Box 1331 Piscataway, New Jersey 08855-1331, USAApril 9, 2004 Interpretation Number: #1 Clause No: 8.11 Interpretation requestWhat are the reasons and rationale for IEEEs requirement in subclause 8.11 as to why cable should not be painted? Subclause 8.11 states
5、that, “cables should not be painted except 5000V types, which may be painted yellow.“ http:/standards.ieee.org/reading/ieee/interp/45-1998.html (1 of 3) 2009/01/06 7:04:08 PMIEEE Std 45-1998_InterpretationInterpretation for IEEE Std IEEE Std 45-1998 The request for interpretation applies to IEEE Std
6、 45-1998 which has been superseded by IEEE Std 45-2002. Specific to the 1998 standard. Subclause 8.11 - Paint applies to cable construction only. Painting of power control and other cables rated 600 volt for use identification was not recommended. SKV cables could be identified as a 5KV circuit by u
7、sing a yellow color. This could be a yellow compound or yellow paint. As stated, this applies to cable construction only and does not apply to any cables upon or after installation. There is no prohibition of painting cables after installation. Painting after installation should have no affect on ca
8、ble operation. However, this covers up all cable identification as to number and conductor size, as well as voltage rating. This would make trouble shooting very difficult. There is also no flame propagation test data on painted cables. Interpretation Number: #2 Clause Nos: 11.39.1 and 13.1 Interpre
9、tation request #2IEEE Recommended Practice for Electrical Installations on Shipboard. (45-1998) subclause 11.39.1, third paragraph states: “ Fuses should not, and circuit breakers need not be provided for the neutral of a circuit.“ Part 13.1, Distribution panels, third paragraph states: “Circuit bre

The electrical distribution system includes 208 /120 vac four wire with the neutral grounded to the hull. How subclauses 11.39.1

12、n panels.Interpretation #2 for IEEE Std 45-1998Subclause 11.39.1 quoted is actually 11.39.1.15. This is covered in subclause 5.9.6.6 in the IEEE Std 45-2002 regarding system grounding. It states “fuses should not and circuit breakers need not be provided for the neutral circuit. Fuses should not be
13、used and circuit breakers are not required.“Subclause 13.1 - Distribution panels (fifth paragraph). This is covered in subclause 17.1 of the 2002 revision of IEEE Std 45. It reads, circuit breakers in grounded neutral distribution panels “may“ include a pole to simultaneously switch the neutral.This
14、 revision (IEEE Std 45-2002) states that a circuit breaker for switching the neutral may be installed, but it is not a requirement. The addition of a two- pole breaker for neutral switching is the choice of the designer or user and this is not a requirement.Copyright 2004 IEEE.
