<br />one 1 ayer of rubber or synthet i c rubber tape and one 1 ayer of plastic <br />tape, one-half lapped, extending at least 1 1/2 inches on each side of <br />the joint.' <br />," <br />, ,- <br />d) Factory Molded Plug-In Splices. These shall be made by <br />plugging directly into mating connectors. In all cases, the joint <br />where the connectors come together shall be wrapped with at least one <br />layer of rubber or synthetic rubber tape and one layer of plastic tape, <br />one-half lapped, extending at least 1 1/2 inches on each side of the <br />joint. <br /> <br />e) Taped Splices...Not to be Used. <br /> <br />3.9 Bare Counterpoise Wire Installation and Grounding For Lightning <br />Protection. If shown in the plans or specified in job specifications, <br />a stranded bare copper wire, No.8 AWG minimum size, shall be installed <br />for 1 ightning protection of the underground cable. The bare <br />counterpoise wire shall be installed in the same trench for the entire <br />length of the insulated cables it is designed to protect and shall be <br />placed at a distance of approximately four inches from the insulated <br />cable. The counterpoise wire shall be securely attached to each light <br />fixture base or mounting stake. The counterpoise wire shall also be <br />securely attached to copper or copper clad ground rods installed not <br />more than 1,000 feet apart around the entire circuit. The ground rods <br />shall be of the length and diameter specified in the plans, but in no <br />case shall they be less than 8 feet long nor less than 5/8 inch in <br />diameter. <br /> <br />The Counterpoise system shall terminate at the transformer vault <br />or at the power source. It shall be securely attached to the vault or <br />equipment grounding system. The connections shall be made as shown in <br />the project plans and specifications. <br /> <br />3.10 Testing. The Contractor shall furnish all necessary equipment <br />and appliances for testing the underground cable circuits after <br />installation. The Contractor shall test and demonstrate to the <br />satisfaction of the Engineer the following: <br /> <br />'a) That all lighting power and control circuits are continuous <br />and free from short circuits. <br /> <br />b) That all'circuits are free from unspecified grounds. <br /> <br />c) That the insulation resistance to ground of all nongrounded <br />series circuits is not less than 50 megohms. <br /> <br />" <br />d) That the insulation resistance to ground of all nongrounded <br />conductors of multiple circuits is not less than 50 megohms. <br /> <br />e) That all circuits are properly connected in accordance with <br />applicable wiring diagrams. <br /> <br />f) That all circuits are operable. Tests shall be conducted that <br />include operating each control not less than ten times and the <br />
