ICEA S-70-547:2000

This standard applies to the materials, constructions, and testing of
weather-resistant
polyethylene covered conductors, rated for 75 °C or 90 °C
normal service temperature. These
conductors are intended primarily for the distribution of electrical
energy under normal conditions
of overhead (aerial) installations and service outdoors.

The coverings carry no voltage rating, and the conductors must be
installed on insulators adequate
for the service voltage. The user may want to give consideration to
the dielectric compatibility of
the covering, insulator, and conductor/insulator tie.

When reference is made in this publication to an industry standard,
that reference is to the
standard with the title and date of issue listed in Appendix A. Where
a conflict exists between the
requirements of this standard and those of a referenced standard, the
requirements of this standard
shall apply.

The recommended bending radii for conductors is given in Appendix B.

U.S. Customary units, except for temperature, are specified throughout
this standard and are the
controlling units. International System of Units (SI) equivalents are
also included. The
rounding-off method of ASTM E 29 shall be used for determining
conformance with requirements. To
convert from an English unit to the appropriate SI unit, multiply the
value of the English unit by
the appropriate number from Appendix C.
