BS EN 61358:1996 is a British Standard (BS) that has been harmonized with the European Standard (EN) and specifies the performance requirements for power cables with extruded insulation and their accessories for rated voltages from 1 kV (kilovolt) up to 30 kV (kilovolt). The standard covers cables and their accessories used in power distribution networks and industrial applications.
Some key aspects covered by BS EN 61358:1996 include:
Construction requirements: The standard provides guidelines for the construction of power cables with extruded insulation, including the materials used, conductor sizes, insulation thickness, and cable dimensions.
Electrical characteristics: The standard specifies the electrical properties that power cables should meet, such as voltage ratings, insulation resistance, and conductor resistance.
Mechanical properties: It outlines the mechanical requirements that power cables must satisfy, including flexibility, tensile strength, and resistance to impact and abrasion.
Environmental considerations: The standard addresses the behavior of power cables in various environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and exposure to sunlight. It also covers resistance to chemical substances and oils.
Testing and verification: BS EN 61358:1996 defines the testing procedures and requirements for power cables and their accessories to ensure compliance with the standard. This includes tests for electrical properties, mechanical performance, and environmental resistance.
It's important to note that standards are periodically revised and updated. As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the information provided reflects the state of BS EN 61358:1996 at that time. It's recommended to consult the latest version of the standard or any subsequent revisions for the most up-to-date information.
