29.060.20 - Cables

This standard specifies the procedure for testing the resistance to vertical flame propagation for a single vertical electrical insulated conductor or cable, or optical fibre cable, under fire conditions.

This document contains the requirements for covered conductors with or without integrated longitudinal watertightness and/or semi-conductive conductor screen for applications in overhead lines with rated voltages U above 1 kV a.c. and not exceeding 36 kV a.c.

EN 60332-3-10:2018 details the apparatus and its arrangement and calibration for methods of test for the assessment of vertical flame spread of vertically mounted bunched wires or cables, electrical or optical, under defined conditions.

This document details a designation system for harmonised power cables and cords according to EN 50525 (series), EN 50214, EN 50618 and EN 50620.
NOTE The use of the system for Recognised National Types of cable or cord has been withdrawn by CLC/TC 20. For non-harmonised cables National Committees are permitted to use any designation that does not conflict with this HD, but see Tables 2 and 4 for recommendations.

IEC 60840:2020 is available as IEC 60840:2020 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 60840:2020 specifies test methods and requirements for power cable systems, cables alone and accessories alone, for fixed installations and for rated voltages above 30 kV (Um = 36 kV) up to and including 150 kV (Um = 170 kV). The requirements apply to single-core cables and to individually screened t...view more

IEC 62893-4-1:2020 applies to cables for DC charging according to mode 4 of IEC 61851-1. These cables are not intended to be used with a thermal management system such as that specified in IEC 61851-23.
Charging cables specified in IEC 62893 (all parts) are intended to be used for electrical appliances of class II equipment.
The maximum conductor operating temperature for the cables in this document is 90 °C.
The test methods specified are given in IEC 62893-2, IEC 60245-2, IEC 60332-1-2, IEC...view more

EN 50306-4 specifies requirements for, and constructions and dimensions of, multicore and multipair cables rated voltage Uo/U: 300/500 V, of the following types:
- unscreened, sheathed for either exposed or protected wiring, 0,5 mm2 to 2,5 mm2, number of cores from 2 to 48;
- screened, sheathed for either exposed or protected wiring, 0,5 mm2 to 2,5 mm2, number of cores from 2 to 8;
- unscreened, sheathed for either exposed or protected wiring, 0,5 mm2 to 1,5 mm2, number of screened pairs of c...view more

This standard specifies special test methods applicable to cables, and their constituent insulating and sheathing materials, for use in railway rolling stock.  Such cables are specified in the various parts of EN 50264, EN 50306 and EN 50382.

EN 50306-3 specifies requirements for, and constructions and dimensions of, multicore cables, rated voltage Uo/U=300/500 V, of the following type: Screened, 0,5 mm2 to 2,5 mm2, number of cores from 1 to 8. All cables have stranded tinned copper conductors, and thin wall thickness, halogen-free, insulation and sheath. They are for use in railway rolling stock as fixed wiring, or wiring where limited flexing in operation is encountered.

EN 50306 1 specifies the general requirements applicable to the cables given EN 50306 2, EN 50306 3 and EN 50306 4. It includes the detailed requirements for S2 sheathing materials and other components called up in the separate Parts. In particular EN 50306 1 specifies those requirements relating to fire safety which enable the cables to satisfy Hazard Level3 of EN 45545-1 and -2.

EN 50306-2 specifies requirements for, and constructions and dimensions of, single core cables, rated voltage Uo / U= 300 /300 V, of the following type:  Unscreened, 0,5 mm2 to 2,5 mm2 single core
