IEC 60840-2020 pdf free download – 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.
This document specifies test methods and requirements for power cable systems, cables aloneand accessories alone, for fixed installations and for rated voltages above 30 kV(Um = 36 kV)up to and including 150 kV (Um = 170 kv).
The requirements apply to single-core cables and to individually screened three-core cablesand to their accessories for usual conditions of installation and operation, but not to specialcables,such as submarine cables and their accessories, for which modifications to the standardtests or the setup of special test conditions can be necessary.
This document does not cover transition joints between cables with extruded insulation andpaper insulated cables.
