22、 The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical
23、 and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical
24、 committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organizati
25、on for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical comm
26、ittee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications i
27、s accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and
28、regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and
29、, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or
30、agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use
31、of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that so
32、me of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 60702-3 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 20: Electric cables. This first edition of IEC 60702-3 is b
33、ased on CENELEC HD 586.3. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 20/1618/FDIS 20/1623/RVD Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafte
34、d in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. BS EN 60702-3:2016 4 IEC 60702-3:2016 IEC 2016 A list of all parts in the IEC 60702 series, published under the general title Mineral insulated cables and their terminations with a rated voltage not exceeding 750 V, can be found on the IEC website
35、. The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC website under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a rev
36、ised edition, or amended.

37、ns with a rated voltage not exceeding 750 V which are specified in IEC 60702-1 and IEC 60702-2. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited app
38、lies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. IEC 60364-1, Low-voltage electrical installations Part 1: Fundamental principles, assessment of general characteristics, definitions 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this docume
39、nt, the terms and definitions given in IEC 60364-1 apply. 4 Safety 4.1 Fundamental considerations 4.1.1 Safety of a cable means that the product does not present an unacceptable risk of danger to life or property whilst being used in its intended manner. 4.1.2 Unless otherwise stated, cables shall n
40、ot be used for any other purpose than the transmission and distribution of electricity. 4.1.3 The test methods, test parameters and requirements described in IEC 60702-1 and IEC 60702-2 are only provided for the purpose of checking design with respect to safety and quality assurance. They shall not
41、be regarded as providing guidance as to whether the cables are suitable for service under conditions equivalent to the test conditions. 4.2 General 4.2.1 All conductors and cables shall be selected so as to be suitable for the voltages and currents likely to occur under all conditions which are or s
42、hall have been anticipated in the equipment or installation in which they are used. 4.2.2 Cables shall be constructed, installed, protected, used and maintained so as to prevent danger so far as it is reasonably practical. 4.2.3 The limiting temperature conditions under which mineral insulated cable
43、s and terminations can reasonably be expected to operate safely under normal circumstances are given in Table 1. BS EN 60702-3:2016 6 IEC 60702-3:2016 IEC 2016 These conditions are those which are considered capable of ensuring a reasonable length of life in service. It has been accepted as reasonab
44、le by experience and use of the cable and terminations in the particular installations.
