DIN VDE 0276 Description
DIN VDE 0276 is the widely used German standard for cables with extruded insulation used in power distribution systems.This standard covers a significant percentage of power cables used across the European continent. It covers the various cable construction and test methods, and it consists of the following parts:
| DIN VDE 0276 | Scope |
| Part 1 | General requirements |
| Part 10-C | Construction, dimensions and test requirements of single-core power cables with XLPE-insulation and with PE-sheath or PVC-sheath for rated voltage of 6/10 kV, 12/20 kV and 18/30 kV and of three-core power cables with XLPE-insulation and with PE-sheath or PVC-sheath for rated voltage of 6/10 kV for fixed installations |
| Part 603 | Distribution cables of nominal voltages 0.6/1kV |
| Part 604 | Power cables of nominal voltages 0.6/1kV with special fire performance for use in power stations |
| Part 604 & 605 | Additional test methods |
| Part 620 | Distribution cables of nominal voltages 3.6 to 20.8/36kV |
| Part 1000 | Current carrying capacity, general, conversion factors |
| Part 1001 | Tests on cables laid with nominal voltages 6/10kV, 12/20kV and 18/30kV with PVC insulation, VPE insulation or paper insulation |
