Preface

This is the third edition of CSA Z150, Safety code on mobile cranes. It supersedes the previous editions published in 1998 and 1974.

Scope

1.1

This Standard describes the design, construction, load rating, installation, erection, inspection, maintenance, repair, modification, test, and operation of lattice and telescopic boom mobile cranes.
Note: See Annex A for illustrations of mobile cranes and Annex B for illustrations of parts of a mobile crane.

1.2

This Standard applies only to machines that have all of the following fundamental characteristics:

(a) the crane comprises, or is mounted on, a non- or self-propelled, crawler- or wheel-mounted mobile base;

(b) the crane is designed and manufactured for the primary purpose of hoisting and lowering loads by means of tackle suspended from a boom;

(c) the boom is lattice or telescopic and capable of being elevated and lowered in the vertical plane and of being rotated (swung) from side to side in the horizontal plane;

(d) the tackle is suspended from the boom and is capable of being increased and diminished in length; and

(e) the crane utilizes an engine(s) or motor(s) of sufficient power to
(i) elevate and lower the boom in the vertical plane with the load suspended from the tackle;

(ii) rotate (swing) the boom in the horizontal plane with the load suspended from the tackle;

(iii) increase and diminish the length of the tackle with the load suspended from the tackle; and

(iv) in the case of a self-propelled crane, propel the vehicle, carrier, or base on which or to which the boom and hoist mechanism is attached.

1.3

This Standard applies to crawler-mounted cranes, commercial truck-mounted cranes, and boom trucks and wheel-carrier-mounted cranes, as well as any variations thereof that retain the fundamental characteristics of these cranes.

1.4

This Standard is applicable only to machines when they are used for lifting (hoisting).

Note: Some basic machine types within this scope are used alternatively for hoisting service and for applications not considered to be hoisting service. All of the requirements of this Standard are applicable to such machines when used for hoisting service. Clause 4.14 contains requirements for machines when used in other than hoisting service.

1.5

Machines within the scope of Clause 1.3, and equipped with hooks, magnets, grapples, clam shell buckets, orange peel buckets, and other devices intended to connect or attach the tackle to the load for the purpose of hoisting or lowering a freely suspended load, are considered to be in lifting (hoisting) service.

1.6

This Standard does not apply to

(a) machines within the scope that have been converted or adapted for uses not considered to be lifting (hoisting) services. These conversions and applications include power shovels, excavators, draglines, concrete pumps (see CAN/CSA-Z151), conveyors, augers, drills, and amusement rides (e.g., bungee jumping);

(b) articulating boom (knuckle boom) cranes;

(c) hydraulic and cable-operated excavating equipment, (e.g., power shovels and backhoes);

(d) automotive wreckers and tow trucks designed to clear wrecks and haul vehicles;

(e) railway cranes, locomotive-mounted cranes, and rail-mounted cranes;

(f) side boom tractors, as used in pipeline work (see ASME B30.14);

(g) mobile lifting devices designed specifically for use in power line and electric utility service, such as digger derricks (radial boom derricks) intended to auger holes for and to set power and telephone poles (see ANSI/ASSE A10.31);

Preface

This twenty-second edition of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, was approved by the Committee on the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, and by the Regulatory Authority Committee at their June 2011 meetings in Victoria, British Columbia. This twenty-second edition supersedes the previous editions, published in 2009, 2006, 2002, 1998, 1994, 1990, 1986, 1982, 1978, 1975, 1972, 1969, 1966, 1962, 1958, 1953, 1947, 1939, 1935, 1930, and 1927.

A new Section 64 was added to CSA C22.1-12 to cover requirements for renewable energy systems and major updates have been made to Section 50 -Solar photovoltaic systems-. Several new conductor types and wiring methods have been recognized and there are significant changes in the Rules and Tables governing ampacity calculations. Grounding and bonding requirements have been revised and new requirements have been added for tamper resistant receptacles and receptacles exposed to the weather. In several sections, rules were added or revised to recognize electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Substantial changes have also been made to requirements for hazardous locations and electric heating.

General arrangement

CSA C22.1-12 is divided into numbered Sections, each covering some main division of the work. Sections 0 to 16 and 26 are considered general sections, and the other sections supplement or amend the general sections. The Sections are divided into numbered Rules, with captions for easy reference, as follows:

CSA C22.1-12 Numbering system – With the exception of Section 38, even numbers have been used throughout to identify Sections and Rules. Rule numbers consist of the Section number separated by a hyphen from the 3- or 4-digit figure. The intention in general is that odd numbers may be used for new Rules required by interim revisions. Due to the introduction of some new Rules and the deletion of some existing Rules during the revision of each edition, the Rule numbers for any particular requirement are not always the same in successive editions.
Subdivision of Rules – Rules are subdivided in the manner illustrated by Rules 8-204 and 8-206, and the subdivisions are identified as follows:
Reference to other Rules, etc. – Where reference is made to two or more Rules (e.g., Rules 10-200 to 10-206), the first and last Rules mentioned are included in the reference. Where reference is made to a Subrule or Item in the same Rule, only the Subrule number and/or Item letter and the word -Subrule- or -Item- need be mentioned. If the reference is to another Rule or Section, then the Rule number and the word -Rule- shall be stated (e.g., -Rule 10-200(3)- and not -Subrule (3) of Rule 10-200-).
The principal changes that have been made between the 2009 edition of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, and this new edition published in 2012 are marked in the text of the Code by the symbol delta (-) in the margin.
Where revisions to or deletions from the text have caused existing Rules to be renumbered, only the first renumbered Rule in the sequence is marked. Users of the Code are advised that the change markers in the text are not intended to be all-inclusive and are provided as a convenience only; such markers cannot constitute a comprehensive guide to the reorganization or revision of the Code. Care must therefore be taken not to rely on the change markers to determine the current requirements of the Code. As always, users of the Code must consider the entire Code and any local amendments.

Scope

CSA C22.1-12 covers all electrical work and electrical equipment operating or intended to operate at all voltages in electrical installations for buildings, structures, and premises, including factory-built relocatable and non-relocatable structures, and self-propelled marine vessels stationary for periods exceeding five months and connected to a shore supply of electricity continuously or from time to time, with the following exceptions:

installations or equipment employed by an electric, communication, or community antenna distribution system utility in the exercise of its function as a utility, as recognized by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction, and located outdoors or in buildings or sections of buildings used for that purpose;
equipment and facilities that are used in the operation of an electric railway and are supplied exclusively from circuits that supply the motive power;
installations or equipment used for railway signalling and railway communication purposes, and located outdoors or in buildings or sections of buildings used exclusively for such installations;
aircraft; and
electrical systems in ships that are regulated under Transport Canada.

For mines and quarry applications, see also CSA M421.

CSA C22.1-12 and any standards referenced in it do not make or imply any assurance or guarantee by the authority adopting this Code with respect to life expectancy, durability, or operating performance of equipment and materials so referenced.

Edition: 4th, 86 pages
Published by Canadian Standards Association (CAN) in April 2011

ISBN: 9781554915330

This Standard establishes minimum requirements for electrical work and electrical equipment operating, or intended to operate, in mines. Note: Users should be aware that federal, provincial, and territorial legislation can impose additional requirements.

1.2 Application

This Standard is intended to be used with the requirements of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part or local regulatory amendment thereto, unless such requirements are modified by this Standard. Note: Adherence to the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, normally addresses the minimum electrical safety requirements for mining-related fixed buildings, structures, and premises located on the surface, as these are no different from other industrial facilities. Such facilities could include processing plants, camps, offices, and drys. However, specific applications can exist within or on such buildings, structures, or premises that warrant the application of this Standard, e.g., the following equipment operating at voltages exceeding 150 V to ground: (a) mobile equipment fed by portable power cables; (b) movable equipment fed by portable power cables where the ground-fault voltage and ground potential rise relative to the surrounding earth or structures cannot be limited to 100 V; and (c) quick-connect couplers that are not mechanically interlocked with a load-break-rated disconnect switch.

1.3 Application to non-mining structures

This Standard does not apply to tunnels, aqueducts, conduits, or excavations for civil construction purposes. However, where mines incorporate such structures, this Standard applies.

1.4 Clause numbering system

This Standard is divided into seven clauses, numbered from 1 to 7. Clauses are further divided into subclauses (e.g., Clause 4.3). There can be up to five levels of subclauses (e.g., Clause 4.3.3.3.1). Multiple items, designated by lowercase letters in parentheses (e.g., (a), (b), (c)) can be enumerated in a list. If an item requires further listing, subsidiary items are identified by lowercase Roman numerals in parentheses (e.g., (i), (ii), (iii)). Items in a further list under these subsidiary items are identified by an Arabic numeral in parentheses (e.g., (1), (2), (3)). Note: For further information see CSA-SDP-3.2.

1.5 Inclusive lists and selective lists

The use of the conjunction “and” between two or more items in a sentence or list conveys an inclusive relationship, i.e., all of the items or conditions in the list are included in the criteria (i.e., all items present or conditions satisfied). The use of the conjunction “or” between two or more items in a sentence or list conveys a selective relationship, i.e., at least one of the items or conditions in the list is included in the criteria (i.e., a selective choice).

1.6 Terminology

In CSA Standards, “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. Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (nonmandatory) to define their application.
