Procedure The cable sample was prepared in accordance with the procedure as mentioned in clause F.1 of IEC 60502-2. Following this, the tube was filled within 5 minutes with water up to a height of the water in the tube of 1 m above the cable centre. After 24 hours the first heating cycle was started. For the procedure of the heating cycles reference is made to clause F.2 of IEC 60502-2. Requirement No water shall emerge from the ends of the cable sample. Result The test was passed.
