Communication cables - Part 2-29: Common design rules and construction - Crosslinked polyethylene insulation compounds: instrumentation, control and field bus cables

This Part 2-29 of EN 50290 gives specific requirements for Crosslinked Polyethylene (XLPE) compounds to be used for the insulation of instrumentation, control and field bus cables. There are several routes used for manufacture of XLPE insulated cables and as a consequence a number of different types of polyethylene compound may be specified. The compounds required for the different manufacturing processes are described (Table 1). The unstabilised materials require antioxidant to be added during the cable extrusion process.

Kommunikationskabel - Teil 2-29: Gemeinsame Regeln für Entwicklung und Konstruktion - Vernetzte PE-Isolier-Mischungen

Dieser Teil 2-29 der EN 50290 gibt spezifische Anforderungen für vernetzte Polyethylen (XLPE) Mischungen, die für die Isolierung von Mess-, Steuer- und Feldbuskabeln verwendet werden. Es gibt verschiedene Wege zur Herstellung von XLPE-Kabeln und als Folge davon kann eine Anzahl von verschiedenen Typen von Polyethylen Mischungen festgelegt werden. Die für die unterschiedlichen Fertigungsprozesse benötigten Mischungen sind in Tabelle 1 beschrieben. Die unstabilisierten Materialien erfordern Antioxidantien die während des Kabel-extrusionsverfahrens zugesetzt werden.
Diese Europäische Norm ist in Verbindung mit Teil 2-20 der EN 50290, sowie den Produktnormen EN 50288-7, EN 61158 und anderen anwendbaren Produktnormen zu lesen.
Die Verwendung der Prüfwerte der Rohstoffe und der Daten von Typprüfungen wie in dieser Norm beschrieben, stellt dem Lieferanten der Rohstoffe ausreichende Daten zur Verfügung, um die Nachweise der Übereinstimmung mit den Anforderungen zu erbringen und um zu garantieren, dass das Material für die festgelegte Anwendung geeignet ist.

Câbles de communication - Partie 2-29: Règles de conception communes et construction – PE réticulé pour enveloppes isolantes

La présente partie 2-29 de l'EN 50290 donne des exigences spécifiques relatives aux mélanges de polyéthylène réticulé (XLPE) destinés à être utilisés pour l'isolation des câbles d'instrumentation, de commande et de bus de terrain. Il existe de nombreux procédés de fabrication des câbles isolés au XLPE et, en conséquence, différents types de mélanges de polyéthylène peuvent être spécifiés. Les mélanges exigés pour les différents procédés de fabrication sont décrits dans le Tableau 1. Les matériaux non stabilisés exigent l'ajout d'agents antioxydants pendant le processus d'extrusion des câbles.
Il est indispensable de lire la présente Norme européenne conjointement avec la partie 2-20 de l'EN 50290, les normes de produit EN 50288-7 et EN 61158 et d'autres normes de produit applicables.
Les données d'essai de type et les données sur les matières premières décrites dans la présente norme donnent suffisamment d'informations au fournisseur de matières premières pour démontrer la conformité et garantir que le matériau est approprié à l'application spécifiée.

Komunikacijski kabli - 2-29. del: Skupna pravila za snovanje in konstruiranje - Zamrežene polietilenske izolacijske zmesi: kabli za instrumente, krmiljenje in zunanja vodila

Ta 2.–29. del standarda EN 50290 določa posebne zahteve za zamrežene polietilenske (XLPE) zmesi, ki se uporabljajo za izolacijo instrumentov, krmiljenja in zunanjih vodil. Ker lahko proizvodnja izoliranih kablov iz zamreženih polietilenskih zmesi poteka na več načinov, je posledično lahko določenih več različnih vrst polietilenskih zmesi. Opisane so zmesi, potrebne za različne proizvodne postopke (preglednica 1). Med postopkom ekstrudiranja kabla je treba nestabiliziranim materialom dodati antioksidant.
