Note: The polyvalent or ETSI power-and-ground assembly
accommodates power non-Super Flex input cables from No. 6 AWG
2
(13.3 mm ) up to 2 AWG (33.62 mm
codes accept the equipment, using the assembly to accommodate power
input cabling at the BIP can be a much simpler installation method at
your site. See "Power cable specifications with a polyvalent assembly"
(page 147) or "Power cable specifications with an ETSI assembly"
(page 149).
If, according to the National Electrical Code (NEC), 100 A protectors are
being used between the site power source and the BIP, and the room's ambient
temperature can reach 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit), a cluster
of 8 power conductors running over 2 feet with a cable insulation rating of 90
degrees Celsius (194 degrees Fahrenheit) is required for a 97.58 A current.
These specifications are met by using 1/0 AWG cable.
All power cables must meet the requirements of the country of installation.
For example, use cable with a rating such as CSA or UL VW-1. For the
ratings, see the table "North American ratings for cable" (page 145).

Additional information about cables used in a setup with an ac rectifier is
included in "Power cable specifications when using ac rectifiers" (page 152).
