本节中提到的电缆性能要求是发电站安装电缆时应考虑的特殊要求。某些要求，如辐射，只适用于核电站。任何一种电缆特性都不应被强调而严重损害其他特性。电缆特性以及良好的安装、设计和施工实践之间的平衡对于提供良好的电缆系统是必要的。

Cable performance requirements mentioned in this section are particular requirements which should be considered in specifying cable for installation in generating stations. Certain requirements, such as radiation, apply only to nuclear generating stations. No one cable characteristic should be emphasized to the serious detriment of others. A balance of cable characteristics, as well as good installation, design, and construction practices, is necessary to provide a sound cable system.
