Part 1
1 General
1.1 Scope
This standard specifies test requirements for power cables with extruded insulation, of the types listed
in 1.5 and their accessories, for rated voltages above 36 kV (U = 42 kV) up to and including 150 kV
m
(U = 170 kV) for fixed installations intended for transmission and distribution systems, and for use in
m
power generating plants and sub-stations.
However, the summary of tests as listed in one only of the particular sections in Parts 3 to 11 of this
HD is mandatory for the particular cables ordered.
In these parts each section is an individual alternative to Part 1.
Depending on the design and the system conditions, additional or even fewer tests or other
requirements which are not described in the Part 1 can be specified in these particular sections of
Parts 3 to 11.
The requirements apply to single-core cables and to three-core cables with separate cores 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 may be
necessary or special test conditions may need to be devised.

publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the

1.4 Relationship of test voltages to rated voltages
Where test voltages are specified in this standard as multiples of the rated voltage U , the value of U
0 0
for the determination of the test voltages shall be as specified in Table 1.
For cables and accessories of rated voltages not shown in the table, the value of U for determination
0
of test voltages may be the same as for the nearest rated voltage which is given, provided that the
value of U for the cable and accessory is not higher than the corresponding value in the table.

Otherwise, and particularly if the rated voltage is not close to one of the values in the table, the value of
U on which the test voltages are based shall be the rated value, i.e. U divided by .

The test voltages in the standard are based on the assumption that the cables and accessories are
used on systems of category A, as defined in IEC 60183.
1.5 Cable insulating materials
This standard applies to cables insulated with the materials listed in Table 2, which also specifies for
cables with each type of insulating compound the maximum operating conductor temperatures on
which the specified test conditions are based.
1.6 Precautions against water penetration in cables
A water impermeable barrier around the cable is recommended. Tests for radial water penetration are
not included in this standard.
A test for longitudinal water penetration is given in 5.6.16.

1.10 Definitions concerning the tests
NOTE  Tests classified as Sample (S) or Routine (R) may be required as part of any type approval scheme.
1.10.1 Routine tests (Symbol R)
Tests made by the manufacturer on each manufactured length of cable to check that the whole of each
length meets the specified requirements.
1.10.2 Sample tests (Symbol S)
Tests made by the manufacturer on samples of completed cable or components taken from a
completed cable, at a specified frequency, so as to verify that the finished product meets the specified
requirements.
1.10.3 Type tests (Symbol T)
Tests made before supplying on a general commercial basis a type of cable or cable and accessories
covered by this standard, in order to demonstrate satisfactory performance characteristics to meet the
intended application. Once successfully completed, these tests need not be repeated, unless changes
are made in the cable or accessory materials, or design or manufacturing process which might change
the performance characteristics.
1.10.4 Electrical tests after installation
Tests made to demonstrate the integrity of the cable and its accessories as installed.
1.11 Definitions of dimensional values (thicknesses, cross-sections, etc.)
1.11.1 Nominal value
Value by which a quantity is designated and which is often used in tables.
NOTE  Usually, in this standard, nominal values give rise to values to be checked by measurements taking int
