DANSK DSF/IEC 63026 ED1 PDF

This International Standard specifies test methods and requirements for power cable systems, cables with extruded insulation and their accessories for fixed submarine installations, for rated voltages from 6 kV (Um = 7,2 kV) up to 60 kV (Um = 72,5 kV). The standard includes the electrical tests and the physical tests on materials as well as the specific mechanical tests that are applicable to submarine cable systems. The requirements apply to armoured single-core cables and three-core cables in combination with their accessories, terminations and joints for usual conditions of installation and operation, but not to special cables and their accessories, such as submarine cables for dynamic applications (i.e. for direct connection to a floating structure), for which modifications to the standard tests may be necessary or special test conditions may need to be devised. This standard is applicable to submarine cables installed in permanently submerged conditions with water depths up to 250 metres. Note: This standard does not include accessories having a mechanical function only, such as hang-offs or armour clamps.
