Abstract
This document specifies a method of assessing the behaviour of protection sleeves or conduits subject to an external electric arc at 115 Vac, 400 Hz. This document is used in conjunction with EN 605-100. The primary aim of this test is to produce, in a controlled fashion, electric arcs at the immediate vicinity of a protection sleeve or conduit and to examine possible consequences on the surrounding external cables bundle which are adjacent from this protection, and are supposed to be maintained in a safe condition. These electric arcs are representative of those, which may occur in service when a typical cable bundle is severely damaged. In order to optimize thickness and mass of such protection, it is necessary to associate a nominal current limit In to each sleeves or conduits construction. Two levels of prospective fault current are specified for all protection sizes.
