Preface This is the fourth edition of CSA C22.2 No. 76, Splitters, and supersedes the previous editions published in 1992, 1981, and 1969. It is one of a series of Standards issued by the Canadian Standards Association under Part II of the Canadian Electrical Code. This edition adds requirements for splitters used for temporary connection, requirements for 90 °C conductors, and information to clarify wiring space and wire bending space. For general information on the Standards of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part II, see the preface of CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 0,General Requirements-Canadian Electrical Code, Part II. This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group. Scope 1.1 This Standard applies to splitters, having a current rating of 5000 A and less, intended for installation in nonhazardous locations in accordance with the Rules of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I on systems having nominal voltages of 600 V and less. 1.2 General requirements applicable to this Standard are given in CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 0. 1.3 In this Standard, \"shall\" is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; \"should\" is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and \"may\" is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard. Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.
