Section III Covered and Insulated Wire and Cable Chapter 8 Insulation and Related Cable Components This chapter describes in further detail the Insulation and coverings mentioned previously and also describes the jackets, shields, sheaths, and other materials used in the assembly of a Cable . An explanation of some of the dielec tric terms is in Appendix 8A. Standards are specifications for Cable Insulation and coverings are developed and set forth in the publications of ASTM, Underwriters Laboratories, Inc, (UL), and Insulated Cable Engineers Association (ICEA), and oth ers, This chapter provides summary data and the reader is advised to consult the referenced standards for further detail. Selection of insulating and other materials that sur round the conductors is based on a number of performance factors: 1. Electrical: Dielectric constant; Insulation power factor; Insulation resistance (ac and I-minute de); charg ing current; arc resistance; tracking susceptibility; ozone resistance.
