INSTRUMENTATION CABLES

INTRODUCTION
In the world of cables for industrial applications, INSTRUMENTATION CABLES certainly form one of the most specialized product families. The existing national and international cable standards only present partial solutions, often not sufficient to design an INSTRUMENTATION CABLE which meets customers specific expectations and withstands the often rude conditions on site. A combination of expertise in special materials, diversified production facilities and a long lasting experience with national and international cable standards allow KABELWERK EUPEN to offer INSTRUMENTATION CABLES, taylored to customers specific requirements, but solidely based on internationally recognized standards. KABELWERK EUPEN also has the appropriate human ressources and technical facilities to provide a full PROJECT SUPPORT: * TECHNICAL SUPPORT during cable design stage * Large IN-HOUSE TESTING FACILITIES * COMMERCIAL STAFF experienced in project handling

CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS

INSTRUMENTATION CABLES

1) APPLICABLE STANDARDS
- Cable constructions & properties can be based on the following standards: IEC BS VDE NF 502 5308 0815/0816 M87-202

- The behaviour of the cable when affected by fire can be defined according to the following standards:
Scope IEC BS VDE

a) Circuit integrity 3 hours b) Fire retardance test on cable bundles c) Flame retardance test on single cables or single insulated cores d) Smoke density test e) Corrosivity of combustion gases (halogen content ...)

4) INSULATION WALL-THICKNESS & ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES

The insulation wall thickness is selected acc. to specified parameters such as: * Service Voltage * Mutual capacitance - PVC-Insulation : Overall screened: Individual and overall screened: - PE / XLPE Insulation : Overall screened: Indiv. and overall screened 0,5 - 1 mm2: Indiv. and overall screened 1,5 - 2,5 mm2: Our standard values are as follows:

5) SCREENING
Screenings are applied to prevent or reduce the following interferences: * Internal interferences caused by neighbouring line-circuits inside the cable * External interferences caused by electric devices, motors, machineries or power cables Hereafter the most common screening constructions: * (St) * (C) * (St)C * (CuB) : : : : Aluminium laminated synthetic foil in contact with a tinned copper drain wire Tinned copper wire braid Aluminium foil + Tinned copper wire braid Copper tape

6) CABLING
Presentation and abbreviations for cabling elements: - A CORE consisting of one insulated conductor - A PAIR consisting of 2 stranded cores froming a loop - A TRIPLE consisting of 3 stranded cores - A STAR-QUAD consisting of 4 stranded cores, 2 diametrically opposed cores forming a loop INDIVIDUALLY SCREENED cabling elements are expressed as follows: * PIMF * TIMF * QIMF : : : PAIR In Metal Foil TRIPLE In Metal Foil QUAD In Metal Foil

Standard IDENTIFICATION of cabling elements (others on request): a) Unscreened or overall screened cables: - CORE - PAIR - TRIPLE - QUAD : : : : WHITE, each core continuously numbered BLACK / WHITE, each core numbered BLACK / WHITE / RED, each core numbered BLACK / WHITE / RED / BROWN, 2 diametrically opposed cores numbered with the same number

b) Individually sreened cabling elements: - Colour code as a) - Identification of each individually screened cabling element by means of a numbered tape The stranding elements need to be balanced-out in order to reduce crosstalk, therefore Pairs, Triples and Quads are twisted with a different pitch.

7) LAYING-UP OF CABLING ELEMENTS

In most of the cases, cables are laid-up in concentric LAYERS. For certain cable types, the cabling elements are laid-up in BUNDLES Bd. The bundles can be identified for example by means of a numbered tape Bd Z or by SIMATIC ring-coding Bd Si.

8) METALLIC BARRIER AGAINST AGGRESSIVE LIQUIDS

When used in Petrochemical Installations, cables often require an additional metallic covering to make the cable transversally tight against aggressive liquids or polluted water, in case the outer-sheath would be damaged. *K * (L) : : - Lead Alloy E sheath acc. to EEMUA 133 or - Kb-Pb Lead Alloy sheath acc. to VDE - Aluminium laminated sheath (copolymer-coated aluminium tape laminated to PE outer sheath)
