IEEE Draft Recommended Practice for Applicability of Methods for the Evaluation of Low-Voltage and Medium-Voltage Installed Cable Systems in Nuclear Facilities
Abstract
This document provides guidance for the application of test methods to evaluate cable systems installed in nuclear facilities. This recommended practice covers low voltage (2000 V or less) and medium voltage (2001 V to 46 000 V) cable systems, both shielded and non-shielded cable types.Scope
This document provides guidance for the application of test methods to evaluate cable systems installed in nuclear facilities, which include fission commercial reactors, medical isotope reactors, experimental reactors, in addition to nuclear power plants. This recommended practice covers low-voltage (2000 V and below) and medium-voltage (2001 V to 46 000 V) cable systems, both shielded and non-shielded cable types.
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance when applying test methods to detect and quantify degradation, manufacturing defects, and installation issues of cable systems. It is not intended to encompass all possible test methods, nor is it intended to exclude test methods which are not discussed.
