DANSK DSF/IEC 60331-2 ED2 PDF

THIS PART OF IEC 60331 SPECIFIES THE TEST METHOD FOR CABLES WHICH ARE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN CIRCUIT INTEGRITY WHEN SUBJECT TO FIRE AND MECHANICAL SHOCK UNDER SPECIFIED CONDITIONS. THIS STANDARD IS APPLICABLE TO CABLES OF RATED VOLTAGE NOT EXCEEDING 600/1000 V, INCLUDING THOSE OF RATED VOLTAGE BELOW 80 V, METAL DATA AND TELECOM CABLES AND OPTICAL FIBRE CABLES. IT IS INTENDED FOR USE WHEN TESTING CABLES NOT GREATER THAN 20 MM OVERALL DIAMETER. THIS STANDARD INCLUDES DETAILS FOR THE SPECIFIC POINT OF FAILURE, CONTINUITY CHECKING ARRANGEMENT, TEST SAMPLE, TEST PROCEDURE AND TEST REPORT RELEVANT TO ELECTRIC POWER AND CONTROL CABLES WITH RATED VOLTAGE UP TO AND INCLUDING 600/1000 V. DETAILS FOR THE SPECIFIC POINT OF FAILURE, CONTINUITY CHECKING ARRANGEMENT, TEST SAMPLE, TEST PROCEDURE AND TEST REPORT RELEVANT TO METAL DATA AND TELECOM CABLES AND OPTICAL FIBRE CABLES ARE NOT GIVEN BY IEC 60331-2. NOTE 1 – CABLES OF LARGER DIAMETER SHOULD BE TESTED USING THE APPARATUS, PROCEDURE AND REQUIREMENTS OF IEC 60331-1. NOTE 2 – ALTHOUGH THE SCOPE IS RESTRICTED TO CABLES WITH RATED VOLTAGE UP TO AND INCLUDING 0,6/1,0 KV, THE PROCEDURE MAY BE USED, WITH THE AGREEMENT OF THE MANUFACTURER AND THE PURCHASER, FOR CABLES WITH RATED VOLTAGE UP TO AND INCLUDING 1,8/3 (3,3) KV, PROVIDED THAT SUITABLE FUSES ARE USED. ANNEX A PROVIDES THE METHOD OF VERIFICATION OF THE BURNER AND CONTROL SYSTEM USED FOR THE TEST. REQUIREMENTS ARE STATED FOR AN IDENTIFICATION THAT MAY OPTIONALLY BE MARKED ON THE CABLE TO SIGNIFY COMPLIANCE WITH THIS STANDARD.
