Guide for procurement of power station equipment -- Part 2-8: Electrical equipment - Power cables
This standard gives guidance on writing the technical specification for the procurement of low voltage (LV) and medium voltage (MV) power cables for use in electricity generating stations (power stations). This Guide for procurement is not applicable to equipment for use in the nuclear reactor plant area of nuclear power stations. Other possible applications of such equipment have not been considered in the preparation of this Guide.
This Guide covers power cables only for voltages up to and including Um = 41,5 kV. This Guide does not cover cables for public distribution systems, control and instrumentation systems or communications systems.
For guidance on the technical specification of cables, including their installation and termination, refer to EN 45510-2-6
The equipment covered by this Guide is defined by its function rather than design type. Therefore, the guidance to the specification is stated in performance terms rather than being specified by a detailed description of the equipment to be supplied.
This Guide indicates to potential purchasers how their specification should be prepared so that:
- the equipment type and capacity interfaces correctly with other elements of the systems;
- predicted performance is achieved;
- ancillary equipment is properly sized;
- reliability, availability and safety requirements are achieved;
- proper consideration is given to the evaluation process and the quality measures to be applied.
This Guide does not determine the type of specification (e.g. detailed, performance, functional) or the extent of supply for any given contract which is normally decided on the basis of the purchaser’s project strategy. It does not cover:
- any commercial, contractual or legal issues which are normally in separate parts of an enquiry;
- any allocation of responsibilities which are determined by the contract.
This Guide does not prescribe the arrangement of the documents in the enquiry.

Foreword
This standard takes the form of a recommendation and is therefore entitled a “Guide”.
This Guide for procurement has been prepared by the CEN/CENELEC Joint Task Force Power Engineering (JTFPE) of which the secretariat is held by the British Standards Institution.
The text of the draft was submitted to the formal vote and was approved by CEN and CENELEC as EN 45510-2-8 on 2001-03-06.
The following dates were fixed:
- latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2005-03-01
- latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2007-03-01
This Guide for procurement has been prepared under mandates given to CEN and CENELEC by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
This Guide for procurement is a part of a series of Guides mandated to cover the procurement of power station plant and equipment in conformity with European Procurement Directives. The Guides are:

– the equipment type and capacity interfaces correctly with other elements of the systems;
– predicted performance is achieved;
– ancillary equipment is properly sized;

– proper consideration is given to the evaluation process and the quality measures to be applied.
This Guide does not determine the type of specification (e.g. detailed, performance, functional) or the extent of supply for any given contract which is normally decided on the basis of the purchaser’s project strategy. It does not cover:
– any commercial, contractual or legal issues which are normally in separate parts of an
enquiry;

This Guide does not prescribe the arrangement of the documents in the enquiry.
NOTE
As a comprehensive European environmental policy is still under preparation, this
Guide does not address the environmental implications of the equipment.

Brief overall project description
4.1
Role and organisation of purchaser
The enquiry should define the purchaser’s role in the project, including whether the purchaser will assume responsibility for the planning and technical coordination of the project, or whether other organisations will be appointed to carry out all or part of this function. The enquiry should define all organisational interfaces and the procedures to be employed for managing the contract and the site.
4.2
Site location
The specification should describe the geographical location of the site which may include surveying points, the previous use of the site and any local features such as
impact of industrial or military activities and planning restrictions.
Where applicable, the specification should indicate site datum on specification drawings and specify site and drawing orientation and define co-ordinate axes (x,y,z) and numbering order
to ensure consistency between suppliers of connected equipment.
Where appropriate, the specification should define the permitted ground loading, dimensional and time restrictions on access routes up to but not including public roads or railways.
The specification should identify, where appropriate, the
environment of the site in which the equipment will operate. The following factors may normally be included if appropriate:
– climatic e.g. atmospheric pressure, annual variation of air and cooling water temperature, relative humidity, rain fall, icing, snow, wind velocity (normal and maximum), lightning;
– geological e.g. seismic conditions and characteristics of subsoil (e.g. caverns, gliding stratifications, load bearing capability of subsoils);
– geographic e.g. elevation, influence of local topography and structures;
– hydrological
e.g. flooding and tides.
4.3
Equipment task
The specification should describe in general terms the function, task or role of the equipment to be purchased. e.g. whether it is part of a new power generating
plant, a modification to an existing power generating plant or replacement equipment.
Where appropriate, the specification should define the function and the known limitations, if any, in the equipment connected to that which is being supplied so that the equipment may avoid imposing adverse conditions or the supplier may suggest modifications to connected equipment which would ensure satisfactory operation.
4.4
Equipment to be purchased
The specification may define the equipment type or arrangement to be purchased.
For example, either the purchaser should define the cable type, cross-section and length or, if the supplier is asked to select the cable, the specification should give the supplier all necessary information to allow the correct cable type and cross-section to be selected.
Such information may be as given in Annex B and/or IEC 60183.
The purchaser may need to define the length of cable to be supplied on each drum or, alternatively, a minimum drum length.
EN 45510-2-8:2004 - 10 -
The specification may also define preferences for equipment types (or give information) regarding compatibility with existing equipment, if required.
The specification should define the intended methods or
local practice for maintenance, inspection and operation.
The specification should define
requirements with regard to the general appearance of the equipment (e.g. dimensions, shape or colour) to meet local planning requirements or specific criteria, where such requirements exist.
NOTE
Attention is drawn to European, national and/or local legislation which may place
restrictions in this area.

10.1
Specific equipment features
10.1.1 General
For the installation of cables in electricity generating stations, different cable types according to the references listed in Annex A may be used such as :
– LV/MV power cables, unarmoured and armoured,
– wiring cables,
– halogen-free and/or fire resistant cables,
– flexible cables,
– mineral insulated cables, etc.
The design, properties and associated test procedures and parameters are fully described in the relevant standards.
See Annex A.
If additional requirements, e.g. special thermal requirements or fire performance requirements or resistance against chemicals are demanded, other cable types according to e.g. national regulations might be taken into account.
10.1.2 Fire performance
It may be appropriate to specify the required fire performance, for example, to obtain a consistent level from all cable types in an installation as far as is practicable.
Further guidance may need to be sought from the cable manufacturers.
• Fire tests on vertically-installed, insulated wire or cable
This should preferably be in accordance with one of the following:
– single insulated wire or cable; EN 50265,
– bunched wires or cables; EN 50266.
The specification should identify the cable or wire size(s) to be tested and, for bunched wires or cables, the test category.
• Smoke density
Typical test methods and requirements are given in EN 50268-1 and EN 50268-2.
The specification may identify the samples of cables to be tested.
10.1.3 Packaging
Cables should be supplied on cable drums.
The proper direction for rolling is to be indicated on the drum.
By agreement with the purchaser, short lengths may also be transported horizontally without drums, e.g. coiled.
The minimum inner diameter of the coil or the drum barrel diameter may be given in the specification.
All cable ends should be sealed to prevent the ingress of moisture into the cable.
- 13 - EN 45510-2-8:2004
Labelling should be applied to the drums or coils and should contain complete information on the cable type, cross-section and delivery length, and be applied in such a way as to withstand exposure to the weather or transport damage.
The delivery notes should include the drum numbers, the cable type, cross-section and the delivery lengths.
The delivery drums should be in a good condition to avoid possible damage to the cable.
The barrel should be substantially smooth.
The specification or supplier should indicate, whether the delivery drums are returnable or not.
The specification should state the method of physical protection of the cable during transportation.
10.1.4
Transport and storage
For the transport of cables only suitable carriers should be used. Cable drums should preferably be transported with drum axis horizontal. The drums should be protected against movement. Loading and unloading should be made by suitable devices to avoid damage to the cables and the cable drums. Fu
