Scope

1.1
This Standard specifies construction and testing of mine power feeder cables normally used for power distribution in stationary or semi-stationary applications that are covered by CAN/CSA-M421 and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I.

This Standard covers cables with voltage levels of 5, 8, 15, and 25 kV rated at 100% and 133% insulation levels.

1.2
This Standard specifies the following category of cable: Clause Category 4 Mine power feeder and mine power feeder with ground-check conductor

1.3
The cable constructions specified in Clause 4 of this Standard are suitable for use at a maximum conductor temperature of 90 °C under normal operating conditions, in wet or dry locations, outdoors, or in underground mines, and in rugged environments.

1.4
This Standard does not specify all types, sizes, or temperature and voltage ratings of mine power feeder cables that can be required for particular applications.

1.5
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; and may is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard.
