IEEE 2780:2019

Scope
This standard defines and describes the technical requirements, tests, inspection rules, sign, and package of insulation-piercing connectors (IPCs) used in aerial insulated cable lines, bridges and culverts, galleries, tunnels, mines, cable wells, etc., for rated voltages up to 12 kV.
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to support the deployment of aerial insulated cables using IPCs. This standard enables reduced cost and expanded market applicability of deployment of aerial insulated cables.
