage current shall not exceed 0.5 mA. Flame Retardant Test - Flammability tests shall be conducted on the cable, the molded body of the connectors, and the molded protective caps. These materials shall be subjected to five flame applications on for 15 seconds and off for 15 seconds. The materials shall self- extinguish within one minute upon removal of the flame and not burn through. Internal Temperature Test - The internal temperature rise of the contact area of the mated connectors shall not exceed a temperature rise of 54 °F [12 °C] referenced to 737 [23 °C] ambient temperature when operated at the maximum current rating. External Temperature Test - The external temperature rise of the mated connectors and cable shall not be greater than 54 °F [12 °C] referenced to 73 °F [23 °C] ambient temperature when operated at the maximum current rating. Fault Test - The mated connectors shall be fault tested by applying a test current of .1,000 amperes, 60 HZ, for a minimum of 3 cycles (50 ms). The mated connectors shall then satisfactorily pass the dielectric test. Drop Test - The connectors shall not break, crack or suffer other damage when subjected to eight consecutive drop tests from 3 feet [1 m] above the concrete floor with the connectors having been rotated 45 degrees between each drop. Crushing Test - No breakage or deformation shall result when the mated and unmated connectors are subjected to a crushing force of 500 pounds [2.2 kN1 for one minute. Following the crush test, the dielectric test shall be satisfactorily passed. Impact Resistance Test - No breakage or deformation shall result when the connectors are subjected to an impact caused by dropping a cylindrical 10 pound [4.5 kg] weight having a flat face 2 inches [50 mm] in diameter from a height of 18 inches [450 mm]. Flex Test - No detachment or loosening shall result when each connector is subjected to a 5,000 cycle flex test at the cable /bond area back and forth in a plane through an angle of 180 degrees. Following the flex test the dielectric test shall be satisfactorily passed. March 2007 01000 -213 03- 4122.D W E
