Several years ago the Insulated Cable Engineers Association (ICEA) issued a number of
new standards for solid-dielectric insulated power cables. Several of these standards are
joint-standards with the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). The new
standards were then submitted to ANSI for recognition as National Standards.
new standards for solid-dielectric insulated power cables. Several of these standards are
joint-standards with the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). The new
standards were then submitted to ANSI for recognition as National Standards.
The new ICEA standards reflect a change in ICEA’s standards writing objective. They are
written as “application standards” rather than the “insulation material-based standards” of
the past. These new standards have been updated to reflect the latest conductor
constructions, insulations and jacket materials being used to manufacture wires and cables.
The advantage of having an application standard is that all insulations suitable for use on a
specific product are contained in one document. With material-based standards, only one
type of insulation and its requirements are defined. If a different insulation were to be
considered, a separate standard would be required.

As a result of the new ICEA / NEMA application standards being issued, the older,
more-familiar materials-based ICEA / NEMA standards were being withdrawn. This was
necessary to eliminate duplication and because the materials-based standards are no longer being
maintained. The withdrawn ICEA / NEMA standards are :
