Import Tips
• Provide RUS (Rural Utilities Service) acceptability listing for government-funded projects
• Ensure temperature rise ratings (e.g
• 65°C) are documented to prevent reclassification as industrial
• Declare exact BIL (Basic Impulse Level) ratings for high-voltage compliance verification
