1、Designation:D222017Standard Specification forPoly(Vinyl Chloride)Insulation for Wire and Cable,75COperation1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2220;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last re
2、vision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers a thermoplastic insulation ofpoly(vinyl chloride)or the copolymer of vinyl chloride andvinyl acetate.1.
3、2 This insulation is recommended for use in power andcontrol circuits at temperatures not higher than 75C.At athickness of 15 mils(0.38 mm),application is limited tovoltage ratings below 300 V,and to dry locations.At athickness of 30 mils,the application range is widened to dry orwet applications,an
4、d to a voltage rating of 600 V.1.3 In many instances the insulation material cannot betested unless it has been formed around a conductor or cable.Therefore,tests are done on insulated wire or cable in thisspecification solely to determine the relevant property of theinsulation material and not to t
5、est the conductor or completedcable.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.4.1 In come cases(including the title),temperatu
