Power Cable Testing - IEC 60840, IEC 62067
1. Type test of power cable:
-Persulphate test (for copper )
-Annealing test (for copper)
-Tensile test (for Aluminium)
-Wrapping test (for Aluminium)
-Conductor resistance test (for all)
-Test for thickness of insulation (for all)
-Measurement of overall diameter (where specified)(for all)
Physical tests for insulation and sheath
-Tensile strength and elongation at break
-Aging in an air oven
-Aging in air bomb
-Aging in an oxygen bomb
-Hot set
-Oil resistance
-Tear resistance
2. Acceptance test of power cable:
-Annealing test (for copper)
-Tensile test (for Aluminium )
-Wrapping test (for Aluminium )
-Conductor resistance test
-Test for the thickness of insulation and sheath and overall diameter
-Tensile strength and elongation at break of insulation and heath
-Hot set test for insulation and sheath
-High voltage test
-Insulation resistance test
3. Routine test of power cable:
-Conductor resistance test
-High voltage test
-Insulation resistance test
