53 FOREWORD
54 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
55 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
56 international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
57 this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
58 Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as IEC
59 Publication(s)). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
60 in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
61 governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
62 with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
63 agreement between the two organizations.
64 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
65 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
66 interested IEC National Committees.
67 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
68 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
69 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
70 misinterpretation by any end user.
71 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
72 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
73 between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
74 the latter.
75 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
76 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
77 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
78 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
79 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
80 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
81 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
82 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
83 Publications.
84 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
85 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
86 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
87 patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

116 1 Scope
117 This International Standard IEC 62893 specifies construction, dimensions and test
118 requirements for cables with extruded insulation and sheath having a voltage rating of up to
119 and including 0,6/1 kV a.c. or up to and including 1500 V d.c. for flexible applications under
120 harsh condition for the power supply between the electricity supply point of the charging
121 station and the electric vehicle (EV).
122 The EV charging cable is intended to supply power and, if needed, communication (for details
123 see IEC 62196 series and IEC 61851-1) to an EV or plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV). The
124 charging cables are applicable for charging modes 1-4 of IEC 61851-1. Ordinary duty cables
125 with rated voltage 300/500 V are only permitted for charging mode 1 of IEC 61851-1.Maximum
126 conductor temperature for the cables in this Standard is 90 C.
127 The particular types of cables are specified in IEC 62893-3 (modes 1-3 for a.c. charging) and
128 IEC 62893-4 (mode 4 for d.c. charging).
129 NOTE: IEC 62893-4 is under development

225 5 Rated voltage
226 The rated voltage of a cable is the reference voltage for which the cable is designed.
227 The rated voltage in an alternating current system, is expressed by the combination of two
228 values U 0 /U, expressed in volts, where:
229 a) U 0 is the r.m.s. value between any insulated conductor and earth (metal covering of the
230 cable or the surrounding medium);
231 b) U is the r.m.s. value between any two phase conductors of a multicore cable or of a
232 system of single core cables.
233 In an alternating current system, the rated voltage of a cable or cord shall be at least equal to
234 the nominal voltage of the system for which it is intended. This condition applies to the values
235 of both U 0 and U.
236 The maximum permanent operating voltage of the system (a.c. or d.c.) is stated in Table 1.

241 identification thread or a repetitive marking of the manufacturer's name or trade-mark.
242 Marking may be by printing or by reproduction in relief on or in the insulation or sheath.
243 6.2 Continuity of marks
244 Each specified mark shall be regarded as continuous if the distance between the end of the
245 mark and the beginning of the next identical mark does not exceed
246 550 mm if the marking is on the outer sheath of the cable;

247 275 mm if the marking is on the insulation or on a tape within the sheathed cable.;

250 test given in 1.8 of IEC 60245-2.
251 6.4 Legibility

363 8.4 Filler (optional)
364 8.4.1 Material
365 Fillers when used shall be composed of one of the following or of any combination of the
366 following:
367 compound; or
368 natural or synthetic textiles; or
369 paper.
370 When a compound is used as filler, there shall be no harmful interactions between its
371 constituents and the insulation and/or the sheath. Compliance with this requirement shall be
372 checked by the compatibility test given in Annex A.
373 8.4.2 Application
374 The fillers shall fill the spaces between the cores giving the assembly a practically circular
375 shape. The fillers shall not adhere to the cores. The assembly of cores and fillers may be held
376 together by film or tape.
377 8.5 Assembly

378 The cores shall be twisted together.
379 A tape may be applied around the core assembly before application of the sheath.
380 8.6 Metallic screen (optional)
381 A metallic screen, consisting of a braid of plain or tinned copper wires, may be included in the
382 construction. A suitable filler or tape shall be applied between assembly of cores and the
383 metallic screen.
384 NOTE: Requirements for the metallic screen shall be agreed between manufacturer and customer.
IEC CDV 62893-1 IEC:2016 14 20/1668/CDV
385 8.7 Sheath
386 8.7.1 Material
387 The sheath shall be a compound of the types specified in Table 3.
388 The test requirements for these compounds are specified in Table 3.
389 8.7.2 Application
390 The sheath shall be extruded in a single layer on the assembly of cores and fillers or screen,
391 if any.
392 The sheath shall not adhere to the cores. A separator, consisting of a film or tape, may be
393 placed under the sheath.
394 In certain cases, the sheath may penetrate into the spaces between the cores, thus forming a
395 filler (see 8.4.2).
396 8.7.3 Thickness
397 The mean value of the thickness shall not be less than the specified value for each type and
398 size of cable shown in the tables of the specific part of these standards.
399 However, the thickness at any place may be less than the specified value provided that the
400 difference does not exceed 0,1 mm + 15 % of the specified value, unless otherwise specified.
401 Compliance shall be checked by the test given in 1.10 of IEC 60245-2.
402 8.7.4 Mechanical properties before and after ageing
403 The sheath shall have adequate mechanical strength and elasticity within the temperature
404 limits to which it may be exposed in normal use.
