XLPE power cable, which standard is better IEC 60502 or BS 5467
XLPE power cable, which standard is better IEC 60502 or BS 5467
(OP)
Good day to all
I am doing a project of adding a LV motor to the existing plant. The Power cable as per our specification is according to IEC 60502 and Contractor is offering BS 5467. Is there any technical difference in the construction of the cable between IEC and BS standards. One of my colleague says IEC rated cable insulation thick ness is more for the same rating compared to BS rated cable. Is it true. I request your valuable advise before accepting BS 5467 rated cable. Thanks in advance .. Ramesh

Just check the flammability, but from conctrete example

seems that IEC 60332-1-2 is fulfilled in both cases but the best way is to compare concrete 2 cables not standards in general.
