    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Specifies construction, dimensions and tests for cables insulated with thermoplastic materials (including PVC) intended for use in electrical installations at working voltages up to and including 0.6/1 kV. It does not apply to specialized thermoplastic insulated cables for which there are separate Australian standards.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Standard specifies construction, dimensions and tests for cables insulated with thermoplastic material (including PVC) intended for use in electrical installations at working voltages up to and including 0.6/1 kV. Also included are flexible cables with conductors in the range 6 mm2up to and including 25 mm2. Except where otherwise specified in tables of construction and dimensions, cables covered by this Standard are suitable for use as underground cables. It does not apply to specialized thermoplastic insulated cables for which there are separate Australian Standards, e.g. flexible lift control cables, neutral screened cables, welding cables, ships cables, flexible cords and the like.NOTES:Purchasing guidelines are contained in Appendix A.In addition to providing detailed requirements for cables of the types and sizes in the tables of construction and dimensions, this Standard provides the basis of requirements for other types and sizes in the range of materials covered by this Standard.For flexible cables above 25 mm2refer to other Standards, e.g. AS 3116 or AS 1995.
