CAN/CSA-C68.8-11
1 Scope
1.1
This Standard specifies requirements for overhead secondary and service-entrance cables and conductors
intended primarily for operation by electrical utilities.
Note: The operation of cables and conductors complying with this Standard by other than an electrical utility can be subject
to additional requirements by an authority having jurisdiction.
1.2
The cables and conductors covered by this Standard are intended for overhead installation and for
operation at normal maximum conductor temperatures of 75 °C and 90 °C. Provision is made for
assembly of multiple conductors. Single 600 V insulated conductors are intended for field-spun
applications.
1.3
In CSA Standards, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to
satisfy in order to comply with the standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which
is advised but not required; “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the
limits of the standard; and “can” is used to express possibility or capability. Notes accompanying clauses
do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is
to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. Notes to tables and figures are considered
part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. Annexes are designated normative
(mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.
