Resin based reactive compounds used for electrical insulation - Part 3: Specifications for individual materials - Sheet 8: Resins for cable accessories

This sheet 8 of IEC 60455-3 gives the requirements for resins for power cable accessories which conform to this specification and meet established levels of performance. However, the selection of a material by a user for a specific application should be based on the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application and not on this specification alone.

Composés réactifs à base de résines utilisés comme isolants électriques - Partie 3: Spécifications pour matériaux particuliers - Feuille 8: Résines pour accessoires de câbl

La CEI 60455-3-8:2013 contient les exigences pour les résines pour accessoires de câble de puissance conformes à la présente spécification et répondant aux niveaux de performances établis. Cependant, il convient que le choix d'un matériau, par un utilisateur, pour une application spécifique, soit fondé sur les exigences réelles nécessaires pour une performance adéquate de cette application, et non fondé sur cette seule spécification. Mots clés: exigences pour les résines pour accessoires de câble de puissance

Reaktivne zmesi na osnovi smole, ki se uporabljajo za električno izolacijo - 3. del: Specifikacije za posamezne materiale - 8. list: Smolnate zmesi za kabelski pribor

Ta 8. list standarda IEC 60455-3 navaja zahteve za smole za dodatke napajalnih kablov, ki so v skladu s to specifikacijo in ustrezajo določenim ravnem delovanja. Vendar mora uporabnik material za specifično uporabo izbrati glede na dejanske zahteve, ki omogočajo ustrezno delovanje pri tej uporabi, in ne samo na podlagi te specifikacije.

FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication.
