1、Designation: D2656 06D2656 13 An American National StandardStandard Specification forCrosslinked Polyethylene Insulation for Wire andCable Rated 2001 to 35 000 V1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2656; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal
2、adoption 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. Scope*1.1 This specification covers a crosslinked polyethylene insulation for
3、 electrical wires and cables for conductor sizes 8 AWG(8.37 mm2) and larger. The base polymer of this insulation consists substantially of polyethylene.1.2 This type of insulation is suitable for use on power cables in wet and dry locations at conductor temperatures not exceeding90 C for continuous
4、operation, 130 C for emergency overload conditions, and 250 C for short-circuit conditions. It is consideredsuitable for all sizes and voltage classifications of single- and multiple-conductor power cables at voltage ratings of 2001 to 35 000V phase-to-phase at the 100 % insulation level and at volt
5、age ratings of 2001 to 25 000 V at the 133 % insulation level as listedin Table 1C of Test Methods D470.1.3 Materials covered by this specification are not sunlight- and weather-resistant unless they are carbon black pigmented orcontain an additive system designed for this protection.1.4 In many ins
6、tances the insulation cannot be tested unless it has been formed around a conductor. Therefore, tests are doneon insulated wire in this standard solely to determine the relevant property of the insulation and not to test the conductor orcompleted cable.1.5 Whenever two sets of values are presented,
7、in different units, the values in the first set are the standard, while those inparentheses are for information only.2.

Conduct the test in accordance with Test MethodsD470.5.4 Insulation ResistanceThe insulated conductor
18、 shall have an insulation resistance equal to or greater than thatcorresponding to a constant of 20 000 at 60 F (15.6 C).When the temperature of the water in which the insulation is tested differsfrom 60 F, apply a correction factor. Table 2 of Test Methods D470 contains the correction factors. Each
19、 insulation manufacturercan furnish the 1 F coefficient for the insulation material by using the procedure given in Test Methods D470. Multiply themeasured value by the correction factor to obtain the insulation-resistance value corrected to 60 F.5.4.1 Where a nonconducting separator is applied betw
