16、S TESTS ON EXTRUDED OVERSHEATHS WITH A SPECIAL PROTECTIVE FUNCTION 1 Scope This International Standard provides a range of tests which may be required for electric cables which have an extruded oversheath and where that oversheath performs a special protective function. NOTE 1 The need for the speci
17、al functions may be independent of the nature of the insulation type or independent of the rated voltage of the cable. The standard covers cables for use in insulated systems and in uninsulated systems. The tests are categorized for use as a) routine tests, b) type tests, c) tests after installation
18、. These tests comprise: electrical routine tests on cable oversheath used in insulated or uninsulated systems, abrasion and corrosion spread type tests, electrical test on cable oversheath after installation. Routine tests and tests after installation, as specified in the relevant cable standards, a
19、re applicable for all situations. Type tests depend upon the nature of the system and the construction of the cable and do not have to be carried out for normal conditions of use. The application of the abrasion test is given in Annex A. NOTE 2 Guidance on tests after installation is given in Annex
20、B. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. IEC 60230, Impulse test
21、s on cables and their accessories IEC 62230, Electric cables Spark test method 3 Routine tests The electrical integrity of the oversheath shall be tested using either a d.c. voltage test (3.1) or a spark test (3.2). 4 BS EN 60229:2008NOTE The spark test method is not applicable when a conducting lay
22、er is already applied to the oversheath. In such cases only the test according to 3.1 may be used. Testing is applicable in all cases. 3.1 D.C. voltage test A d.c. voltage of 8 kV per millimetre of the specified nominal thickness of the extruded oversheath shall be applied for 1 min between the unde
23、rlying metal layer at negative polarity and the outer conducting layer, subject to a maximum voltage of 25 kV. No breakdown of the oversheath shall occur during the test. NOTE The outer conducting layer may consist of a conductive layer applied to the extruded oversheath or obtained by immersion in
24、water for the duration of the test. 3.2 Spark test A spark test according to the method given in IEC 62230 shall be carried out by earthing the underlying metallic layer for an a.c. test or connecting it to the negative pole in the case of a d.c. supply. The voltages shall be 6 kV a.c. per millimetr
25、e or 9 kV d.c. per millimetre of the specified nominal thickness of the extruded oversheath, subject to maximum values of 15 kV a.c. and 25 kV d.c., respectively. The dwell time of the cable in the region of test shall be of sufficient duration to detect any defect. No faults shall be detected durin
26、g the test. 4 Type tests 4.1 Abrasion test 4.1.1 Purpose The purpose of this test is to demonstrate that the extruded oversheath will withstand abrasion during the laying operation. The abrasion test shall be carried out if the oversheath material is not of type ST1, ST2, ST3 or ST7 compound and if
27、the thickness does not comply with the particular IEC cable standard. 4.1.2 Test procedure A sample of the cable, of sufficient length, shall be submitted to the bending operation given in the bending test, as specified in the particular IEC cable standard. After bending, the procedure specified in
28、4.1.2.1 shall be carried out at a temperature of (20 5) C for cases a) and b), as described in Annex A. This shall be followed by the electrical test in 4.1.2.2 for case a) only. 4.1.2.1 Abrasion The sample of cable shall be laid out straight and horizontal on a firm base, with the plane of the prev
29、ious bending operation in the horizontal plane. In the middle of the sample and perpendicular to it, a length of mild steel angle shall be placed horizontally, at right angles to the cable, with its angle edge resting on the cable and with its arms symmetrical about the vertical plane through the lo
30、ngitudinal axis of the cable. The outer radius of curvature of the angle edge shall be not less than 1 mm and not greater than 2 mm (see Figure 1). 5 BS EN 60229:2008Dimensions in millimetres 2 AB13 600 min.IEC 2007/07 Key 1 force (see Table 1) A start/finish position 2 mild steel angle B finish/sta

The steel angle shall be dragged horizontally along the cable for a distance not less than 600 mm at a
32、 speed of between 150 mm/s and 300 mm/s. The direction of movement shall be reversed at the end of each pass to give 50 passes, 25 in each direction over the 600 mm test path.

34、mately 0,1 % by weight of a suitable non-ionic surface active agent. After at least 24 h of constant immersion, a d.c. voltage of 20 kV shall be applied for a period of 1 min between the saline solution and the underlying metal layer which shall be at negative polarity. With the middle of the cable

37、g two longitudinal cuts which do not pass through the conditioned area. The test sample shall be cleaned of foreign material. 4.1.4 Performance requirement The oversheaths shall be deemed satisfactory provided that a) the electrical test has been passed, where required, and b) an examination of the
38、sample with normal or corrected vision without magnification reveals no cracks or splits in the internal and external surfaces. 4.2 Corrosion spread (aluminium metallic screen only) 4.2.1 General The corrosion spread test is relevant in the case of aluminium wires, aluminium sheaths and aluminium fo
39、ils when not bonded to the oversheath. It is not applicable in the case of aluminium sheaths or foils bonded to the oversheath. The purpose is to demonstrate that, in the event of local damage to an oversheath, any consequential corrosion of the outer surface of the aluminium screen will remain virt
40、ually confined to the damaged area of covering. 4.2.2 Test procedure a) Bending operation A sample of cable shall be submitted to the bending procedure of the bending test, as specified in the particular IEC cable standard. 7 BS EN 60229:2008b) Local damage The oversheath shall be punctured down to
41、the aluminium sheath or wires, in four places, by means of a core drill of 10 mm diameter. These four holes shall be arranged spirally about the mid-portion of the cable sample, at longitudinal intervals of about 100 mm and circumferential spacings of 90. All material shall be removed from each hole
42、 to expose the 10 mm diameter of bare aluminium. c) Corrosion procedure The sample shall be formed into a U-shape with the curved portion having a radius of curvature not greater than specified in the bending operation above. The curved portion shall be submerged in a 1 % solution of sodium sulphate
43、 in water at ambient temperature, with the cable ends in the air. All four holes shall be submerged to a depth of at least 500 mm in the solution. With a d.c. voltage applied between the metallic screen and the solution and with metallic screen at negative polarity, a current of 10 mA shall flow for
44、 a total period of (100 2) h. This value of current shall be maintained substantially constant. This may be achieved by the inclusion of a series resistor, resistance value of about 10 k, in the electrical circuit. If two or more samples are electrically tested simultaneously, each sample shall be i
45、ndependently controlled (for example by being connected through its own series resistor). 4.2.3 Inspection The cable sample shall be taken from the solution and the oversheath removed for a length of about 500 mm, extending to at least 100 mm beyond each of the outer holes. All other material in thi
46、s region shall be removed from the metallic screen to expose bare aluminium. 4.2.4 Performance requirement The oversheath shall be deemed satisfactory provided that, by examination with normal or corrected vision without magnification, there are no signs of corrosion extending more than 10 mm beyond
47、 the rim of any hole at any point. 5 Electrical test after installation Where an after installation test of the oversheath is performed, a d.c. voltage of 4 kV per millimetre of specified thickness of extruded oversheath shall be applied with a maximum of 10 kV d.c. between the underlying metallic l
48、ayers and the outer electrode, for a period of 1 min. All metallic layers under the oversheath shall be connected together. This test requires that the oversheath has an outer “electrode” which may be moist backfill or a conductive layer. No breakdown of the oversheath shall occur during the test. 8
49、 BS EN 60229:2008Annex A (normative) Application of the abrasion test A.1 Case a) where the oversheath is to act as an insulation: i) where special metallic screen bonding is employed to reduce metallic sheath or screen losses, resulting in an applied voltage to the oversheath under load and fault conditions; ii) where the underlying metallic layer can be isolated from earth to permit a voltage to be applied to the oversheath to check its integrity. A.2 Case b) where the oversheath is
