Preface

This isnot justa catalogue. It iswhat youhavebeen looking for - aproduct guide to choosing the design you need for your project, plant or application ....

... CREATED TO PROVIDE YOUWITH THE CABLE SOLUTION YOU NEED.

TheEuropeanStandardEN50288-7isthefirsteverstandardforinstru-mentation and control cables to address the entire range of demands andreqirementsofgeneralandspecificindustrialcableapplications.

Incontrasttotheexistingofficialregulationsandspecifications,thenewstandard covers the huge variety of cable designs used in today‘s global business. The meaningful and comprehensive (but nevertheless stand-ardized) range of different versions in terms of designandmaterialsusedallowsyou to selectcable designs which comply with the standardbut still meet the requirements of the application.

ThenewstandardwillbecomplementedbyEuro-pean standards for materials and testing. These standardsdonotexistasyet,soweshallrefertoIEC standards or national standards here.

On the solid basis of many years of experience in international business (either project-oriented or geared to the site requirements of the custom-ers) inconjunctionwiththenewstandard,wehavedefinedaverywideproductrangedesignedtomeetallyourfield-drivenproduct requirements.

Wehave selected and elaborated a product programme de-signed to cover all usual applications. The diversity of the en-vironmental, electrical, mechanical, installation and safety re-quirements produces a need for an extensive range of products. This first section covers allnecessary information on product families. In-formation on specific typeswill be provided onrequest or via other media.

The extremely systematic organisation of this guide to the various product families will allowyou to select your product to match your applica-tionandmeetyourrequirementswithmaximumefficiency.

2.4 Insulation

2.4.1 Insulation materials

Theinsulatingmaterialsusedinclude:

polyvinylchloride PVC EN090-- polyethylene PE EN090-- polypropylene PP EN090-- halogen-free, flame retardant compound HFRC EN 50299-2-26 cross-linkedpolyethylene XLPE EN090--9

Themostwidelyused insulatingmaterial today ispolyethylene, followedbypolyvinylchlorideandcross-linkedpolyethylene. Other materials such as materials resistant to high temperatures, polypropylene and foamed materi-als are used for special purposes only.

Selection criteria for insulation materials are

electrical transmission properties

limited operating temperatures

Thefollowingcriteriacanalsobesignificantincertainspecialcases:

flamebehaviour

suitability for special connection techniques

resistance to oil and gas

resistance to radiation

2.5 Cabling elements

Cabling elements according to the standard are cores, pairs, triples and quads.

Acoreisaninsulatedconductor

A pair consists of two twisted cores which form a linecircuit

A tripleconsistsof three twistedcoreswhich form linecircuitswithoneanother

Aquadconsistsof four twistedcores inwhich thedia-metricallyopposedcoresformalinecircuit

The length of lay of a part, triple or quad, must not exceed

00mmforconductorsizes≤.mm²or

0mmforconductorsize.mm²

Tokeepinternalinterferenceofcablingelements–pairs,triplesorquads–aslowaspossible,adjacentelementshave different lengths of lay.

2.6 Cable assembly

The cable elements must be assembled in concentric layers to form the cable core either

directlyor

intheformofunits

Units consist of a certain number of cores, pairs, triples or quads.

The direction of lay of successive layers of multi layer cables changes from layer to layer. This measure also con-tributes to the mutual decoupling of unScreened pairs, triples or quads from each other.



2.7 Screening

2.7.1 design

Screening can be either screening of individual cable elements and/or an overall screening. Screening measures accordingtothestandardarelistedbelow:

plain or coated copper braid with a minimum filling factor of 0.6

a combination of plastic-laminated metal foil and a plain or coated copper braid with a minimum filling factor of 0.3

plastic-laminatedmetalfoilwithaminimumoverlapof0%,adrainwireindirectcontactwiththemetal-licsideofthefoilandalaminatedsheath(foroverallscreeningonly).

Screening measures must be provided in order to reduce or prevent possible interference such as

cross-talk from adjacent line circuit in the cable itself or

externally induced inference from sources outside the cable.

2.7.2 Internal interference

TheonlysignificantfactorforScreeningagainstinternalinterferenceisthecapacitance(unbalanced)betweenthecabling elements. Magnetic interference can be disregarded here.

Precautions used for reducing and to avoiding internal interference are

different length of lay of the various cabling elements (see 2.3) or

individual screening of the various cabling elements

Individual screening usually consists of plastic-laminated aluminium foil applied so as to overlap helically and a copperdrainwireincontinuouscontactwiththemetallicsideofthefoil.

An at least 20 % overlap of the foil guarantees 100 % coverage of the cabling element even in small bends.



2.7.3 External interference

ScreeningagainstexternalinterferencehastotaketheinfluenceofbothelectricandmagneticinterferenceintoaccountandmakeadistinctionbetweenLFandHFfields.

The design of the required screen depends on the type and strength of interference.

2.7.3.1 Screening in the LF-range

Materials of high permeability should be used for high levels of screening.

The measure of the effect of the screening in the LF range is the reduction factor. This is the ratio of the interfer-encevoltagewithascreentotheinterferencevoltagewithoutascreenandiscalculatedaccordingtothefollowingformula:

√ (RO + RE)2+ω(LM + LE)²

2.8.5 Sheathing materials

2.8.5.1 Polyvinylchloride (PVC)

As a result of its great value for money, PVC has been the mostwidelyusedsheathingmaterialforinstrumentationca-blesuptonow.Itsgreatabilitytobemodifiedallowsaselec-tiveadaptationofdesiredpropertieswhichmakesitsuitableforawiderangeofapplications.

PVCissuitedfor indoorandoutdoor layingindryandwetlocations, in conduits and for direct burial.

2.8.5.3 Polyethylene (PE)

PolyethylenesheathscanbemadeofLDPE,MDPEandHDPEmaterials(low-density,medium-densityandhigh-density polyethylene).

Thelackofflame-retardancyrestrictstheuseofpolyethylenesheathestodirectburiedcables.

As a result of its excellent mechanical properties such as its high tensile strength, its high resistance to abrasion, its hardness and itsextremelylowwaterabsorption,polyethyleneistheidealma-terial for this application.

Themaximumpermissible temperature is70°C forLDPEandMDPEand 80°C forHDPE.As a result of its outstanding re-sistancetolowtempeartures,cableinsulatedandsheathedwithpolyethylenecanbeinstalleddowntotemperaturesof-20°C.

The material becomes harder in proportion to the temperature, however.Thebendingresistanceofthecableincreases,withthecorresponding negative effects on handling during installation.

Polyethylene stands out through its high resistance to oil and chemicals. This and the mechanical properties increase from LDPE to HDPE.

Asmentionedabove,polyethyleneisnotflame-retardant.Whenignited,ittendstodripandburnonafterremovaloftheflame.Forthisreason,polyethylenesheathingshouldnotbeusedforindoorapplications.

PolyethylenemuststabilizedagainstUVusingsoot.Thisiswhytheoutersheathisblackincolour.



2.9 Chemical and/or environmental protection

If there is a risk of oils and chemicals affecting cables after installation, protective measures must be taken.

The grading of the possible effects on the cables is determined by the nature, condition and quantity of the ef-fecting medium, the duration of immersion and the temperature. In certain cases, plastic sheaths afford adequate protection, but more stringent measures must usually be taken in order to avoid negative effects on the long-term functioning of the cables involved.

Fordirectlyburiedcablesinparticular,theENstandardrecommendsthefollowingstructuralelements:

a)Leadsheath

Lead sheathes are the best protective measure against oils and chemicals. They are especially recommended wheresoilsareheavilypolluted.

Leadalloysheathedtypesshouldbeusedwheretherearehighmechanical loads due to vibration.

b) Multi layer sheath

Multilayer sheaths consist of a longitudinal plastic-coated alumin-ium foil, a layer of high-density polyethylene and an additional covering of polyamide. The aluminium foil is bonded inside the overlapandwiththeinnersurfaceoftheHDPEsheath.

Multilayer sheaths are an adequate alternative to lead sheaths foralargenumberofapplications.Comparedtocableswithleadsheaths, thosewithmultilayer sheathsare smaller and lighter,thusallowinglongerhandlinglengths.



2.10 Armour

Ifanarmourisspecified,itshouldbeselectedfromthetypeslistedbelow:

GalvanisedroundsteelwirearmourThe wire diameter depends on the cable diameter underarmour,min.diameter0.9mm

Galvanised flat steel wire armourThe minimum is wire diameter; this armour shall be used for cables, where the diameter under armour is >mm

Single or double layer of steel or brass tapesThe minimum thickness of a tape shall be 0.2 mm for steel and 0.075 for brass.

Metal braidThe minimum filling factor must be 0.57 (correspondingopticalcoverage.%),theminimumwirediameter0.mm.

The choice of the most suitable type of armour depends on the demands of installation and operation. In addition, localandlegalregulationsmustbecompliedwith.

Themostimportantselectioncriteriaare:

maximum expected tensile load and minimum required load-bearing capacity during installation and/or operation

maximum expected pressure and tensile load after laying

protection against attack by rodents

2) Following Standards are correspond-ing with the IEC-Standard 60584

♦ DIN 43722 ♦ BS 4937 part 20 + 30 ♦ NFC 32-424 ♦ JIS C 1610 section 1

Temperature ranges and tolerances to IEC 60584. part 3, July 1989. Colour coding for conductors and outer sheaths to IEC 60584. part 3, July 1989Besides the identification letter of the thermocou-ple type, extension cables are identified by „X“ compensating cables by „C“ The colour coding of BC, NX and NC is according to DIN 43722.

The identification system of ANSI does not differ between extension and compensating cables; all materials are marked „X“. For BX the temperature range and tolerance have to be agreed upon between end-user and manufacturer.
