WIRES AND CABLES Clause Samples
The "Wires and Cables" clause defines the standards and requirements for the types, installation, and quality of electrical wires and cables used in a project. It typically specifies the acceptable materials, insulation ratings, and compliance with relevant codes or regulations, and may require that all wiring be properly labeled and protected against damage. By setting these guidelines, the clause ensures electrical safety, system reliability, and regulatory compliance, thereby reducing the risk of electrical hazards and future maintenance issues.
