16、as last issued.BS 7870-8.5:2003 BSI 16 June 2003 1 1 Scope This section of BS 7870 specifies requirements for the construction, dimensions and mechanical and physical properties of multicore cables with thermosetting insulation and non-halogenated sheaths, having reduced fire propagation performance
17、, and low emission of smoke when affected by fire. It specifies requirements for: a) steel wire armoured multicore cables (2-core to 48-core) having copper conductors; b) unarmoured multicore cables (2-core to 48-core) having copper conductors. It specifies requirements for both Type 1 and Type 2 ca
18、bles, which are defined as follows: Type 1: cable designed for the installation and operating conditions prevailing in a conventional fossil-fuelled power station or equivalent location; Type 2: cable designed for the installation and operating conditions prevailing in a PWR power station, but exclu
19、ding location in or around the containment area. The requirements specified in this section of BS 7870 are applicable to both Type 1 and Type 2 cables unless otherwise indicated. This section of BS 7870 is applicable to cables for use in and around power stations and other installations having simil
20、ar cable densities. NOTE A “guide to use” is given in Annex A. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

30、 expressed in the form U 0 /U (U m ). The voltage designation of cables in this standard is 0.6/1 (1.2) kV. 4 Conductors Conductors shall be 1.5 mm 2 , 2.5 mm 2or 4 mm 2 , of circular stranded copper (class 2), conforming to the requirements of BS 6360. Conformity shall be checked by visual examinat
31、ion as specified in 15.2. NOTE A separator tape may be applied over the conductor. 5 Insulation The insulation for Type 1 cables shall be a single extruded layer of XLPE or HEPR. The insulation for Type 2 cables shall be either a single extruded layer of thermosetting TI Z material, or two bonded la
32、yers of extruded thermosetting material, as a composite layer, conforming to the requirements for TI Z specified in Table 11. The insulation shall be applied so that it fits closely on the conductor and it shall be possible to remove it without damage to the insulation itself or to the conductor. Th
33、e insulation shall be applied by a suitable extrusion process, cross-linked where required, and shall form a compact and homogenous body. Conformity shall be checked by the test methods specified in 15.3. 6 Identification of cores The cores shall be black or white with printed numbers in a contrasti
34、ng colour. The cores shall be numbered in sequence inside to outside from 1 to 48. Cores shall be clearly identifiable and the printing shall be durable. Conformity shall be checked by visual examination as specified in 15.4. 7 Assembly of cores, fillers and binders The direction of lay shall altern
35、ate for each successive layer. Up to seven cores shall be laid up with either a right- or left-hand direction of lay or an alternating right- and left-hand direction of lay. Conformity shall be checked by visual examination as specified in 15.5. NOTE 1 Where necessary, fillers of suitable synthetic
36、material may be used. NOTE 2 At the discretion of the manufacturer, a synthetic binder tape may be applied over the laid-up cores. 8 Bedding layer (optional for unarmoured cables) The bedding for Type 1 cables shall consist of a compound conforming to the requirements for ZB 1 as specified in Table

45、 shall be provided throughout the length of the cable, either internally or by use of an identification thread or externally by marking on the surface of the cable. If the identification is internal, the distance between the end of one mark and the beginning of the next mark shall be not greater tha
46、n 550 mm. If the identification is by marking on the external surface, the distance between the end of one element of marking and the beginning of the next identical element shall be not greater than 1 100 mm. Conformity shall be checked by visual examination and measurement as specified in 14.6. 1)
47、 Marking BS 7870-8.5:2003 on or in relation to a product represents a manufacturers declaration of conformity, i.e. a claim by or on behalf of the manufacturer that the product meets the requirements of the standard. The accuracy of the claim is solely the claimants responsibility. Such a declaratio
48、n is not to be confused with third-party certification of conformity Element Example of marking a) Electric cable ELECTRIC CABLE b) Voltage designation 600/1 000 V AUX c) British Standard number 1)and cable type BS 7870-8.5 Type 1 or BS 7870-8.5 Type 2 d) Manufacturers identification XYZ 2) See Tabl
