Covered conductors definition
Covered conductors means a longitudinally water blocked conductor having UV- and tracking resistant properties that meets the requirement of relevant Indian Standards and where relevant Indian standards are not available, ANSI/ICEA S-70-547-2007 with leakage current of less than 1 milliamp on the surface, in line with EN 50397-1 standard shall be followed.
Covered conductors means a conductor surrounded by a covering made of insulating material as protection against accidental contacts with other covered conductors and with grounded parts such as tree branches, etc. In comparison with insulated conductors, this covering has reduced properties, but is sufficient to withstand the phase-to-earth voltage temporarily.
