Where cables are to be terminated directly into a UK Power Networks’ cut-out, the outgoing cables (to be supplied by You for termination into the cut-out by UK Power Networks will either be a single run or double run per phase with each run conforming to the following specification;
70 - 300mm² sector stranded conductor
95 - 300mm² sector solid conductor
50 - 300mm² round stranded conductor
100 - 300mm² stranded conductor
70 - 240mm² round solid conductor
Where UK Power Networks has installed a CT chamber, the outgoing cables will terminate onto 1 x termination per phase of (Sicame - UMT300 (shear head connector) and the cable. Acceptable cable sizes are:
1 x (70mm² - 300mm²) solid aluminium sectorial conductors
