Standards Development
This document covers Category 1 insulating ropes that are utilized during Live Working (LW) procedures in contact with parts of installations operating at voltages up to and including 800 kV AC. They shall already meet other specifications relating to mechanical strength, physical and construction properties. Test acceptance criteria in this document are applicable for insulating ropes with a diameter of 35 mm or less. Insulating ropes with larger diameters may require increased leakage current criteria and engineering analysis for a particular application.
At the present time, insulating rope options include but are not limited to various styles, materials, and construction, including extruded thermoplastic jacket ropes with sealed ends and fibre with overlay/wax coating and additives. Informative Annex A provides guidance for testing ropes intended for use in rain conditions.
This document covers in-service care and periodic testing. The arc flash properties of the insulating rope are not evaluated in this document but should be given consideration.
An acceptance test may be arranged between a manufacturer and the end user in order to demonstrate that the product meets the specifications and requirements of this document.
The scope of this document does not presently include DC testing.
