Cables with copperclad aluminum conductors are surface printed "AL tCU-CLADl' or "Cu-Clad Al." Cables with aluminum conductors are surface printed "AL.* For termination information, see Guide AALZ information. . Cables suitable for exposure to direct rays of the sun are indicated by tag marking and marking on the surface of the cable with the designation "Sunlight Resistant." This cable may be terminated by using nonmetallie sheathed eable connectors {See Nonmetallic Sheathed Cable Connectors). If single conductor Type UF eable is terminated with a fitting not specifically recog nised for use with single conductor cable, special care should be taken to assure it is properly secured and not subject to damage. The Listing Mark of Underwriters Laboratories Inc. on the product Is the only method provided by UL to identify producta manufactured under its listing and Follow-Up Ser vice. The Listing Mark for these produets includes the name and/or symbol of Under writers Laboratories Inc. (a# illustrated in the Introduction of this Directory) together with the -word "Listed", a control number, and a produet* name. An underground feeder cable that contains copper or eopper-elad aluminum conductor has the product name, "Un derground Feeder Cable"; aa underground feeder cable that contains aluminum conductor has the product name, "Aluminum Underground Feeder Cable". 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. A4 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 ose 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 eopperAl wire" or "Use copper wire only." The latter statement indicates that wiring space or other factors make the unit substation unsuitable for aluminum conductors. Unless the unit substation is marked with both the sice and temperature rating of wire to be used, the termination provisions are based on the use of 0 C ampacities for wire sites 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 circuits has not been investigated. The Listing Mark of Underwriters Laboratories Inc. on the product is the only method pro vided by UL to identify products manufactured under its Listing and Follow-Up Service. The Listing Mark for these products includes the name and/or symbol of Underwriters Laboratories Inc. las illustrated in the Introduction of this Directory! together with the word "Listed", a control number, and the following product name: "Unit Substation". WIRES (ZGZX) Insulated wire is intended for installation and use in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
