IS 4289 : Part 2 : 2000 Flexible Cables for Lifts and Other Flexible Connections - Specification - Part 2 : PVC Insulated Circular Cables

1 Scope

1.1 This standard (Part 2) covers the requirements and tests forcircular, PVC insulated, overall braided and PVC sheathed liftcables of rated voltages up to and including 1 100 V.

1.2 These cables are suitable for use, where the combination ofambient temperature and temperature rise due to load, results in asteady conductor temperature not exceeding 70�C.

1.3 Cables covered in this standard are intended forinstallation where the freely suspended length does not exceed 35m, and the speed of travel does not exceed the limits as given inthe relevant Indian Standards on Lifts. The requirements of cablesoutside these limits is a matter of negotiation between thepurchaser and the manufacturer.
