1、Designation: D 6096 07An American National StandardStandard Specification forPoly(Vinyl Chloride) Insulation for Wire and Cable, 90 COperation1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6096; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in th
2、e case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers a thermoplastic insulation ofpoly (vinyl chloride) or the
3、copolymer of vinyl chloride andvinyl acetate. This insulation is recommended for use atconductor temperatures not in excess of 90 C.1.2 Depending on the thickness of the insulation, the maxi-mum voltage used, and whether the location is wet or dry, thisinsulation is acceptable for use in 300 V (dry)
4、 and 600 V (wetor dry) power and control circuits.1.3 This insulation has potential low-temperature installa-tion limitations. Consult the manufacturer for specific recom-mendations for installation.1.4 Whenever two sets of values are presented, in differentunits, the values in the first set are the
5、 standard, while those inparentheses are for information only.1.5 In many instances the insulation material cannot betested unless it has been formed around a conductor or cable.Therefore, tests are done on insulated wire or cable in thisspecification solely to determine the relevant property of the
6、insulation material and not to test the conductor or completedcable.2.

16、5.3.1 Insulated conductors in SizesAWG 14 (2.08 mm2) andlarger shall have an insulation resistance of at least thatcorresponding to a constant of 2000 MV-1000 ft at 60 F (15.6C).5.3.2 If the temperature at the time the measurement wasmade differs from 60 F (15.6 C), correct the insulationresistance
17、to 60F by multiplying the measured value by theproper correction factor from Table number 1 of Test MethodsD 2633.5.4 DC Voltage Test Upon completion of the insulationresistance test, test each non-shielded insulated conductor for 5min at a dc withstand voltage that is three times the ac testvoltage

Unless otherwise specified, omitthis test if the ac withstand voltage test described in 5.2 isperformed.5.5 Accelerated Water AbsorptionThe insulation shallmeet the requirements of Table 4 when tested in accordancewith the procedure in Test Methods D 2633. Conduct the test at6

24、ickness, and Test Voltages for Poly(Vinyl Chloride)-Insulated Control and Power CablesNOTE 1For cables or conditions of service where mechanical stresses govern, such as in submarine cables or long vertical risers, these minimumconductor sizes are potentially not strong enough.NOTE 2The thicknesses
25、given in Table 3 apply to aerial cables and to single conductors installed in conduits above ground and to the individualconductors of all multiple-conductor cables having a common jacket, metallic sheath, or protective covering over the assembly, with the followingexceptions: For single-conductor c
26、ables for installation in underground ducts or direct earth burial and for all submarine cables, add 15 mil (0.38 mm)to the insulation thicknesses given in Table 3, when such cables do not have a thermoplastic jacket or metallic sheath over the assembly.NOTE 3Where the thickness of the insulation is
27、 increased for mechanical reasons or for special service conditions, determine the test voltage by thesize of the conductor and the rated voltage.Control and Power CableRated Circuit Voltage Phase-to-Phase, VConductor Size, AWG or kcmil (mm2) Insulation Thicknesss,mil (mm)AC Test Voltage, kV0 to 300
