IEEE Trial-Use Standard for Connections of Insulated Aluminum Conductors

This standard covers connectors used for making electrical connections between insulated aluminum cables rated 601 V through 46 000 V. This standard is concerned with performance requirements for the thermal, mechanical, and current carrying characteristics of connections for the usual buried and in-air operating conditions. In cases where service conditions are unusual, the manufacturer should be contacted for additional requirements. This standard covers connections insulated tapes, field-molded compounds, or with premolded insulation systems.
