5. Definitions and Abbreviations:
5.1 Ampacity: The current in amperes that a conductor can carry continuously under the
conditions of use without exceeding its temperature rating.
5.2 Cable: Conductor with insulation or a stranded conductor with or without insulation
covering (single conductor cable), or a combination of conductors insulated from one
another conductor cable).
5.3 Conductor: Any carrier of electric current. In practical terms, a wire or cable is designed
to carry electric current. A conductor can be insulated or uninsulated, depending on the
application. Examples include wire, cable and bus bar.
4
5.4 Concentric Neutral Cable: A two-conductor cable consisting of an insulated wrapped in

a copper neutral conductor.
5.5 Duct Bank: A group of ducts or conduit usually encased in concrete in a trench.
5.6 Direct Buried: Also referred to as URD or underground distribution. Cable is laid in a
trench and directed to specific locations through the use of pad-mount transformers,
switchgear, centres, riser poles.
5.7 Heat Shrink: A material used to connect two pieces of conductors together. The material
shrinks to fit when heat is applied.
5.8 Insulation: Non-conductive material that is applied over a conductor (e.g. cable, wire) to
insulate a conductor from other conductors or ground.
5.9 Jacket (the outer covering of a cable): A tough plastic material that provides physical
protection for the cable. Jacketed cable protects against physical damage and corrosion,
thus reducing the risk of damage to the primary neutral.
5.10 Handhole: A subsurface enclosure which personnel may enter; handholes are for
installing, operating and maintaining underground cable systems.
5.11 Splice: The joining of two or more cables by connecting the conductor’s pair to pair.
5.12 Shield (Screen): A metallic layer usually in the form of a braid of foil surrounding one or
more electrical conductors to insulate them from electromagnetic interference.
5.13 Overcurrent: Any current in excess of the rated current of equipment or the ampacity of
a conductor. It may result from overload, short circuit, or ground fault.
5.14 Overload: Operation of equipment in excess of normal, full-load rating, or of a conductor

in excess of rated ampacity that, when it persists for a sufficient length of time, would cause
damage or dangerous overheating. A fault, such as a short circuit or ground fault, is not an
overload.
