SCOPE

This specification covers 0.6/1kV copper conductor, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated power
cables generally in accordance with IEC 60502-1 unless otherwise specified in this specification
2.

REFERENCE STANDARDS
.IEC 60228
: Conductor of insulated cables
.IEC 60502-1 : Power cables with extruded insulation and their accessories for rated voltages from
1kV(Um=1.2kV) up to 30kV(Um=36kV)
Part 1. Cables for rated voltages of 1kV(Um=1.2kV) and 3kV(Um=3.6kV)
.IEC 60811
: Common test methods for insulated and sheathing materials of electric cables
.IEC 60332-3: Test on electric cables under fire conditions.(Cat.C)

3.

CONSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS

3.1

Conductor
The conductor shall be plain annealed copper conductor complying with IEC 60228 Class 2.
The shape of conductor shall be as follows;
-up to and including 10mm: Circular stranded conductor
-above 10mm: Compacted circular stranded conductor

4.

3.2

Insulation
The insulation shall be cross-linked polyethylene(XLPE) compound complying with IEC 60502-1
The average thickness of insulation shall be not less than the nominal value given in the attached
table 1.
The thickness at any point, however, shall be less than the nominal value provided that the
difference does not exceed 0.1 +10% of the nominal value.

3.3

Laying-up and fillers (for multi-cores only)

The cores shall be laid up with, where necessary, suitable fillers in the interstice to obtain a circular
form. A suitable binder tape(s) shall be applied on the laid-up cores.

3.4

Over sheath
The over sheath shall be an extruded layer of black flame retardant PVC/ST2 compound complying
with IEC 60502-1.
The smallest of the measurement values shall not fall below the value given in the attached table 1.
by more than 15% + 0.1 .

CORE IDENTIFICATION
The cores of cable shall be identified by a narrow colored polyester tape on the insulation screen.
-single core
:Black(for phases)
-single core
:Blue(for neutral)
- two cores
: Blue, Brown
- three cores
: Brown, Black, Grey
- four cores
: Blue, Brown, Black, Grey
