Asbestos, being a mineral fibre, is prac tically incombustible and indestructible- The name "asbestos" meaning "uncon sumed" was coined from the use of this material for the wicks of the perpetual lamps in the ancient Greek temples. In lact, an ancient method of cleaning fabrics made from asbestos was to place them in a flame and burn out the materials soiling the fabric. Asbestos provides a truly heat-resisting insulation suitable for use at temperatures beyond the limits allowable for other stand ard forms of insulation. In most cable applications the asbestos is used in combination with varnished cloth. Varnished cloth provides a flexible insulation of high dielectric strength to reinforce the normal heat-resisting charac teristics of asbestos. As a rule, the varnished cloth tapes are applied as a layer between saturated lay ers of felted asbestos. ' All-asbestos and asbestos-varnished cam- brie insulated wires and cables manufac tured by General Cable comply with the Standards of the National Electrical Manu facturers Association for such cables. The iollowing maximum operating tem peratures are recommended for this class of insulation, in accordance with these Standards: -- GENERAI All-Asbestos (Unimpregnated, Type Af where no moisture is present.................................. 200C. All-Asbestos (Impregnated, Type AT) where moisture is present.................................. 125C. Asbestos-Varnished Cambric: (a) with Asbestos Braid (Type AVA) or Lead Sheath (Type AVL) . . 110C. (b) with Cotton Braid (Type AVB)..............................90C. Synthetic-Asbestos with Cotton Braid (Type SNA) .... 90C. Where operating potential exceeds 600 volts, the permissible temperature should be reduced by 3E degrees, where E equals the operating voltage between conductors in kilovolts.

Stranded conductors {Power Cables) are normally used as circuit wiring in ash pits and ash pit alleys, around soaking pits, for furnaces, ovens, lehrs, tenter frames, steam tunnels, major boiler room circuits and similar high temperature applications. Braid finished constructions are suitable for general conduit wiring, except where condensation or infiltration provides a moisture hazard. Lead sheaths should be specified for moist conditions. ASBESTO VARNISH] CAMBRIC POWER CABLES and Solid conductors (Boiler Room Wires) are normally used in general lighting and con trol circuits, around ovens, furnaces, lehrs, tenter frames, boiler rooms, soaking pits and as elevator and locomotive control panel wiring. This type is also used as switchboard wire, where an overall as bestos braid is required. Both constructions are approved by Underwriters' Laboratories as Type AVAor AVL wires. Both types may be handled and pulled into conduit by methods similar to those used with other standard wire and cable constructions. Multi-conductor con structions are also available, as required. The maximum recommended operating temperature is 110SC.

The rated voltages specified on these tables are phase to phase voltages for either grounded or ungrounded systems. These standards do not cover multi conductor power cable or other special constructions. CONSTRUCTION 2-- Conductors: Unless otherwise spec ified, solid conductors-and wires making up stranded conductors shall be of soft copper having, before stranding, physical charac teristics in accordance with the following specifications: (a) ASA "Specifications for Soft or An nealed Copper Wire" C8b2, or latest revi sion (for bare copper), or (b) ASA "Specifications for Tinned Soft or Annealed Copper Wire" for Rubber In sulation C8bl, or latest revision (for tinned wire). The conductor shall be solid or stranded as indicated in each table for the particular type of wire involved--or as specified on order. INSULATION 3-- Asbestos: The asbestos insulation shall consist of best quality, iong-fibre, chrysotile asbestos commercially free from foreign particles of dirt, cotton seed and metallic oxides. It shall be well carded to prevent lumps and irregularities in the finished cable. The asbestos insulation after extraction of impregnating compound shall contain not less than 80 per cent by weight of as bestos. The total iron content shall not ex ceed 4 per cent by weight of the asbestos and the magnetic iron content shall not exceed 2 per cent by weight of the asbestos. The wall of felted asbestos insulation shall be applied to form a smooth wall of uniform thickness as specified in the tables, with the conductor well centered. It shall be thoroughly dried and completely satu rated with a flame-resisting and heatresisting or moisture-resisting compound as specified in the tables. This compound shall consist of suitable high-grade in gredients and shall retain its initial quali ties during the normal life of the cable. The compound shall develop no injurious chemical action within itself or with any' component parts of the completed coble. 4-- Varnished. Cloth: The varnished cambric insulation where used in these wires and cables shall consist of a highgrade varnished cloth substantially free from blisters or other imperfections, applied with a lubricating compound between layers. It shall comply in all respects with the requirements for varnished cloth outlined in existing NEMA standards for Varnished Cambric Insulated Cables. 5--Synthetic Insulation : Synthetic insulation where used shall be a thermo plastic compound of the polyvinyl chloride type, or a copolymer of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate, or o compound ol similar characteristics. It shall be applied so as to provide a continuous solid wall ot insula tion. General requirements are such that the finished wire or cable shai! meet all c: the performance tests specified herein for that type. . revised ALL-ASBESTOS AND ASBESTOS-VARNISHED . .

PHYSICAL 17--Measurement of Dimensional Requirements: Inspection for dimen sional requirements shall consist of four measurements, two to be made near each end of the sample, of which the average shall comply with the requirements given below. The measurements of cable % in. O-D. and smaller shall be made with a ratchet micrometer having Y in. diameter faces. For cable larger than % in. O.D. the measurement shall be made with a circumference tape. Diameter determina tions when made with the micrometer shall be the average of 2 measurements made at right angles to each other. The average diameter over any component layer of the insulation and braid shall not vary more than 5 per cent from the theoretical diam eter over that layer based on the nominal wall thicknesses shown in the tables. 18-- Resistance to Flame: All of these wires and cables shah have such .'.re resisting properties that the test specimens will not convey flame, nor continue to burn for more than one minute after five fifteensecond applications of a standard test flame, the period between applications of the flame being fifteen seconds. NOTE: Compliance of the wire with the requirements of the preceding paragraph shall be determined with the apparatus and according to the method described in Sections 19 and 20. For dielectric test after flame test see Section 15. 19-- Apparatus for Testing Flameretarding Properties: The apparatus for this test consists of a test chamber of sheet metal 12 inche^ wide, 14 inches deep, and 24 inches high, open at top and front and provided with means for supporting the test sample in a vertical position; a Tirrill burner having a bore of inch and a length of 4 inches above the primary air inlets; a 20-degree angle block for support ing the burner; o supply of ordinary illumi nating gas at normal pressure; a watch or clock with a hand which makes one com plete revolution each minute; and flame indicators consisting of strips of gummed Kraft paper, 5 mils in nominal thickness and inch width. 20-- Method of Testing Flameretarding Properties: The test is made in a room from which all drafts are ex cluded. An 18-inch sample of wire is sup ported from the upper end in the test chamber and is held in a vertical position by a iour-pound weight attached to the lower end of the wire. A paper indicator is applied to the sample so that the lower edge is 30 inches above the point to which the flame is to be applied. The indicator is wrapped once around the sample with the gummed side toward the conductor and the ends pasted evenly together and pro jecting Y inch away from the wire on the opposite side of the wire to that to which the flame is to be applied. The height of the flame with the burner vertical is adjusted to 5 inches with an revised PAGE 32 Junt. 19<2 ALL-ASBESTOS AND ASBESTOS-VARNISHED . .

The burner is then tilted to an angle of 20 degrees irom vertical and the flame ap plied to the sample so that the tip of the inner blue cone touches the sample at a point approximately 3 inches above its lower end. The side of the flame is brought up to the sample in such a manner that the vertical plane through the axis oi the burner is perpendicular to the line o: ap proach. The flame is applied for 15 seconds and then removed for 15 seconds. This process is repeated four times. If more than 25 per cent of the extended portion of the indicator is burned, the wire is considered to have conveyed flame.

The voltage shall be raised from initial applica tion of 3000 volts at a rate of approxi mately 1000 volts per second. 22-- Leakage Resistance Test: The leakage resistance between metal foil bands placed two inches apart as measured with o voltage of approximately 200 volts d-c on c sample immediately after exposure for 16 hours at a temperature of not less than 25C. to an atmosphere of moisture in a bell far in which is placed an open vessel oi water, shall not be less than one megohm per inch length per inch of circumference. 23-- Bend--Dielectric Test: On sizes 8 A.W.G.and smaller a 15-mch sample shall be bent 90 degrees around a mandrel hav ing the same diameter as the wire. Two bends in the same plane shall be made 2 inches apart, only sufficient pressure being applied to prevent the sample from slip ping due to its own weight. A sample subjected to this test shall show no rupture of the covering and it shall not break down at less than 5000 volts, 60 cycles, applied between the conductor and foil wrapped tightly around the braid of the bent sample at the point of the bend (fine filings or shot may be-used in place of wrapping the sample in metal foil). The voltage shall be raised from initial appli cation oi 3000 volts at a rate of approxi mately 1000 per second. SAMPLING 24--Each of the required tests shall be made on one sample of each size and type of wire from each lot of 10,000 feet or frac tion thereof unless otherwise specified in the tables, li a sample fails to meet any of the pre scribed requirements, two additional sam ples shall be taken from the same length. If either of these samples fail, the length may be rejected. If any of the lengths fail to meet any of the requirements, samples shall be taken from each length or reel of the lot and tested for this particular require ment to determine acceptance of each reel.
