AS/NZS 3560.1:2000 pdf – Electric cables-Cross-linkedpolyethylene insulated-Aerialbundled- For working voltages up to and including 0.6/1(1.2) kV Part 1: Aluminium conductors.
2.10 PREPARATION FOR DELIVERY
Every drum length of cable shall mccl the following requirements:
(a) Both cable ends shall be sealed to prevent the ingress of moisture to (he conductors.
(h) Both ends of cable shall be fitted with temporary binders to prevent the cores from separating.
(c) One end of the bundled cable shall be coloured red and the other green. When facing the cable end, that at which the rotational sequence of the cores (for 3-core cable— neu(ral, 1, 2 and for 4-core cable—neutral, I, 2, 3 is clockwise, shall he coloured red and the other end shall be coloured green.
The temporary binder in Item (h above may be coloured to satisfy this requirement.
(d) The cable shall he wound on the drum such that the red end is at the drum barrel and at least 0.5 m of cable at the inner end shall protrude and be secured to the drum.
(C) Unless otherwise specified (see Appendix A). cable drums shall be lagged. The inner end of cable projecting from the drum shall be protected.
2.11 MARKING OF I)RLJMS
The following information shall be legibly and durably marked on one flange of each drum
or on a label affixed thereto:
(a) Manufacturer’s name or registered trade name or mark.
(b) Manufacturer’s drum serial number.
(c) Length of cable and the start and finish numbers of the metre marking for the length (see Clause 2.5).
(d) Number and cross-sectional area of conductors.
(e) Gross mass of drum and cable.
(f) An arrow to indicate the direction of rotation of the drum which results in the cable being wound on to the drum.
(g) Year of manufacture of cable.
NOTE: Manutaciurers making a statement of compliance with this Australian/New Zealand Standard on a product. packaging, or promotional material related to that product arc adviscd to ensure that such compliance is capable of being verified.
3.1 GENERAL
Cables shall comply with the tests specified in Table 3.1. Tests 1—4 shall be performed as set out in Table 3.1. The purchaser may also require compliance with the Heat Radiation Test (see Test 5. Table 3.1)
3.2 TYPE TESTS
A type test includes all tests specified in Table 3.1. including the routine and sample tests.
The results of the tests shall he recorded and shall be available in the form of a test report.
A type test need not be performed on all conductor sizes. The following guidelines apply:
(a) A type lest on a four-core cable will also qualify two-core and three-core cables having the same core size.
(b) A type test on one size of cable will qualify cables that incorporate conductors of the same number of wires. e.g. a type test Ofl a 50 mm2. four-core cable qualifies all cables with core sizes of 16 mm2 to 50 mm2.
3.3 ROUTINE TESTS
All routine tests shall be performed as set out in Table 3.1.
3.4 SAMPLE TESTS
Sample tests shall be performed on specimens taken from a sample of completed core or cable as set out in Table 3.1 and Table 3.2 (see Appendix A).
