BS EN 50525-2-83:2011

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

1 Scope This European Standard applies to multicore cables insulated and sheathed with heat resistant crosslinked silicone rubber. Types with or without an overall textile braid, and with or without a strain-bearing element, are included. The cables are of rated voltages U0/U 300/500 V. The cables are intended for use within high temperature zones, either:

• - in fixed installations with mechanical protection (cables to 4.1); or
• - for flexible use under low mechanical stress (cables to 4.2).

The maximum conductor operating temperature for each of the cables in this standard is 180 °C.

NOTE HD 516 contains extensive guidance on the safe use of cables in this standard.

This EN 50525‑2‑83 should be read in conjunction with EN 50525‑1, which specifies general requirements.
