42、rd. It is not intended that a complete testing programme shall be carried out on every length of conductor and cable. When the purchaser wishes to specify acceptance tests or other quality procedures, it is essential that agreement be reached between the purchaser and the manufacturer by the time of
43、 ordering. 4 Cable construction 4.1 Conductor 4.1.1 Conductor material The conductor shall consist of annealed copper, uniform in quality and free from defects. The properties of the copper shall be in accordance with IEC 60028. 4.1.2 Type of conductor The conductor shall consist of a single strand
44、circular in section. The nominal diameter shall be at least 0,4 mm. 4.1.3 Conductor-finish The conductor shall be plain. 4.1.4 Continuity of conductor Joints in the conductor are permitted provided that the tensile strength of a joint is not less than 90 % of the tensile strength of the unjointed co

For cellular insulation, the cells produced
46、by the expanding process shall be uniformly distributed circumferentially and should be substantially non-intercommunicating. The material for the insulation shall be a virgin thermoplastic compound suitably stabilized. Examples of suitable materials are: Polyethylene. Polypropylene. 4.2.2 Insulatio
47、n thickness The insulation shall be continuous and shall have a thickness such that the completed cable will meet the electrical requirements specified. 4.2.3 Colour of insulated conductor The insulated conductors shall be coloured. Colours shall be readily identifiable and shall correspond reasonab
48、ly with the standard colours shown in IEC 60304. 4.3 Cabling element A cabling element (Figure 1) shall be: - a pair of two insulated conductors twisted together and designated wire a and b respectively, or - a quad of four insulated conductors twisted together and designated wire a, wire c, wire b,
49、 and wire d respectively. The maximum length of lay in the finished cable shall not exceed 150 mm. NOTE Forming the element with a variable lay can lead to the infrequent but acceptable occurrence of the maximum lay being longer than specified. 4.4 Stranding The cable elements shall be formed into a number of sub-units or units which can be stranded into a regular make up to produce the required number of pairs. 4.5 Col
