ANSI ASTM D2655-2012 Standard Specification for Crosslinked Polyethylene Insulation for Wire and Cable Rated 0 to 2000 V《额定电压达到2000伏的电线和电缆交联聚乙烯绝缘材料规范》.pdf

1、Designation: D2655 12Standard Specification forCrosslinked Polyethylene Insulation for Wire and CableRated 0 to 2000 V1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2655; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the y

2、ear of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers a crosslinked polyethyleneinsulation for electrical wires and cables in conductor siz

3、es 14AWG 2.08 mm2 and larger. The base polymer of thisinsulation consists substantially of polyethylene or a polyeth-ylene copolymer.1.2 This type of insulation is suitable for continuous use onpower cables in wet and dry locations, for voltage ratings notexceeding 2000 V and at conductor temperatur

4、es not exceeding90C for normal operation. For copper conductors, the insula-tion can be applied over the uncoated metal.1.3 Materials covered by this specification are not sunlightand weather resistant unless they are carbon black pigmentedor contain an additive system designed for this protection.1

5、.4 In many instances the insulation cannot be tested unlessit has been formed around a conductor. Therefore, tests aredone on insulated wire in this standard solely to determine therelevant property of the insulation and not to test the conductoror completed cable.1.5 Whenever two sets of values are

6、 presented, in differentunits, the values in the first set are the standard, while those inparentheses are for information only.2.

9、ctrical Requirements5.1 Order of TestingPerform the ac voltage, insulationresistance, and dc voltage tests in that order when any of thesetests are required. The sequence for other testing is notspecified.5.2 AC Voltage TestSubject wires and cables to an ac testvoltage for a period of 5 min. Unless

10、otherwise specified, omitthis test if the dc voltage test described in 5.4 is to beperformed. Test at a voltage of 100 V/mil 4 kV/mm based onthe specified nominal thickness of insulation for the ratedcircuit voltage, phase to phase. Conduct the tests in accordancewith Test Methods D470.5.3 Insulatio

11、n ResistanceThe insulated conductor shallhave an insulation resistance equal to or greater than thatcorresponding to a constant of 10 000 at 60F 15.6C. Whenthe temperature of the water in which the insulation is testeddiffers from 60F, apply a correction factor. Table 2 of TestMethods D470 contains

12、the correction factors. Each insulationmanufacturer can furnish the 1F coefficient for the insulationmaterial by using the procedure given in Test Methods D470.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D09 onElectrical and Electronic Insulating Materials and is the direct respo

United States1Multiply the measured value by the correction factor to obtainthe insulation-resistance value corrected to 60F.5.3.1 Where a nonconducting

16、separator is applied betweenthe conductor and insulation or where an insulated conductor iscovered with a nonmetallic jacket so that the insulationresistance can be measured only on the completed assembly,the required insulation resistance shall be at least 60 % of thatrequired for the primary insul

17、ation based on the nominalthickness of that insulation.5.4 DC Voltage TestUpon completion of the insulationresistance test, each unshielded insulated conductor shallwithstand for 5 min a dc test voltage which is three times theac test voltage specified in 5.2. Unless otherwise specified,omit this te

18、st if the ac voltage test described in 5.2 has beenperformed.5.5 Accelerated Water Absorption RequirementsThe insu-lation shall meet the requirements of Table 2 when tested inaccordance with theAccelerated WaterAbsorption Tests in TestMethods D470. Conduct the Electrical Method Test at 60 Hzwith the

19、 water temperature at 75 6 1C.6. Heat Distortion6.1 The requirements for heat distortion are given in Table1 of this specification. The test is conducted in accordance withTest Methods D470.7. Percent Hot Creep and Percent Hot Set7.1 Determine the percent hot creep for 15 min at 150C302F as follows:

20、 Meet the filled or unfilled values specifiedin Table 1. Conduct this test in accordance with Practice ICEAT-28-562.7.2 Determine the percent hot set for 5 min at 150C302F as follows: Meet the filled or unfilled values specifiedin Table 1. Conduct this test in accordance with Practice ICEAT-28-562.7

21、.3 In case of dispute, the solvent extraction test in TestMethod D2765 is to be the referee method. The extractables,after a drying time of 20 h, shall be no more than 30 %.8.
