Description / Abstract:
This standard applies to materials, constructions, and testing
of 2001-5000 V nonshielded power cables having insulations of
crosslinked polyethylene (includes both crosslinked and
tree-retardant crosslinked polyethylene) or crosslinked rubber of
the types shown in section 4. The insulation shall be covered with
a discharge-resistant jacket or shall be a discharge-resistant
material without a jacket. Discharge-resistant insulations and
jackets shall comply with the applicable surface resistivity,
U-Bend discharge, and trackresistance requirements of sections 4
and 5.
The nonshielded cables described in this standard are intended
for use for the distribution of electrical energy in normal
conditions of service in indoor, outdoor, aerial, underground, or
subsea installations within the application limits shown in Table
4-3 and section 5.2.1. They are not intended for portable use
applications.
