The electric utility industry requires transmission power cable systems to provide safe, cost effective and reliable long-term service. Other organizations have prepared valuable standards documents. This user specification provides additional methods to help ensure that power cable systems, including cables, joints, terminations, and sheath bonding systems, will meet the purchasing, quality assurance and performance needs of the electric utility industry.
AEIC CS9 describes the requirements for the design and supply of single core extruded insulation power cable systems, including their accessories, for rated voltages above 46 kV to 500 kV. It applies to cable systems with ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) insulation above 46 kV to 138 kV, and to cable systems with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation over the complete voltage range above 46 kV to 500 kV.
