 BKI Vol IV (2006) Rules for Electrical Installations, Section 20 F

1. General
1.1Cables and wires must be flame retardant and self-
extinguishing.
1.2If cable-and wire types have passed a bundle fire test to IEC
publication 60332-3, category A/F, or to IEEE 45.-18.13.5,
the installation of fire stops is dispensed with when laying in
bundles (see also Section 12, D.14 and SOLAS, 1981
Amendments, Chapter II-1, Part D, Rule 45.5.2).
1.3Where fireproof cables shall be used, it is permitted to use
cables with retention of insulating capability in accordance
with IEC publication 60331(see also Section 12, D.15.).
1.4Accepted as standards for cables and wires are IEC
publications 60092-..., DIN 89 158/59/60 and JIS 3410.
Other standards and works specifications may be
recognized.
6
2. Conductor material and structure
2.1 Electrolytic copper with a resistivity not exceeding 17.241
ohm mm2/km at 20C shall be used as the material for the
conductors of cables and wires.
2.2 If the insulation consists of natural or synthetic rubber
vulcanized with sulphur, the individual conductor wires must
be tinned.
2.3 The conductors of movable wires must be finely stranded.
The conductors of permanently laid cables and wires shall be
made of stranded copper conductors (class 2 ) or flexible
stranded copper conductors (class 5 ). Unifilar (solid)
conductors up to 4 mm2 in cross-section are permitted for
the final subcircuits of room lighting and space heating
systems in the accommodation.

3. Materials and wall thickness of insulating covers

The materials used for insulation must be of standardized
types for which the maximum permissible temperatures at
the conductors during undisturbed operation is specified.
7
4. Protective coverings, sheaths and braids
4.1 Single-core cables must have a suitable separating layer of
filler material or foil over the core insulation.
4.2 Multicore cables must have a common core covering made
of filler material or must have a wrapping and sheath.
4.3 Only materials of a standardized type may be used for non-
metallic sheaths. In all cases the thermal stability of the
compounds used must correspond to that of the insulating
material.
4.4 Braids must be made of corrosion resistant material such as
copper or copper alloy or of material treated to prevent
corrosion, e.g. galvanized steel.
4.5 Outer metallic wire braids shall have a coating of protective
paint, which must be lead-free and flame retardant. The paint
shall be of sufficiently low viscosity when applied to enable it
to penetrate readily into the wire braid. When dry, it shall not
flake off when the cable is bent around a mandrel with a
diameter of 15 times that of the cable.

 Nominal Voltage of cables and wires, by which the construction
and the tests in respect of electrical characteristics are to be
refered. According to DIN VDE 0298 and IEC 183 the cables are
specified U0/U ,where :
U0 = cable nominal voltage between the conductor and the metal
covering or earth and
U = cable nominal voltage between the phase conductors, for 3-
phase
3regulations,
According toU IEC U0 the maximum permissible voltage
U0 is given in brackets. The identification is : U0/U (Um)
As the insulation of plastic insulated cables are measured with a
nominal voltage U0/U = 0,6/1 kV and all radial field cables for the
voltage U0, these cables are suitable for installation :
in single phase systems, in which the both phase conductors
are insulated, with nominal voltage UN = 2 U0
in single phase systems, in which one phase conductor is
earthed, with the nominal voltage UN = U0

16
Operating voltage
Voltage between conductors of a power system or
between a conductor and earth under specified condition
in a given time during an undisturbed operation.
Cables with U0/U 0,6/1 kV are suitable for 3-phase,
single phase and DC installations, where the maximum
permanently permissible operating voltage does not
exceed the rated voltage of the cable by more than :
- 10% for wiring and flexible cables with rated voltage
U0/U 450/750 V
- 20% for wiring and flexible cables with rated voltage
U0/U = 0,6/1 kV

7. Tests
7.1 Type tests shall be carried out in accordance with the
relevant standards in the manufacturer's works and in the
presence of the Surveyor to the Head Office. The scope of
the tests shall be agreed by BKI.
7.2 If not specified in the standards, the following tests shall

Ozone tests on cable sheaths whose basic material consists
of natural- or synthetic rubber. Test conditions shall be :
Ozone concentration : 250 - 300 ppm

The test shall be carried out in accordance with IEC
publication 60811-2-1. Other equivalent test methods
maybe agreed by BKI. The test is passed satisfactory if no
cracks will be discovered visible to the naked eye.
27
 7.3 Individual tests on non-type-tested cables and wires
shall be performed in the manufacturer's works in the
presence of the Surveyor. The scope of the tests shall
be agreed with BKI in advance.

The following tests shall be carried out at least :
