1、Designation: D4246 02 (Reapproved 2010)D4246 14Standard Specification forOzone-Resistant Thermoplastic Elastomer Insulation ForWire and Cable, 90 C 90C Operation1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4246; 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 Scope*1.1 This specification covers an ozone-resistant insulating compo

3、und for electrical wire and cables 14 AWG and larger. Thiscompound consists substantially of a thermoplastic elastomer.1.2 This type of insulation is considered suitable for continuous operation at conductor temperatures not exceeding 90 C 90Cin dry locations. Operating voltages are not to exceed 20

4、00 V. The minimum installation temperature is 40 C.is -40C.1.3 Whenever two sets of values are presented, in different units, the values in the first set are the standard, while those inparentheses are for information only.1.4 In many instances the insulation material cannot be tested unless it has

5、been formed around a conductor or cable. Therefore,tests are done on insulated wire or cable in this specification solely to determine the relevant property of the insulation materialand not to test the conductor or completed cable.2.

15、st Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959. United States15.3 Insulation ResistanceThe insulated conductor shall have an insulation resistance value of at least that corresponding toa constant of 10 000 at 60 F (15.6 C).60F (15.6C).5.3.1 If the water temperature at the time measurement was made differs from 60

16、F (15.6 C), 60F (15.6C), correct theinsulation resistance to 60 F. 60F. Table 2,2 (Temperature Correction Factors for Insulation Resistance at 60 F) 60F) of TestMethods D470 contains the correction factors. Each insulation manufacturer can furnish the 1F coefficient for the insulationmaterial by usi

17、ng the procedure given in Test Methods D470. Multiply the measured value by the correction factor to obtain theinsulation resistance value corrected to 60F.5.3.2 If the insulated conductor is covered with a non-metallic sheath so that the insulation resistance can be measured only onthe completed as

18、sembly, the required insulation resistance shall be at least 60 % of that required for the primary insulation basedon the thickness of that insulation.5.4 DC Voltage TestUnless otherwise specified, omit this test if the ac voltage test described in 5.2 has been performed. Aftercompletion of the insu

19、lation resistance test, test each insulated conductor for 5 min at the dc test voltage given in Table number1(b) (Conductor Sizes, and DC Test Voltages for Rubber Insulations) of Test Methods D470, under the columns labelledlabeled“Ozone-Resisting Insulations.”6. Cold Bend6.1 The insulation shall no

20、t show any cracks when tested at a temperature of 55 C of -55C, in accordance with the procedureand Table 7 (Mandrel Diameters for Cold Bend Test) in Test Methods D470.7.
