Description / Abstract:
This part of IEC/IEEE 62582 contains methods for condition monitoring of organic and polymeric materials in instrumentation and control cables using insulation resistance measurements in the detail necessary to produce accurate and reproducible results during simulated accident conditions. It includes the requirements for the measurement system and conditions, and the reporting of the measurement results.
NOTE: Measurement of insulation resistance during simulated accident conditions (e.g. LOCA) with the aims of determining the lowest value during the accident in order to assess cable performance involves special requirements given in this standard. Methods for measurement under stable (non -accident) conditions are available in other international standards, e.g., IEC 62631-3-3.
The different parts of IEC/IEEE 62582 series are measurement standards, primarily for use in the management of ageing in initial qualification and after installation. Part 1 of IEC/IEEE 62582 includes requirements for the application of the other parts of IEC/IEEE 62582 and some elements that are common to all methods. Information on the role of condition monitoring in qualification of equipment important to safety is found in IEC/IEEE 60780-323.
