BS EN 50525-2-81:2011

Electric cables. Low voltage energy cables of rated voltages up to and including 450/750 V (U0/U). Cables for general applications. Cables with crosslinked elastomeric covering for arc welding | Status: Confirmed, Current

1 Scope This European Standard applies to single core, crosslinked elastomer covered arc welding cables. The cables are of rated voltage U0/U 100/100 V. The cables are intended for connections between the welding power source and the electrode holder and the work piece. Two types of cable are included, with respectively Class D and Class E conductors. These conductors are more flexible than Class 6 to EN 60228, with Class E having the greater flexibility. The maximum conductor operating temperature for each of the cables in this standard is 85 °C.

NOTE HD 516 contains extensive guidance on the safe use of cables in this standard, and gives specific current ratings and volt drop data.

This EN 50525‑2‑81 should be read in conjunction with EN 50525‑1, which specifies general requirements.
