EN 60502-1 Test for Extruded Insulated Power Cables and Accessories for Nominal Voltages from 1 kV to 30 kV

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 60502-1 testing. This part of IEC 60502 specifies the construction, dimensions and test requirements for extruded solid insulated power cables for nominal AC voltages of 1 kV.

Cables with a voltage of 1 kV AC ( U m = 1,2 kV) are designed and tested in accordance with this document and, if declared by the manufacturer, can also be used between a live conductor in DC distribution systems with a rated voltage of ≤ 750 V DC (with a maximum of 900 V DC). available. The core designation applicable to DC systems is evaluated in accordance with local installation regulations.

Recommendations for preferred core colors for line conductors in DC systems are given in IEC 60445. However, local installation regulations for DC systems may already contain certain identification requirements.

This standard includes cables that exhibit low flame spread, low smoke emission and halogen-free gas emission characteristics when exposed to fire.

Cables for special installation and service conditions, e.g. overhead networks, mining industry, nuclear power plants (in and around the protected area), submarine use or ship application, or cables directly connected to photovoltaic systems are not included.
