IEC 60245-1 Rubber insulated cables – Rated voltages up to and including 450/750 V – Part 1: General requirements

IEC 60245-1 specifies the general requirements for rubber-insulated cables with rated voltages up to and including 450/750 V. It defines the essential constructional, material, and testing standards to ensure the safety, performance, and durability of these cables. The standard covers topics such as conductor types, insulation and sheath materials, mechanical strength, electrical properties, and resistance to environmental factors like heat, moisture, and oil. It also establishes guidelines for marking, packaging, and permissible tolerances in cable dimensions.

This standard applies to cables used in fixed installations, appliances, and equipment requiring flexible connections. It emphasizes compliance with specific tests, including aging, mechanical impact, and electrical integrity, to ensure reliability in a wide range of applications. By providing a uniform framework, IEC 60245-1 ensures compatibility and quality in the manufacturing and application of rubber-insulated cables worldwide.
