I'• it No Load Endurance Test - No excessive wear shall result when the male and female connectors and protective cap and female connector were subjected to 2,000 cycles of complete insertion and withdrawal. Rain Test - The mated and capped connectors shall be subjected to a continuous water spray (simulating worst case outdoor rain down pour) for at least one hour at a rate of at least 18 inches [450 mm] per hour at an operating pressure of 5 psi [34 kPa]. The dielectric and leakage current tests shall be satisfactorily passed. The connectors shall be unmated and caps removed. Inspection shall indicate that water had been successfully prevented from reaching the contact areas of the connectors. Watertight (Immersion) Tests - The mated and capped connectors shall be immersed in water for one hour in which the highest point of the test samples is at least 3 feet [1 m] below the water level. Immediately following the immersion, a satisfactory dielectric and leakage current tests shall be performed. The connectors shall be unmated and caps removed. Inspection shall indicate that water had been successfully prevented from reaching the contact areas of the connectors. Exposure to Deteriorating Liquids - The cable and connectors shall be dried at 212 °F [100 °C] for one hour. The samples shall then be immersed in ASTM Reference Oil No. I and ASTM Reference Fuel C liquids for one hour. The samples shall show no evidence of bubbling, cracking or corrosion. Within one hour after being removed from the fluids, the test samples shall satisfactorily pass the flammability test. El 992 - 12.2.2 Qualified Products List: Pole Cable Distribution Systems installed as alternates to the Design Standards, Index No. 17500, shall be one of the products listed on the Qualified Products List. Manufacturers seeking evaluation of their product shall submit an application in accordance with Section 6. 992 -12.3 General (Highmast Lighting): These requirements are applicable for all systems rated up to and including 600 V. A modular cable system consisting of rubber covered cables with watertight connectors, and surge arrestor shall be installed. The cables shall extend from an 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 highmast pole.. Power Cable: This cable shall be a 15 foot [4.6 m] section of 10/3 SOWA cable that is wired to the line side of the Circuit Breaker in the pole and the other end shall be spliced to the distribution cable that feeds through the underground junction box near the base of the pole. Circuit Breaker Cable: This cable is a 8 foot [2.4 m] length of 10/3 SOWA cable with no connector at the end that is fed from the load side of the circuit breaker and a female connector on the other end. This female connector shall mate with the male plug on the pole cable, the male flanged receptacle on the ring junction box, and also the male plug on the lowering hoist. Pole Cable: The length of this cable is the mounting height of the pole plus 6 feet [1.8 m]. The cable shall be 10/3 SOWA with a male plug on one end that mates with the connector on the circuit breaker cable. The other end fits under the lugs in junction box mounted on the fixture ring at the top of the pole. Junction Box Cable: This cable is a 3 foot [1 m] length of 10/3 SOWA cable with a female connector on one end that fits the male flanged receptacle on the ring mounted junction box. The other end shall fit under the same lugs as the pole cable. March 2007 01000 -214 03- 4122.D
