2、ion or, in the case of revision, 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. Scope1.1 This specification covers a track-resistant black cross-linked polyethyle

3、ne insulation, the base polymer which con-sists substantially of polyethylene or its copolymers. Thisinsulation shall be carbon black pigmented.1.2 This type of insulation is considered suitable for use onwire or cable that will be used for continuous operation atconductor temperatures up to 90 C.1.

4、3 This insulation is suitable for use on wire or in cableused for power transmission in overhead spaced-line service,installed at temperatures above 25 and exposed to sunlightand other atmospheric environments between 55 and +90 C.1.4 In many instances, the insulation cannot be tested unlessit has b
