Bibliography
Describes tests and requirements for power cables with XLPE insulation and metallic sheath and their accessories for rated voltages from 66 kV (72.5 kV) to 132 kV (145 kV) for fixed installations. Also applies to single core cables and 3-core cables with separate cores and to their accessories for usual conditions of installation and operation.
