FLEXIBLE CORDS

( First Revision )
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Indian
Sttindards Instltutiou on 30 April 1984, after the draft finalized by the
Power Cables Sectional
Commit&tie had been approved
by the
Electrotechnical Division Council.
0.2 This standard was first prepared in 1976 to cover the requirements for
copper and aluminium conductors appearing in various Indian Standards for
electric cables and cords. lhe present revision has been undertaken to
align with international developments as far as practicable.
0.3 Opportunity has also beeli utilised to take account of experience and
developments since the standard was initially published and to simplify
the standard so far as is compatible with technical and economic
considerations.
0.4 In addition to the quality of material used, the important features of a
conductor arc its maximum resistance and degree of flexibility and in this
standard control is effected by specifying the minimum number of wires or
maximum diameter of wires and the ma-ximum resistance.
0.5 In this standard, the conductors are divided into different cla%s. the
flexibil#ty of the conductor increasing with the class number. Jhe number
of classes of conductor has been reduced to four. There are two classes of
conductors for cables for fixed inst&llations; class 1 is for solid conductors
only and class 2 for stranded conductors. For flexible conductors also
there are two classes; as these correspond closely with classes 5 and 6 of
the previous edition, those class numbers hav:: been retained to preserve
continuity and avoid any confusion. Classes 3 and 4 have been omitted,
since they have had relatively little use aud classes 2 and 5 respectively are
3

1s; 8130- 1984

considered suitable for most of the applications

had been employed.

for which classes 3 and 4

0.6 In this reGsion, the number of different specified maximum resistance

values
for different t)prs of conductor
of the same
nominal
cross-sectioiial area have b:e!: reduced as fol!ows:
a) For classes 1 and 2, conductors of the same material and same
nnminal cross-sectional arts have the same specified maximum
resi*tance for both classes and for borh skgle and multicore
cable& and whether rhe conductors are circular or compacted
circular or shaped. Holyever, to avoid too large divergences from
previous values, the differences in specified rcsistanccs between
plain and tinned copper conductors have been retained.
b) Also in these two classes, the specified maximum resistance of
each nominal cross-sectional area of aluminium conductor in
the range up to and including 10 mm* is the same as for the
The object of
next smaller standard size of copper conductor.
this is to provide equivalent of resistance between rhe small
sizes of wiring cables with copper and aluminium conductors.
For 16 mm and above, separate resistances are retained between
copper and aluminium conductors.
c) The resistance values chosen for classes 1 and 2 are those which
were specified for class 2 in the previous edition for multicore
cables for the nominal cross-sectional areas from 25 mm up to
and including 400 mm and for the single core cables for the
nominal crdss-sectional
areas above 400 mm. For the sizes up
to 15 mm, for which the difference between the resistances of
class 1 and class 2 conductors in the previous edition were larger
than for the other sizes, the lower values specified for class 1 in
the previous edition for multicore cables have been adopted, in
order to avoid any large increase in resistance values.
d) For flexible copper conductors of classes 5 and 6, the resistance
values are the same and correspond to the resistance values for
multicore cables specified in the previous edition for class 5, the
difference between plain and tinned conductors again being
retained.
0.7 In this revision, flexible aluminium conductors for welding cables have
also been included.

IS: 8130 - l!$IM

0.8 As a result of the simplificatibn achieved by combining resistances of
single-and multicore cables and different forms of conductor into common
resistance values, the method of calculation of resistances included in the
previous edition is no longer strictly applicable and is now omitted. Also
the details about methods of various tests have been taken out from this
standard aud are now covered in a separate standard, to which reference
has been made at appropriate places.
0.9 While preparing this standard, assistance has been derived from IEC
Pub 228 ( 1978 ) Conductors of insulated cables issued bv the International
Electrotechnical Commission ( IEC ).
0.10 For the purpose of deciding whethera particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test. shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS : 2 - 1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded
off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this
standard.
