Health Care

[Mark R. Dyga]

When wiring branch circuits in patient care area's you are required to use type HCF cable. What do you do with the aluminum conductor? Do you terminate it with the ground wire or do you fold it back and wrap it around the outer sheath?

Re: Health Care

some people just cut it off. others fold it back to keep the red insulating bushing from falling out. don't terminate it.

Wrap it like a BX bond...to keep the bushing in place

Re: Health Care

Just wrap it backwards.Really not hard after the first few.At least lets pretend it has a value so we can keep prices up.
