This guide is intended to outline various construction techniques relating to the installation of extruded dielectric insulated cable systems. The purpose is to provide an aid in the preparation of installation specifications for cable systems rated 69 kV and above. The design of such systems is beyond the scope of this guide.

The guide attempts to recognize the various materials and associated installation techniques presently available. There may be certain materials and installation techniques existing which are not covered in this guide. However, this does not necessarily mean that these materials or techniques are unacceptable for extruded dielectric insulated cable systems.

The various component preparations, installation and testing techniques covered in this guide must be considered as general in nature and may not be applicable to a particular installation. Local situations must be considered when applying this guide to specific projects.
