2、the year 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. Scope*1.1 This specification covers a crosslinked polyethyleneinsulation for electrical wires and cables for conduc

3、tor sizes 8AWG (8.37 mm2) and larger. The base polymer of thisinsulation consists substantially of polyethylene.1.2 This type of insulation is suitable for use on powercables in wet and dry locations at conductor temperatures notexceeding 90 C for continuous operation, 130 C for emer-gency overload

4、conditions, and 250 C for short-circuit con-ditions. It is considered suitable for all sizes and voltageclassifications of single- and multiple-conductor power cablesat voltage ratings of 2001 to 35 000 V phase-to-phase at the100 % insulation level and at voltage ratings of 2001 to 25 000V at the 13

5、3 % insulation level as listed in Table 1C of TestMethods D470.1.3 Materials covered by this specification are not sunlight-and weather-resistant unless they are carbon black pigmentedor contain an additive system designed for this protection.1.4 In many instances the insulation cannot be tested unl

6、essit 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 presented, in differentunits, the values in the first s
