section on underground conduit systems in respect to the
installation and maintenance of underground electric supply and
communication lines that should be considered.

3 Correct the mistake.
1. Another application of conduit in the substation is for the
protection of low-voltage circuits.
2. In general, there are metallic and plastic conduits.
3. At substation equipment, a transition from a non-metallic
conduit to a plastic conduit is usually made.
4. Frost depth doesn’t impact the burial depth of the conduit.
5. The typical design of a cable system will include conduit
burial depth, bending radius, calculations on conduit fill, and
determination of cable ampacity de-rating.

subtitle.

5 Put questions to each part of Text 1 and retell it in English.

6 Pick out from Text 1 all the verbs in the Passive Voice.

7 Make a written translation of the following:
While the substation design engineer will usually select the
conduit type, routing, and sizing of the conduit used for the
substation equipment in the yard, the conduit used within the
electrical equipment enclosure will be selected and installed by the
electrician or electrical equipment enclosure manufacturer.
The type of conduit generally used for this application is
electrical metallic tubing (EMT).
EMT will generally be routed on the walls inside the electrical
equipment enclosure. When installed with proper fittings, it can be
used as the equipment grounding conductor. However, running a
separate equipment grounding conductor with the phase
conductor(s) to lights or receptacles within the electrical
equipment enclosure is preferred.
