IEEE 690-1984

This standard provides direction for the design and installation of safety related electrical cable systems, including associated circuits, in nuclear power generating stations. Also provided is guidance for the design and installation of those nonsafety related cable systems that may affect the function of safety related systems.

The purpose of this standard is to identify existing standards and to establish requirements pertaining to safety related cable systems in nuclear power generating stations. Solutions are recommended for areas of concern such as fire protection, raceways, separation, cable performance requirements, and installation acceptance testing and documentation.

New IEEE Standard - Superseded. Direction for the design and installation of safety-related electrical cable systems, including associated circuits, in nuclear power generating stations is provided. Existing standards are identified and guidance is provided for the design and installation of those non-safety-related cable systems that may affect the function of safety-related systems. Solutions are recommended for areas of concern such as fire protection, raceways, separation, cable performance requirements, and installation acceptance testing and documentation.
