Overview
EN 50363-9-1:2005 specifies the physical test requirements for the harmonised cross‑linked polyvinyl chloride (XLPVC) insulating compound used in low‑voltage energy cables. It defines the required performance for the XLPVC insulating compound (Type XI 1) - intended for cable cores requiring high flexibility (maximum operating temperature 70 °C) - and references the test methods in the EN 60811 series. EN 50363-9-1 is intended to be read in conjunction with EN 50363-0.
Key topics and technical requirements
The standard focuses on material property verification via laboratory tests. Main technical requirements include:
Mechanical properties
- Tensile strength (median, min): 10.0 N/mm²
- Elongation at break (median, min): 150%
- Post‑ageing limits: tensile and elongation minima retained, with permitted variation ±25% (tensile) and ±20% (elongation)
Ageing and mass loss
- Heat ageing: 100 ±2 °C for 7 × 24 h
- Loss of mass after ageing: max 2.0 mg/cm²
Heat shock
- Test at 150 ±2 °C for 1 h - material must show no cracks
Pressure / indentation at high temperature
- Test at 90 ±2 °C under defined load; median indentation depth max 50%
Low temperature bending
- Bending test at –15 ±2 °C; material must show no cracks
Thermal stability
- Test at 200 ±0.5 °C with required thermal stability ≥ 60 minutes
Hot set
- Test at 200 ±3 °C, 15 min under 10 N/cm: max elongation under load 100%, max elongation after unloading 25%
All test methods are those specified in the EN 60811 series (referenced in EN 50363-0).
Applications and users
This standard is primarily used for:
- Cable manufacturers specifying or qualifying XLPVC insulating compounds for low‑voltage flexible cores (e.g., cords).
- Material suppliers certifying compound performance to buy/sell specifications.
- Test laboratories performing type and routine testing per EN 60811 methods.
- Design engineers, specifiers and procurement teams writing technical specifications and ensuring compliance in cable selection.
- Certification bodies and regulators assessing compliance with harmonised EU electrotechnical standards.
Practical uses include quality control, type approval, component selection for cable design, and ensuring long‑term thermal and mechanical performance in service.
