Note: Stranding other than those shown for SAE and metric wire sizes are not prohibited when they meet the minimum conductor area specications in Table 3.1. 3.2 The conductor insulation material shall be thermoplastic or a thermoset with a
35、minimum average insulation thickness of not less than 1.5 mm (0.06 in) for 102A W G( 63 5m m 2 ) wire and 2.0 mm (0.08 in) for 1 4/0 AWG (50 120 mm 2 ) wire.

Insulation thickness shal
40、l not be decreased more than 50 percent.

41、zes of thermoplastic-insulated, thermoset-insulated, or other wire, the insulation thickness T 1 is to be determined from measurements made at a marked position on a 25 mm (1 in) length of the nished, insulated conductor. The diameter D 1 over the insulation is to be measured to the nearest 0.01 mm
42、(0.001 in) by means of a dead-weight dial micrometer whose presser foot puts a load of 0.84 0 . 0 2No r8 5 2 gf on the specimen. The presser foot is to have a at, round face whose diameter is 6.4 0.2 mm (0.250 0.010 in). The anvil of the instrument is to be round, at least 38 mm (1.5 in) in diameter
43、, and is to be parallel to the face of the presser foot. The diameter d over the conductor, or over the separator, is to be measured by means of the same dial micrometer. The thickness T 1 is then calculated to the nearest 0.01 mm (0.001 in) from the formula: 4.2.3 The insulated conductors of a para
44、llel cord are to be separated. The insulation thickness T 1 of an insulated conductor from a parallel or jacketed cord or from a xture wire is to be determined as indicated in 4.2.2 from measurements made at a marked position on a 25 mm (1 in) length of insulated conductor from the nished exible cor
45、d or xture wire. 4.2.4 The apparatus for this test is illustrated in Figure 4.1. The apparatus is to be of brass and is to consist of three rods that are free to move vertically in a support frame. The assembly is to be constructed for use in a heated oven. Each rod is to be straight and 19.0 0.2 mm
46、 (0.75 0.010 in) in diameter. The weight of each rod is to be 250 g (8.8 oz). The lower end of each rod is to be reduced in diameter to 9.5 0.2 mm (0.375 0.010 in) or for the nal 19 mm (3/4 in) or length of the rod. The lower end of the reduced-diameter section is to be at, round, without sharp edge
47、s, and both concentric with and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rod. The lower end of the reduced section is to serve as the foot that presses on a specimen during a test. The force on the specimen is to be the sum of the force exerted by the rod (2.45 N or 250 gf) plus that of any wei
48、ght to be placed on the upper end of the rod to make the total force equal the load specied in Table 4.1. Each weight is to be indent stamped with its exact weight.
