About This Item
1216-2000 is a technical standard for phase underground residential distribution (URD) in power and energy applications. It addresses the engineering and performance considerations associated with underground residential distribution systems, helping support consistent design and use in utility-oriented installations. In practice, this kind of document matters because URD equipment and methods must work reliably in confined underground environments where installation quality, insulation integrity, and system compatibility are important.
Overview of 1216-2000
This standard focuses on phase underground residential distribution, a topic closely tied to electric power delivery in residential utility networks. 1216-2000 is relevant where underground distribution practices need a defined technical reference for system planning, component selection, and acceptable performance expectations. As an inactive document, it is still useful for identifying the requirements and conventions associated with this specific URD application, especially when reviewing legacy designs or archived engineering files.
Typical use cases
Typical use of this document would be in underground residential power distribution work, including feeder planning, cable and accessory specification, and utility engineering review. It may also be consulted during equipment procurement, maintenance planning, or analysis of existing phase URD installations. Because the topic is tied to power, energy, and industry applications, it is most relevant to utility distribution teams, electrical engineers, and contractors working with underground residential service infrastructure.
Why it matters
Standards like 1216-2000 help create consistency in how underground residential distribution is designed, installed, and evaluated. That consistency can reduce misapplication of equipment, support safer field practices, and improve compatibility across parts of a system. For organizations handling legacy URD assets or technical records, the standard can also help with compliance checks, documentation review, and risk reduction when comparing materials, ratings, and installation methods.
