IEEE 383-2023

This standard provides general requirements and methods for qualifying electric cables, and splices for nuclear facilities. Cable, and splices within or integral to other devices (e.g., instruments, panels, motors) should be qualified using the requirements in the applicable device standard or IEEE/IEC Std 60780-323™:2016. However, this standard’s requirements may be applied to the cable and splices within these devices. For qualification of fiber optic cable refer to IEEE Std 1682™-2011.

The purpose of this standard is to provide standard methodology for the implementation of IEEE/IEC Std 60780-323:2016 as it pertains to the qualification of electrical cables and splices.

Revision Standard - Active. General requirements and methods for qualifying electric cables, and splices for nuclear facilities are provided in this standard. Cable, wire, and splices within or integral to other devices (e.g., instruments, panels, motors) should be qualified using the requirements in the applicable device standard or IEEE/IEC Std 60780-323™:2016. However, the requirements set in this standard may be applied to the cable and splices within these devices. For qualification of fiber optic cable, refer to IEEE Std 1682™.
