  FOREWORD
  This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Power
  Cables Sectional Committee had been approved by the Electrotechnical Division Council.
  This standard has been formulated to provide the users general guidance and standardize on the short-circuit
  ratings of metallic components of cables covered by the following:

  This standard covers the short-circuit rating of the following components of the cable:
      a)   Conductor,
      b)   Metallic screen,
      c)   Metallic sheath, and
      d)   Armour.
  Short-circuit rating have been calculated by the use of adiabatic method and limited to a time period of 5 s. In this
  method, the calculated short-circuit currents are on the safe side.
  While formulating this standard, assistance has been drawn from the following:
  International Standards                                    Title
  IEC 60986 (2008)            Short-circuit temperature limits of electric cables with rated voltages from 6 kV
                              (Um = 7,2 kV) up to 30 kV (Um = 36 kV)
  IEC 60724(2008)             Short-circuit temperature limits of electric cables with rated voltages of 1 kV
                              (Um = 1,2 kV) and 3 kV (Um = 3,6 kV)
  IEC 61443(2008)             Short-circuit temperature limits of electric cables with rated voltages above 30 kV
                              (Um = 36 kV)
  For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
  observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960
  ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)’. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off
  value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
