Electric cables - Tests on extruded oversheaths with a special protective function

Edition date: 2007-10-10
In Force
Available languages: Spanish, English, French
Summary: Provides a range of tests which may be required for electric cables which have an extruded oversheath and where that oversheath performs a special protective function. The standard covers cables for use in insulated systems and in uninsulated systems. The tests are categorized for use as routine tests, type tests and tests after installation. These tests comprise of electrical routine tests on cable oversheath used in insulated or uninsulated systems, abrasion and corrosion spread type tests, electrical test on cable oversheath after installation. Routine tests and tests after installation, as specified in the relevant cable standards, are applicable for all situations. Type tests depend upon the nature of the system and the construction of the cable and do not have to be carried out for normal conditions of use. The significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows: - The text has been modified in order to consider the function of the oversheath, irrespective of the way the metallic sheath or screen of the cable is earthed because, in some cases, the oversheath is designed to act not only as a protection against corrosion, but also to reduce the risk of degradation of the cable insulation system. This requirement may be independent of the nature of the insulation and independent of the rated voltage of the cable. - More precise wording has been introduced regarding the application of some tests (if the sheaths or foils are bonded to the oversheath or not). - The test requirements have been revised in order to be in line with the standards published after the second edition. - The pressure test at high temperature has been deleted as the requirement is specified in the relevant cable standards. - A "Guidance on tests after installation" (Annex B) has been included.

Fournit une gamme d'essais que l'on peut demander pour les câbles électriques qui comportent une gaine extrudée, quand cette gaine remplit une fonction spéciale de protection. Cette norme s'applique aux câbles destinés aux réseaux à écran isolé et aux réseaux à écran non isolé. Les essais sont classés en tant qu'essais individuels, essais de type et essais après pose. Ces essais comprennent: - des essais diélectriques individuels pour les gaines des câbles utilisés dans les réseaux à écran isolé ou non isolé, - des essais de type d'abrasion, et de diffusion de la corrosion, - un essai diélectrique de gaine après pose. Les essais individuels et les essais après pose, tels que spécifiés dans les normes particulières de câbles, sont applicables en toute circonstance. Les essais de type dépendent de la nature du réseau et de la structure du câble et n'ont pas à être effectués pour des conditions normales d'utilisation. Les modifications techniques majeures, par rapport à la précédente édition, sont les suivantes: - Le texte a été modifié pour prendre en compte la fonction de la gaine extérieure, indépendamment du type de mise à la terre de la gaine ou l'écran métallique du câble, parce que, dans certains cas, la gaine extérieure est conçue non seulement pour assurer une protection contre la corrosion, mais aussi pour réduire le risque de dégradation de l'isolation du câble. Cette exigence peut être indépendante de la nature de l'enveloppe isolante et indépendante de la tension assignée du câble. - La rédaction concernant la pertinence de certains essais a été précisée (selon que les gaines ou feuilles sont contrecollées ou non à la gaine extérieure). - Les exigences d'essai ont été revues pour être en accord avec les spécifications publiées postérieurement à la deuxième édition. - L'essai de pression à température élevée a été supprimé, car cette exigence est spécifiée dans les spécifications particulières des câbles. - Des " Recommandations pour les essais après pose " (Annexe B) ont été introduites.
