1、Designation: D6096 11An American National StandardStandard Specification forPoly(Vinyl Chloride) Insulation for Wire and Cable, 90COperation1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6096; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the c
2、ase 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 thermoplastic insulation ofpoly (vinyl chloride) or the copo
3、lymer of vinyl chloride andvinyl acetate. This insulation is recommended for use atconductor temperatures not in excess of 90C.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) and
4、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 In many instances, the insulation material cannot betested unless it has been formed around a conducto
5、r or cable.Therefore, tests are done on insulated wire or cable in thisspecification solely to determine the relevant property of theinsulation material and not to test the conductor or completedcable.1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parent
6、heses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.5.1 In some cases (including the title), temperatures aredescribed in degrees Celsius only.2.

Electrical Requirements5.1 Perform the ac voltage, insulation resistance, and dcvoltage tests in that order when any of these tests are required.The sequence for other testing is not specified.5.2 AC Voltage Test Test the insulated conductor at the acwithstand volt
16、age as specified in Table 3. Unless otherwisespecified, omit this test if the dc withstand voltage testdescribed in 5.4 is performed.5.2.1 For cables or conditions of service where mechanicalstresses govern, such as in submarine cables or long verticalrisers, it is possible that the minimum conducto
17、r sizes in Table3 are not strong enough.5.2.2 The thicknesses given in Table 3 apply to aerial cablesand to single conductors installed in conduits above ground andto the individual conductors of all multiple-conductor cableshaving a common jacket, metallic sheath, or protective cover-ing over the a
18、ssembly, excerpt as shown in 5.2.2.1.5.2.2.1 For single-conductor cables for installation in under-ground ducts or direct earth burial and for all submarine cables,add 15 mil (0.38 mm) to the insulation thicknesses given inTable 3, when such cables do not have a thermoplastic jacketor metallic sheat
19、h over the assembly.5.2.3 Where the thickness of the insulation is increased formechanical reasons or for special service conditions, determinethe test voltage in Table 3 by the size of the conductor and therated voltage.5.3 Insulation Resistance:5.3.1 Insulated conductors in SizesAWG 14 (2.08 mm2)
