IEC 60840:1988
(Main)Tests for power cables with extruded insulation for rated voltages above 30 kV (Um = 36 kV) up to 150 kV (Um = 170 kV)
Tests for power cables with extruded insulation for rated voltages above 30 kV (Um = 36 kV) up to 150 kV (Um = 170 kV)
Specifies test requirements for power cables for fixed installations with extruded insulation of the types listed in Sub-clause 1.4 for rated voltages, U, above 30 kV (Um = 36 kV) up to and including 150 kV (Um = 170 kV). The requirements apply to cables for usual conditions of installation and operation, but not to special cables, such as submarine cables, for which modifications to the standard tests may be necessary or special test conditions may need to be devised. Tests for accessories are not included in this standard.
Essais des câbles de transport d'énergie à isolation extrudée pour des tensions assignées supérieures à 30 kV (Um = 36 kV) et jusqu'à 150 kV (Um = 170 kV)
Spécifie les prescriptions d'essais de câbles de transport d'énergie pour installations fixes avec enveloppes extrudées, des types énumérés au paragraphe 1.4 pour des tensions assignées, U, supérieures à 30 kV (Um = 36 kV) et jusqu'à 150 kV compris (Um = 170 kV). Les prescriptions sont applicables aux câbles destinés à des conditions habituelles d'installation et de fonctionnement, mais ne le sont pas à des câbles spéciaux, comme les câbles sous-marins, pour lesquels il peut être nécessaire d'apporter des modifications aux essais normaux ou d'élaborer des conditions d'essai particulières. Les essais d'accessoires ne sont pas compris dans la présente norme.
