This translation is based on the original Japanese

industrial standards and revised by the Minister of

economy, trade and industry and the Minister of land,

infrastructure, transport and tourism. The Japanese

Industrial Standards Committee adopted its

deliberations.Japan wire and cable manufacturers

association and Japan Standards Association proposed to

revise Japan's industrial standards. They attached

importance to the drafting of the draft, requiring that the

draft should be based on Article 12, Article 1 of the

industrial standardization law and be applicable to the

revised Article 14.

Therefore, JIS C 3410:1999 has been replaced by this

standard, and can be retired.

JIS is protected by copyright law.

It is worth noting that some parts of the standard may

conflict with patent rights when patent applications are


disclosed to the public, or when the rights of utility

models or utility models applying for registration are

disclosed to people with technical knowledge.The Minister

concerned and the Japanese Industrial Standards Committee

will not be responsible for the appraisal of the patent

right after the application for patent is made public, or

when the right of the utility model or the application for

registration of the utility model is made public to the

people who have already expressed their technical

knowledge.

Cables and cords for marine electrical appliances


Introduction

This Japanese industrial standard is based on the third


edition of IEC 60092-351 published in 2004, the second

edition of IEC 60092-353 published in 1995 and the first

edition of its revision in 2001, the second edition of IEC

60092-354 published in 2003, the first edition of IEC

60092-359 published in 1987, the first edition of its

revision in 1994, the second edition of its revision in

1999 and the second edition of IEC 60092-376 published in

2003.The technical content of the standards mentioned above

has been modified according to the Japanese industrial

standards.This is to prepare a standard that can reflect

the real situation of ship cables and flexible wires in

this country.The explanation of the modification is listed

in Appendix JD.

The continuous sideline or dotted part, and the

contents of annex JA, annex JB and annex JC are not given

in the corresponding international standards.

1 Scope

This standard covers cables, flexible wires and

insulating wires for power equipment on board ships.

Note: this standard is consistent with the international

mark as follows:

IEC 60092-351:2004 marine electrical equipment - Part 351:


Insulation for shipboard and offshore components, power, control,

instrumentation, electrical communications and data cables

IEC 60092-353:1995 marine electrical equipment - Part 353: single

core or multi-core non radiation power cables with extruded solid

insulation for rated voltages of 1 kV and 3 kV, revision 1:2001

IEC 60092-354:2003 marine electrical equipment - Part 354:

extruded solid insulated single and three core power cables for rated

voltages from 6kV (UM = 7.2kV) to 30KV (UM = 36kV)

IEC 60092-359:1987 marine electrical equipment - Part 359:

sheathing materials for marine electric and telecommunication cables,

revision 1:1994 and revision 2:1999

IEC 60092-376:2003 marine electrical equipment - Part 376: 150 /

250V (300V) cables for control and instrumentation equipment circuits

(general evaluation: MOD)

According to ISO / IEC guideline 21-1, the similarity

between JIS and corresponding international standards marks

IDT (same), mod (modified) and NEQ (unequal).

b) The finished cable sample shall be heated by one of the methods

described below; in either method, the conductor temperature shall be


determined by measuring the conductor resistance or measuring the water

bath, oven or shielding surface with a thermometer.The sample shall be

placed in a liquid tank or oven, or the heating current shall be shielded by

metal insulation.

c) At the temperature determined in B), Tan δ is measured in AC voltage

of 2KV. http://www.chinathermocouple.com

d) The measured value shall not exceed the corresponding value in Table

12.

7.14 Thermal cycle test plus partial discharge test

    The test requirements for thermal cycle plus partial

discharge are as follows.

a) This test shall be carried out on finished cable samples 10 to 15 m

long.

b) When passing an alternating current through a conductor, the sample

shall be heated to a stable temperature of 10 ° C, which exceeds the

maximum rated temperature of the insulation in general.

For multicore cables, the heating current shall pass

through all conductors.


The heating current shall be maintained for at least 2H

and cooled naturally in air for at least 4H.

The heating current load time and natural cooling time

constitute a cycle.This experiment should be repeated in

three complete cycles.

c) After three cycles, the sample shall be subjected to partial discharge

test as required. http://www.tiankangcable.com/marine-cable.html

7.15 Power frequency voltage test after withstand voltage

impact

The test requirements of power frequency voltage after

withstand voltage impact are as follows.

a) This test shall be carried out on finished cable samples 10 to 15 m

long.

b) This test shall be carried out above the maximum rated working

temperature of the insulation, i.e. conductor temperature of 5 ° C.

c) The corresponding http://www.tksiliconerubbercable.com value of the

cable withstanding 10 positive and 10 negative voltage shocks is shown

in table 13.
Table 13 withstand voltage impact
Setting: kV
  Rated voltage of wire U0
3.6 6.0
Test voltage (peak) 60 75

d) After the test of B) and C), the cable sample shall be subject to power
frequency voltage test at room temperature for 15min (on any one wire

core).
