CONSTRUCTION:
A copper single wire round, compacted circular
stranded or shaped stranded conductor or
aluminium compacted circular stranded or
shaped stranded conductor has an extruded
cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) coloured
insulation applied around the conductor. The
cores are twisted together and covered with
an extruded inner covering. A green PVC outer
sheath with printed marking is extruded
over all.
STANDARDS:
1. Conforms to IEC 60502-1 Standard:
Power cables with extruded insulation
and their accessories for rated voltages
from 1 kV (Um = 1,2 kV) up to 30 kV
(Um = 36 kV) Part 1: Cables for rated
voltages of 1 kV (Um = 1,2 kV) and 3 kV
(Um = 3,6 kV).

SCOPE
This specification describes XLPE insulated
PVC sheathed multicore cables for fixed
installations underground and in the air in
commercial, industrial and utilities plants.
They are intended for use on single phase
and three phase installations not exceeding
1000 Volt phase to phase at maximum
conductor temperatures of 90 C for
continuous normal operation and 250 C for
short circuit maximum conductor
temperature.
- Other insulation colours than the described above may be supplied upon request.
STANDARDS
The following standards shall form a part of
this specification to the extent specified herein:
- IEC 60502-1 Standard: Power cables
with extruded insulation and their
accessories for rated voltages from 1 kV
(Um = 1,2 kV) up to 30 kV (Um = 36 kV)
Part 1: Cables for rated voltages of 1
kV (Um = 1,2 kV) and 3 kV (Um = 3,6 kV).
CABLING
The cores, each with its corresponding
identification colour, shall be twisted together.
CONDUCTORS
- Annealed, high conductivity copper single
wire round, compacted circular stranded
or shaped stranded conductor according
to IEC 60228, Class 1 or Class 2.
- Aluminium compacted circular stranded
or shaped stranded conductor according
to IEC 60228, Class 2.
OVERSHEATH
- An extruded green PVC sheath shall be
applied on the inner covering. Other sheath
colours available upon request.
- Properties of the sheath shall be in
accordance with IEC 60502-1 Standard
INSULATION
- Directly over the conductor shall be
applied a homogeneous wall of XLPE
insulation. The thickness shall be in
accordance with
IEC 60502-1 Standard
- Properties of the insulation shall be in
accordance with IEC 60502-1 Standard
INNER COVERING
- An extruded covering shall be applied on
the cores assembly.
- Properties of the covering shall be in
accordance with IEC 60502-1 Standard

TESTS
The cable shall be tested in accordance with
IEC 60502-1 Standard
Short circuit rating is based on an initial conductor temperature of 90 C and a final temperature of 250 C.
Current rating based upon operation at 90 C conductor, three-phase a.c. load. According to VDE 0298.
Single cable laid in freely circulating air at 30 C, protected against direct thermal radiation due to sun, etc.
Single cable directly buried at 0.7 m deep in soil at 20 C, with 1 K . m/W thermal resistivity. Load factor 0.7.
Voltage drop according to BS 7671:1992.3 assuming that the conductor temperature is 90 C, the load is balanced and the phase angle of the cable
equals that of the load. Single-phase or three-phase.
