BS EN 50525-2-83:2011

This standard BS EN 50525-2-83:2011 Electric cables. Low voltage energy cables of rated voltages up to and including 450/750 V (U0/U) is classified in these ICS categories:

• 29.060.20 Cables

This European Standard applies to multicore cables insulated and sheathed with heat resistant crosslinked silicone rubber. Types with or without an overall textile braid, and with or without a strain-bearing element, are included.

The cables are of rated voltages U₀/U 300/500 V.

The cables are intended for use within high temperature zones, either:

- in fixed installations with mechanical protection (cables to 4.1); or

- for flexible use under low mechanical stress (cables to 4.2).

The maximum conductor operating temperature for each of the cables in this standard is 180 °C.

NOTE HD 516 contains extensive guidance on the safe use of cables in this standard.

This EN 50525-2-83 should be read in conjunction with EN 50525-1, which specifies general requirements.
