Low voltage control wiring shall be multi-conductor stranded copper, minimum size 18 AWG, with 10 mils TFE Teflon insulation fully color coded, rated 300 volts with Teflon outerjacket. Teflon covering shall comply with the requirements of NFiPA 72D for use in aplenum ceiling. It shall be clearly marked for this service. Control wiring installed outdoors shall be run in watertight IMC conduit and all splices shall be in electrical boxes. All wiring shall be color coded to identify phases, neutral and ground. Color code shall be in accordance with NEC and as follows: VOLTAGE CONDUCTORS 120/208 277/460 Phase A Black Brown Phase B Red Orange Phase C Blue Yellow Neutral White Gray Ground Green Green

Wire and Cable. Type THWN for underground or wet location; Type THHN for dry locations. Service entrance conductors shall be Type XHHW, RHW, or THWN. All conductors serving circuits smaller than 100 amps will be copper. Conductors serving circuits 100 amps and larger may be aluminum maintaining amperage ratings of the copper conductors specified and providing larger conduits where required, including spare conduit capacity if same is indicated on the plans. All conductor sizes #8 AWG and larger will be stranded. Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) or Intermediate Metallic Conduit (IMC) where concealed in wall and above ceilings; galvanized rigid steel (GRS) where exposed and subject to damage. Schedule 40 PVC where installed below grade or in concrete (convert to IMC or GRS 6" below bottom of slab).

Wire and Cable. 2.28.1. Factory manufactured field interface cables to be provided, as required, for all: 2.28.1.1. audio control boards 2.28.1.2. station audio boards 2.28.1.3. audio input boards 2.28.1.4. paging amplifier boards 2.28.1. 5. telephone line boards 2.28.2.

Wire and Cable. 1. Wire shall be copper conductor minimum 75°C insulation, THHN minimum = 12 AWG unless otherwise noted. All wiring shall be in conduit. (a) Flexible conduit: steel. (b) EMT connectors: steel, set screw or water tight. (c) Provide fish-cord in all empty conduits. (d) EMT to be steel. (e) Insulating bushings to be on all terminations of conduit one and one-quarter inch (1-1/4") and larger unless otherwise noted on the construction drawings. 2. All wire and cable shall be of soft drawn annealed copper wire having a conductivity of not less than ninety-eight percent (98%) of that of pure copper, except that wire size No. 2 and larger where indicated on the drawings by the symbol “Al” shall be EC grade aluminum. All aluminum conductors shall be terminated with compression fittings of the type specified hereinafter. The use of aluminum conductors not terminated with compression fittings is unacceptable. The Tenant’s Contractor shall provide copper conductors of the same capacity instead of aluminum conductors indicated by symbol "Al” for electrical equipment that will not properly accept compression fittings. Places where use of Bellville washers is prohibited, modifications in fittings, bare conductors in panel gutters, etc., are examples of some situations that do not permit the proper acceptance of compression fittings.
