IEC 60840 Ed. 5.0 b – Power cables with extruded insulation and their accessories for rated voltages above 30 kV (U_m= 36 kV) up to 150 kV (U_m = 170 kV) – Test methods and requirements

IEC 60840:2020 specifies test methods and requirements for power cable systems, cables alone and accessories alone, for fixed installations and for rated voltages above 30 kV (U_m = 36 kV) up to and including 150 kV (U_m = 170 kV). The requirements apply to single-core cables and to individually screened three-core cables and to their accessories for usual conditions of installationand 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. This standard does not cover transition joints between cables with extruded insulation and paper insulated cables.
