5.1 Ele tric l te t methods

5.1.1 Lon - erm re ista ce of ins lation to d.c volta e

5.1.1.1 Te t s mple

Car y out the test on a sample of ca le of 5 m len th f rom whic al coverin s have b en

For ca les havin up to f i e cores, e c core s al b tested For multicore ca les havin

more than five cores, one core of e c colour in the ca le s al b tested, an where the

n mb r of colours is les than 5, d pl cate coloured cores s al b tested as neces ary to

brin the n mb r of cores tested up to a minimum of 5

Take care to avoid damage to the core(s) d rin removal of the coverin s

5.1.1.2 Proc d re

Immerse the sample, f or the p riod an at the temp rature given in the relevant ca le

stan ard, in an aq e u solution of sodium c loride havin a con entration of 10 g/l, with a

negative p le of a 2 0 V d.c s p ly to the con u tor(s) of the sample an the p sitive p le to

a co p r electrode immersed in the solution for the time given in the relevant ca le stan ard

Test al the ca le that is in the f i al stage of man facture, whether it is in del very len th or

car ied out as a routine (R) test

5.1.2.2 Spark te t

5.1.2.2.1 Proc dure

Car y out the test ac ordin to IEC 6 2 0, ex e t that the o tion to u e a pulsed waveform

5.1.2.2.2 Re uireme t

No faults s al b detected d rin the test

5.1.2.3 Voltag te t

5.1.2.3.1 Proc dure

With the ca le in the dry state an at ambient temp rature a ply a voltage of the mag itu e
