The cables are of rated voltages Uy/U up to and including 450/750 V. The cables are intended for fixed wiring applications. NOTE 1 Cables rated 450/760 V may be used at 600/1 090 V when this cable is used in fixed installations with ‘mechanical protection, within switchgear and control gear - see HD 516. The maximum conductor operating temperatures for the cables in this standard are 70 °C (V types) and 90 °C (V2 types) NOTE 2 HD 516 contains extensive guidance on the safe use of cables in this standard, This EN 50525-2-31 should be read in conjunction with EN 50525-1, which specifies general requirements. i 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
