E DIN VDE 0276-626 VDE 0276-626:2023-05

Applies to cables of rated voltage U0/U (Um) = 0,6/1 (1,2) kV used in overhead power distribution systems mainly for public distribution, of maximum system voltage not exceeding 1,2 kV. This part (Part 1) specifies the general requirements applicable to these cables, unless otherwise specified in the particular sections of this HD. Test methods are specified in EN 60228, EN 60332-1 series, EN 60811 series and in HD 605 or in Part 2 of this HD. The particular types of cables are specified in Parts 3 to 10. Collates and specifies the test methods to be used for testing polymeric insulated and sheathed electric cables, of rated voltage up to and including 0,6/1 kV, intended mainly for public distribution systems. Test methods in this part are additional to those already harmonized, e.g. EN 60811 and HD 605. In each case, these HDs give complementary information needed for the practical application to each specific type. Therefore, the present part as such is not sufficient for carrying out and evaluating the tests on electric cables. Full test conditions (e.g. temperatures, duration) and/or test requirements are not specified in this HD. Such data needed to carry out the tests are given in the particular sections. Specifies the construction, dimensions and test requirements for bundle assembled cores for overhead distribution and service (Type 3A-1) used in A.C. and three-phase system for rated voltage (U) of 1 kV for fixed installations.
