1. 6.1 Engineering Design and Selection Guidelines
   1. Voltage Application Range: This cable is only suitable for 0.6/1kV low-voltage three-phase four-wire systems and is prohibited for medium and high-voltage power systems.
   2. Load Matching: For circuits with high rated current, high load power, and significant three-phase imbalance, this cable specification should be given priority; the current carrying capacity and voltage drop should be strictly calculated based on the transmission distance and the number of cables laid.
   3. Laying Layout: When multiple large-section cables are laid side-by-side in cable trays or densely buried, the current carrying capacity should be appropriately reduced, and sufficient heat dissipation space should be reserved to avoid heat accumulation.
   4. Environmental Differentiation: For coastal salt spray areas, highly corrosive workshops, and key fire-fighting areas, corrosion-resistant or flame-retardant reinforced cables should be selected instead of standard types.
2. On-site Laying and Construction Specifications
   1. Construction Temperature: Do not lay cables when the ambient temperature is below 0℃ to avoid brittle cracking of the sheath and insulation.
   2. Bending Control: This large-section cable has high rigidity. Strictly adhere to the specified minimum bending radius during installation, avoiding sharp bends and severe compression to prevent core deformation and insulation damage.
   3. Traction Construction: Use professional traction tools during laying to maintain uniform stress and control the traction force within allowable limits to prevent conductor breakage and armor displacement.
   4. Direct Burial Requirements: Lay a thick layer of fine sand at the top and bottom of the cable, and cover it with a concrete protective slab to isolate it from sharp objects.
   5. Terminal Production: Use dedicated large-size copper terminals. If necessary, employ a double process of crimping and welding, and ensure proper sealing to eliminate the risk of localized overheating at the joint.
3. Procurement, Acceptance, and Warehousing Management
   1. Document Review: During the procurement process, check complete product qualification certificates, factory test reports, type test reports, and parameter tables to confirm compliance with national standards.
   2. Visual Inspection: Inspect the cable appearance for cracks, scratches, uneven outer diameter, and incomplete printing markings; verify the accuracy of the model, voltage, and core wire specifications.
   3. Sampling Inspection: For large orders, conduct random sampling according to project acceptance standards to test insulation resistance, power frequency withstand voltage, and sheath integrity.
   4. Storage Rules: Place cables on large dedicated cable reels and store them in a dry, ventilated, and cool warehouse. Keep away from open flames, chemicals, and groundwater; long-term open-air storage is prohibited.
   5. Inventory Management: Arrange shipments in batches according to the construction schedule to avoid long-term static storage of large-section cables and prevent sheath aging and deformation.
