Notes for the safe application of cables


Overview of the relevant standards

The cables manufactured by SAB Bröckskes are only appropriate for the transmission of electric energy for supply and signalling purposes.

First of all the valid construction and installation prescriptions for the corresponding machine or equipment has to be observed. The valid
VDE prescription 0100 can be regarded as base. Furthermore, the following security advice has to be observed for the use of cables.

The safe application is described under„security requirements” and „boundary conditions”.

For each cable type you can find under „technical data” information on fields that can also be found under the following standards.
Among others these are:

Nominal voltage, Peak operating voltageHD 516 
Test voltageVDE 0250 T1; EN 50525-1 as well as relevant cable standards
Minimum bending radiusHD 516 
Temperature rangeHD 516
Fire performancestandards of series IEC 60332 as well as relevant cable standards
Resistances

EN 60811-404  as well as relevant cable standards

 

Under „security requirements” you will find information on fields that can also be found under the following standards.
Among others these are.:

Basic requirementsHD 516 Pos. 4.
General requirements HD 516 Pos. 4.2
Current-carrying capacity for undisturbed serviceVDE 0298-4 Pos. 5
