Description / Abstract:
This standard provides cable and/or system requirements and
methods for performing circuit integrity tests on energized low
voltage power, control, and instrumentation cables at temperatures
and heat fluxes simulating a hydrocarbon pool fire.
Purpose
The purpose of the document is to provide circuit integrity test
methodology and performance requirements for cables and/or cable
systems which may be subjected to a hydrocarbon pool fire. This
protocol may be useful when selecting cables for applications where
circuit integrity is critical to plant shutdown under hydrocarbon
fire conditions. It can also be a useful tool in the development of
technology to design cables that maintain circuit integrity during
such a fire.
