The Institute of Standardization of Bosnia and Herzegovina, through its Technical Committee BAS/TC 30, Electric cables, adopted by translation method the second edition of BAS IEC 61443: 2018, Short-circuit temperature limits of electrical cables with rated voltages above 30 kV (Um = 36 kV) which is a translation of the English version of the international standard IEC 61443: 2001 and its amendment BAS IEC 61443/A1: 2010, Short-circuit temperature limits of electrical cables with rated voltages above 30 kV (Um = 36 kV).

BAS IEC 61443: 2018 gives guidance on the short-circuit maximum temperature limits of electric cables having rated voltages above 30 kV (Um = 36 kV) up to the voltage limits given in IEC 60141 and IEC 62067, with regard to the following:

• Insulating materials;
• Oversheath and bedding materials;
• Conductor and metallic sheath materials and methods of connection.

 

The design of accessories and the influence of the installation conditions on the temperature limits are taken into consideration, as well as the calculation of the permissible short-circuit current.

The original texts of European standards have been prepared by the Technical Committee IEC/TC 20, Electric cables, whose secretariat is held by the German standardization body (DIN).
