Anotation

This specification covers poly(vinyl chloride) thermoplastic insulation for conducting wires and cables operating continuously at a specified conductor temperature, within the specified voltage range, and under wet or dry conditions. The insulation has potential low-temperature installation limitations. The prescribed tests cannot be performed unless the insulation is formed around a conductor, but these are done solely to determine the insulation properties and not to test the conductor or completed cable. Each test sample should be subjected to an ac and dc voltage withstand tests and insulation resistance test and should comply with the required values for unaged and aged requirements of tensile strength and elongation at rupture, heat shock, heat distortion, vertical flame test results, oil resistance, and cold bend test results. All joints and repairs in the insulation should be done in such a way as the affected parts meet the same electrical requirements as the rest of the insulation.
