Hello one and all

I am currently working on a mining project based in site that follows the NFC 15-100 (French Standards). The standards are unfortunately presented in France and using Google translate tends to deviate the terminology substantially. I therefore request that anyone whose familiar with these standards answer the following question.

I am looking for any installation standards/rules when it comes to installing unarmored cables in the air. I am referring to any rules/standards that one would follow when connecting unarmored cables from a cable rack to a electrical equipment present in a mining plant. Kindly refer page numbers or headings that may assist me in this regard from the NFC 15-100 french standards.

Your advice will be highly appreciated!

 

I wish Alcat the very best luck. Interpretation of some standards, even without the translation issues, can be a very real challenge.

 

I would recommend finding someone that actually has experience implementing those standards, as opposed to seeking advice from strangers on the Internet -- after all, it's going to be YOUR skin in the game.

There's almost certain industry trade organizations that you can turn to for assistance. If nothing else, find an engineer that works for a competitor and take them out for lunch. You aren't trying to steal trade secrets, and most engineers are far more interested in doing things right to protect the industry and profession as a whole than giving a competitor bad advice.
