Abstract

This Uganda Standard specifies the construction, dimensions and test requirements of power cables with extruded solid insulation for rated AC voltages of 1 kV (Um = 1,2 kV) and 3 kV (Um = 3,6 kV) for fixed installations such as distribution networks or industrial installations. Cables of rated AC voltage 1 kV (Um = 1,2 kV) designed and tested in accordance with this document can also be used, if declared by the manufacturer, in DC distribution systems having their nominal voltage ? 750 V DC (with a maximum of 900 V DC) between a live conductor and neutral/earth, or ? 1 500 V DC. (This second edition shall cancel and replace, the first edition, US IEC 60502-1:2009, Power cables with extruded insulation and their accessories for rated voltages from 1 kV (Um = 1,2 kV) up to 30 kV (Um = 36 kV) - Part 1: Cables for rated voltages of 1 kV (Um = 1,2 kV) and 3 kV (Um = 3,6 kV), that has been technically revised and US 601:1995 Standard specification for PVC - Insulated cables for electricity supplies, which has been withdrawn, upon publication of a Legal Notice).
