CROSS-LINKED POLYETHYLENE INSULATED

PART
3 FOR WORKING VOLTAGES FROM 66 kV UP TO AND INCLUDING 220 kV
(First Reprint SEPTEMBER 1996 )
Q BIS 1993
FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Part 3 1 was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft
finalized by the Power Cables Sectional Committee had been approved by the Electrotechnical
Division Council.
Other two parts of this series of Indian Standards cover crosslinked polyethylene insulated
thermoplastic sheathed cables of following voltage grades:
Part 1 For working voltages up to and including 1 100 V
Part 2 .For working voltages from 3’3 kV up to and including 33 kV
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the
final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance
with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)‘. The number of significant
places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this
standard.
