Instructions for the safe application of cables
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.
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 voltage HD 516
- Test voltage VDE 0250 T1; EN 50525-1 as well as relevant cable standards
- Minimum bending radius HD 516
- Temperature range HD 516
- Fire performance 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 requirements HD 516 pos. 4.1
- General requirements HD 516 pos. 4.2
- Current-carrying capacity for undisturbed service VDE 0298-4 pos. 5
- Operating conditions VDE 0298-4 pos. 5.3.1
- Ambient conditions VDE 0298-4 pos. 5.3.3
- Requirements for fixed laying HD 516 pos. 4.3
- Requirements for flexible cables HD 516 pos. 4.4
Under "boundary conditions" you will find information on fields that can also be found under the following standards. Among others these are:
- Operating conditions HD 516 pos. 5
- Voltage HD 516 pos. 5.1
- Current-carrying capacity HD 516 pos. 5.2
- Current-carrying capacity: tables: Capacity, cables with nominal voltage up to 1000V and heat resistant cables VDE 0298-4 table 11
- Conversion factors for deviating ambient temperatures VDE 0298-4 table 17 + 18
- Conversion factor for the accumulation of walls, in tubes and conduits, on the floor and at the celling VDE 0298-4 table 21
- Conversion factors for multi-core cables with conductor cross sections up to 10 mm² VDE 0298-4 table 26
- Thermal influences HD 516 pos. 5.3
- Mechanical stress HD 516 pos. 5.4
- Tensile load HD 516 pos. 5.4.1
- Bending load HD 516 pos. 5.4.2
- Compression stress HD 516 pos. 5.4.3
- Torsional stress HD 516 pos. 5.4.4
- Compatibility HD 516 pos. 5.5
- Application in rooms and in the open air HD 516 annex A
- Stress classification HD 516 annex B
- Construction of strands IEC 60228 + VDE 295
