SPECIFICATION FOR PVC INSULATION AND SHEATH OF ELECTRIC CABLES

( First Revision)
0. FOREWORD
Standards Institution on 30 April 1984, after the draft finalized by the Power Cables Sectional Committee had been approved by the Electrotechnical Division Council. 0.2 This standard was originally published in 1970 with d view to bring under a single cover the various requirements for PVC insulation and sheath of different types of cables. 0.3. This revision has been undertaken to update it in the li~llt of further experience and developments and to align with international practice, where appropriate. Details about methods of test have been, by and large, taken out from this standard and are now covered in a separate standard, to which reference has been made at appropriate places. U.4 This standard is complementary to the individual specification for different types of cables. 0.5 In preparing this standard, considerable assistance has been derived from IEC Publication 502 ( 1983 ) Extruded solid dielectric insulated power cables for rated voltages from 1 kV up to 30 kV , issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission ( IBC ) . 0.6 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard. *Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ).

0.1 This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Indian

IS : 5831. 1984 1. SCOPE 1.1 This standard specifies the physical and electrical requirements for PVC insulation and sheath of electric cables.
1.2 The types of PVC compounds covered by this standard are given below: General purpose insulation for maximum rated conductor Type A temperature 70C intended for cables with rated voltages U,/U up to and including 3.313.3 kV. General purpose insulation for maximum rated conductor Type B temperature 7OW intended for cables with rated voltages U,/U above 3-313.3 kV. Heat resisting insulation for maximum rated conductor Type C temperature 85C intended for cables with rated voltages up to and including 1 100 volts. Type ST1 General purpose sheath intended for use in cables operating at a maximum rated conductor temperature 70C. Type ST2 Heat resisting sheath intended for use in cables operating at a maximum rated conductor temperature 90C. 2. TERMINOLOGY

2.0 For the purpose of this standard, the definitions given in IS : 1885
( Part 32 )-1971* shall apply, in addition to the following. 2.1 Variation - Difference between the median value obtained after ageing and the median vaIue obtained without ageing, expressed as a percentage of the latter. 3. COMPOSITION 5.1 The insulation or sheath shail consist of a compound based on one of the following materials, which have been suitably compounded and processed to meet the requirements of this standard: a) Polyvinyl chloride ( PVC ), b) Suitable co-polymers of which the major constituent shall be vinyl chloride, c) Mixture of (a) and (b). 4.

THERMAL STABILITY TEST B-l. Testing Equipment El.1 Class tubes closed at one end 110 mm long with an outer diameter
of approximately 5 mm and an inner diameter of 4.0 f 0.5 mm. B-l.2 Universal indicating paper with a PH range of 1 to 10. B-1.3 Thermostatically controlled heating apparatus for the specified temperature. B-l.4 Thermometer calibrated in divisions of O*lC. B-1.5 Stop-watch or a suitable time meter. B-2. Testing M e t h o d a) From the insulation of each core to be tested or from the sheath to be tested, three samples, each of 50 f 5 mg, shall be taken in the form of strip, if possible. For small thickness the sample may consist of two or more strips. Each sample shall be inserted into a glass tube as specified in B-1.1. The sample shall occupy the bottom of the tube and not project more than 30 mm above the bottom. b) A strip of dry universal indicating paper as specified in B-1.2, about 15 mm long and 3 mm wide, shall be inserted into the open end ( top ) of the glass tube so that the strip protrudes a b o u t 5 mm out of the tube and can be bent to keep it i n position. 11

k3 : 5831 - 1984
c) The glass tube shall be placed into the heating apparatus, as specified in B-1.3, which has already attained the test temperature specified. The glass tube shall be inserted. into the heating apparatus for a depth of 60 mm.

The time taken for the universal indicating paper to change colour from a pH value of 5 to a pH value of 3 shall be measured, or the test continued for the specified duration without the colour change occurring. The colour change point shall be considered to have been reached when the red colouring of the universal indicating paper characteristic of a @H value of 3 is just becoming visible. The universal indicating paper shall be renewed ( especially for long duration stabilities ) towards the end of the expected test time every 5 to 10 min, so that the change point is better visible.

B-3. Evaluation B-3.1 The average value of the thermal stability times of the three samp
les shall not be lower than the value specified in Table 1 or Table 2 as applicable.
