15、iiBS 7835:2007ForewordPublishing informationThis British Standard is published by BSI and came into effect on 30 November 2007. It was prepared by Subcommittee GEL/20/16, Medium/high voltage cables, under the authority of Technical Committee GEL/20, Electric cables. A list of organizations represent

16、ed on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary. SupersessionThis British Standard supersedes BS 7835:2000, which is withdrawn.Information about this documentThis revision of BS 7835 has been prepared to bring the requirements up to date in accordance with current practice in the in

17、dustry and to align with the methods used for calculating cable component dimensions given in IEC 60502-2.This standard specifies requirements for cables in the rated voltage range from 3.8/6.6 kV up to 19/33 kV which are insulated with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) or ethylene propylene rubber c

18、ompound (EPR), with improved performance under fire conditions compared to the cables specified in BS 6622.Hazard warningsUse of this documentIt has been assumed in the preparation of this British Standard that the execution of its provisions will be entrusted to appropriately qualified and experien

19、ced people, for whose use it has been produced.Presentational conventionsThe provisions of this standard are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type. Its requirements are expressed in sentences in which the principal auxiliary verb is “shall”.Commentary, explanation and general informative material i

20、s presented in smaller italic type and does not constitute a normative element.Contractual and legal considerationsThis publication does not purport to include all necessary provisions of a contract. Users are responsible for its correct application.Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer i

21、mmunity from legal obligations.WARNING. This British Standard calls for the use of substances and/or procedures that can be injurious to health if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability and does not absolve the user from legal obligations relating to health and s

22、afety at any stage.iv BSI 2008 This page deliberately left blankBS 7835:2007 BSI 2008 1BS 7835:20071 ScopeThis British Standard specifies requirements and test methods for the construction, dimensions and mechanical and electrical properties of armoured cables with thermosetting insulation for rated

23、 voltages from 3.8/6.6 (7.2) kV up to 19/33 (36) kV inclusive which, when assessed by the specified tests, produce lower levels of smoke and corrosive gases on exposure to fire compared to the cables specified in BS 6622. It covers cables designed for a maximum continuous conductor operating tempera

24、ture of 90 C and for a maximum short circuit conductor temperature of 250 C, for use in fixed installations such as networks or industrial installations. This British Standard specifies single-core and three-core cables for voltages in the range 3.8/6.6 (7.2) kV up to 19/33 (36) kV, with: a stranded

25、 copper, stranded aluminium or solid aluminium conductor or conductors; cross-linked polyethylene or cross-linked ethylene propylene rubber insulation; a metallic screening layer of copper wire or copper tape and/or a metallic armour of aluminium or galvanized steel wire; a thermoplastic oversheath.

26、NOTE Guidance on the selection of cables is given in Annex A.
