UNIT SUBSTATIONS (YEFR) This listing covers unit substations intended to be installed in accordance with the requirements of the National Electrical Code and in accordance with the installation instructions provided on the unit substation. A -unit substation consists of a transformer in combination with primary and/or secondary overcurrent protective devices .or switching, devices housed in a single enclosure. Some unit substations are suitable for use as service equipment and are so marked. Such marking is part of the listing mark as noted below, or is an integral part of other required markings. Listed unit substations are for use with copper conductors unless marked to indicate which terminals are suitable for use with aluminum conductors. Such marking shall be independent of any marking on terminal connectors and shall be on a wiring diagram or other readily visible location. If all terminals are suitable for use with aluminum conductors, the marking will indicate "Use copper or aluminum wire." A unit substation employing terminals for main or branch circuit units individually Marked Cu-Al will be marked "Use copper-Al wire" or "Use copper wire only." The latter statement indicates that wiring space or other factor* make the unit substation unsuitable for aluminum conductors. Unless the unit suhstation is marked with both the size and temperature rating of wire to be used, the termination provisions are based on the use of 60 C ampacities for wire sizes Nos. 14-1 Awg and 75 C ampacities for wire Nos. 1/0 Awg and larger. Unit substations have the secondary neutral bonded to the enclosure and have provision on the neutral for connection of a grounding conductor. A terminal is also provided on the enclosure near the line terminals for use with an equipment grounding conductor between the unit substation and the enclosure of equipment on the line side of the unit substation for use when a metallic conduit system is not provided. Unit substations are marked for outdoor use or for indoor use. The suitability of unit substations for use on high capacity cireuits has not been investigated.

Gasoline resistant wire bas been tested at 30 C when immersed in gasoline It is con sidered inherently resistant to gasoline vapors within the limits of the temperature rating of tb* wire tyjie. Gasoline resistant TFN or TFFN--Indicates a TFN and TFFM conductor with a jacket of -xtruded nylon suitable for exposure-to mineral oil. and to liquid gasoline and gasoline vapors at ordinary ambient temperature. It is identified by tag marking and by printing on the insulation or nylon jacket with the designation 'Type TFN (TFFN i Gasoline and Oil Resistant I" if siti'ahle for exposure to mineral oil at 60 C or "Type TFN (TFFN) Gasoline and Oil Resistant II" if the compound is suitable for exposure to mineral oil &t 75 C. Wires which comply with a special vertical flame test are marked "FR-1" or "VW-1 * Type FXT in sizes 20 and 18 AWG which comply with an artificial weathering test are maiked W-A. Type FXT m sizes 24-22 shall comply with the weathering test and may use the "W-A" marking. Fixture wires are classified as follows: 60 C maximum operating temperature.
