Title (German)

Kabel und isolierte Leitungen - Durchlaufspannungsprüfung (IEC 62230:2006 + A1:2013); Deutsche Fassung EN 62230:2007 + A1:2014

Overview

The spark-test method in accordance with this standard is intended for the detection of defects in the insulation or sheathing layers of electric cables. For single-core cables with no outer metallic layer, the general process is accepted as being equivalent to subjecting samples of those cables to a voltage test in water. This standard specifies the operational requirements for the spark-test equipment, as well as the principal characteristics, functional parameters and calibration procedures for each type of test equipment. The responsible committee is DKE/UK 411.2 "Isolierte Starkstromleitungen" ("Insulated cables, wires and flexible cords for power installation") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
