Overview
This European Standard provides guidance to help installers, cabling designers and end users to understand the characteristics of electric cables, with a rated voltage not exceeding 450/750 V or equivalent d.c. voltages, so that the cable can be selected, installed and operated in a safe way. It is applicable to those cable types that are specified in the EN 50525 series. The responsible committee is DKE/K 411 "Starkstromkabel und isolierte Starkstromleitungen" ("Cables, wires and flexible cords for power installations") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
