IEC 60986:2000

Gives guidance on the short-circuit maximum temperature limits of electric cables having rated voltages from 6 kV (Um = 7,2 kV) up to 30 kV (Um = 36 kV), with regard to the following:
- insulating materials;
- oversheath and bedding materials;
- conductor and metallic sheath materials and methods of connection.
The design of accessories and the influence of the installation conditions on the temperature limits are taken into consideration.
