(Main)Tests for electric cables under fire conditions - Circuit integrity - Part 1: Test method for fire with shock at a temperature of at least 830°C for cables of rated voltage up to and including 0,6/1,0 kV and with an overall diameter exceeding 20 mm
Tests for electric cables under fire conditions - Circuit integrity - Part 1: Test method for fire with shock at a temperature of at least 830°C for cables of rated voltage up to and including 0,6/1,0 kV and with an overall diameter exceeding 20 mm
This document EN 60331-1 specifies the test method for cables which are required to maintain circuit integrity when subject to fire and mechanical shock under specified conditions. This document is applicable to cables of rated voltage not exceeding 600 V/1 000 V, including those of rated voltage below 80 V, metallic data and telecom cables and optical fibre cables. It is intended for use when testing cables of greater than 20 mm overall diameter. Although the scope is restricted to cables with rated voltage up to and including 0,6/1,0 kV, the procedure can be used, with the agreement of the manufacturer and the purchaser, for cables with rated voltage up to and including 1,8/3 (3,3) kV, provided that suitable fuses are used.

Preskusi požarne odpornosti električnih kablov - Celovitost tokokroga - 1. del: Metoda preskušanja požarne odpornosti s temperaturnim udarom vsaj 830 °C za kable z naznačeno napetostjo do vključno 0,6/1,0 kV in zunanjim premerom, večjim od 20 mm (IEC 60331-1:2018)
Ta dokument EN 60331-1 določa preskusno metodo za kable, ki so potrebni za vzdrževanje celovitosti tokokroga, kadar so pod določenimi pogoji izpostavljeni požaru in mehanskim udarcem.
Ta dokument se uporablja za kable, katerih nazivna napetost ne presega 600 V/1000 V, vključno s tistimi z nazivno napetostjo pod 80 V, kovinske podatkovne in telekomunikacijske kable ter kable z optičnimi vlakni.
Namenjen je uporabi pri preskušanju kablov s premerom, večjim od 20 mm.
Čeprav je področje uporabe omejeno na kable z nazivno napetostjo do vključno 0,6/1,0 kV, je postopek mogoče s soglasjem proizvajalca in kupca uporabiti za kable z nazivno napetostjo do vključno 1,8/3 (3,3) kV pod pogojem, da se uporabljajo ustrezne varovalke.
