(Main)Power cables with extruded insulation and their accessories for rated voltages above 150 kV (Um = 170 kV) up to 500 kV (Um = 550 kV) - Test methods and requirements
Power cables with extruded insulation and their accessories for rated voltages above 150 kV (<em>U</em><sub>m</sub> = 170 kV) up to 500 kV (<em>U</em><sub>m</sub> = 550 kV) - Test methods and requirements
IEC 62067:2022 is available as IEC 62067:2022 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 62067:2022 specifies test methods and requirements for power cable systems, cables with extruded insulation and their accessories for fixed installations, for rated voltages above 150 kV (Um = 170 kV) up to and including 500 kV (Um = 550 kV). The requirements apply to single-core cables and to their accessories for usual conditions of installation and operation, but not to special cables and their accessories, such as submarine cables, for which modifications to the standard tests can be necessary or special test conditions that may need to be devised. This document does not cover transition joints between cables with extruded insulation and paper insulated cables.
Câbles d'énergie à isolation extrudée et leurs accessoires pour des tensions assignées supérieures à 150 kV (<em>U</em><sub>m</sub> = 170 kV) et jusqu'à 500 kV (<em>U</em><sub>m</sub> = 550 kV) - Méthodes et exigences d'essai
IEC 62067:2022 est disponible sous forme de IEC 62067:2022 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.
L'IEC 62067:2022 spécifie les méthodes et exigences d'essai relatives aux systèmes de câbles d'énergie, aux câbles à isolation extrudée et à leurs accessoires destinés aux installations fixes, pour des tensions assignées supérieures à 150 kV (Um = 170 kV) et jusqu'à 500 kV (Um = 550 kV) compris. Les exigences sont applicables aux câbles unipolaires et à leurs accessoires dans des conditions d'installation et de fonctionnement courantes, mais ne sont pas applicables aux câbles spéciaux et à leurs accessoires, tels que les câbles sous-marins, pour lesquels il peut être nécessaire de modifier les essais normalisés ou d'établir des conditions d'essai particulières. Les jonctions qui assurent le raccordement des câbles à isolant extrudé aux câbles isolés au papier ne sont pas couvertes par le présent document.
