本标准为设计非传统屏蔽电力电缆提供了基础，该电缆的额定电压为5至46 kV，用于传输和分配电能。这些非传统电缆的总直径通常小于ICEA标准S-94-649和S-97-682中规定的传统屏蔽电力电缆的直径。本标准无意促进电缆组件厚度或尺寸的标准化。减小电缆各种聚合物层和金属层的壁厚可实现较小的外径。 随着聚合物层厚度的减小，电缆中的电应力可能会增加。制造商将根据他们确定的不会对电缆产生不利影响的最大可接受电应力水平来设计电缆？这是她的表现。由于基于性能的设计可能因制造商而异，因此本标准的用户必须非常仔细地评估非传统电缆设计。此外，本标准的使用者必须考虑基于电缆电缆附件的冲击性能设计。注:适用于水下应用的电缆绝缘鉴定要求或电缆设计特征见附录K。

This standard provides the basis for designing non-traditional shielded power cables that will be rated 5 to 46 kV and be used for the transmission and distribution of electrical energy. These non-traditional cables will normally have overall diameters that are less than the diameters of what are considered traditional shielded power cables as specified in ICEA Standards S-94-649 and S-97-682. This standard is not intended to promote standardization of cable component thicknesses or dimensions. The smaller overall diameters are accomplished by reducing the wall thicknesses of the various polymer and metallic layers of the cable. As the polymer layer thicknesses are reduced, the electrical stress in the cable may increase. Manufacturers will design their cables based on what they have determined to be the maximum acceptable electrical stress levels that will not adversely affect their cable?s performance. Since performance based designs can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, the user of this standard must evaluate non-traditional cable designs very carefully. Additionally, the user of this standard must consider the impact performance based cable designs will have on cable accessories.Note: See Appendix K for cable insulations qualification requirements or cable design features appropriate for submerged applications.
