2.3 Subcontracting
The following tests were subcontracted to DNV KEMA Cleaner Energy Generation:
- measurement of resistivity of semi conducting screens in accordance with clause 18.1.9
of IEC 60502-2
- non-electrical type tests in accordance with clause 19 of IEC 60502-2, with exception
of water penetration test
- verification of cable construction in accordance with clauses 5-14 of IEC 60502-2
Purpose of the test was to verify whether the material complies with the specified requirements.
A table with measurement uncertainties is enclosed in appendix A. Unless otherwise indicated in the
report, the measurement uncertainties of the results presented are as indicated in this table.
When reference is made to a standard and the date of issue is not stated, this applies to the latest
issue, including amendments, which have been officially published prior to the date of the tests.

3.1 General
For the tests with the cable at elevated temperature, a reference loop for temperature control of the
conductor was installed. The reference cable was cut from the total cable length submitted by the
client intended for the type test. This reference loop was installed close to the main loop in order to
create the same environmental conditions as for the test loop.
The heating currents in both the reference loop and the test loop were kept equal at all times, thus the
conductor temperature of the reference loop is representative for the conductor temperature of the test
loop. All three phases of both the reference loop and the test loop carried the same level three-phase
current. Annex A, method 1 of IEC 60840 was used as a guide.

Procedure
The test sample shall be bent around a test cylinder at ambient temperature for at least one complete
turn. It shall then be unwound and repeated, except that the sample shall be bent in the reverse
direction without axial rotation. This cycle of operation shall be carried out three times.
