Definitions
3.1
Additional Mass (Reference Sandpaper Abrasion Resistance Test)The mass which is applied to the
support rod. The combination of the forces exerted by the additional mass and the 0.63 N exerted by the
remaining apparatus (bracket, support rod, and pivoting arm) is applied to the cable.

General RequirementsThe cable shall meet all of the requirements of SAE J1127, SAE J1128, or SAE
J1678 for the applicable cable type.
4.1
General Test ConditionsTest samples shall be preconditioned for at least 16 h at a room temperature of
23 C 5 C. Unless otherwise specified, all tests shall be conducted at this same temperature.

Additional Requirements
5.1
Dielectric TestThe test shall be conducted according to the applicable section of SAE J1127, SAE J1128,
or SAE J1678 except the voltage shall be as defined in Figure 1. This test shall be used for virgin cable and
after all other tests which require a Dielectric Test, such as cold bend, fluid exposure, etc.
FIGURE 1DIELECTRIC TEST AND SPARK TEST, REFERENCE 5.1 AND 5.2
5.2
Spark Test100% of the in process cable shall be subjected to a spark test at the voltage specified in Figure
1. Every point on the cable shall withstand a minimum of 18 positive and negative crests of the supply voltage
(the equivalent of nine full cycles of the supply voltage) without failure of the insulation.
5.3
Insulation Resistance25 mm of insulation shall be removed from each end of a 5 m sample of finished
cable. Twist the ends together. Immerse the sample to within 1 m from the end of the insulation in tap water at
21 C 6 C for a minimum of 6 h. Measure the resistance between the core and water using a bridge that is
accurate to within 10% of the measured value and having an open circuit potential of 125 V or more. The
sample shall have a minimum resistance of 30 M.
FIGURE 2MINIMUM ABRASION AND PINCH RESISTANCE, REFERENCE 5.4 AND 5.5
5.4
Abrasion ResistanceThe cable shall meet the Abrasion Resistance requirements of SAE J1127, J1128,
or J1678 for the applicable cable type or the requirements of Figure 2, which ever is greater.
-4-
Pinch ResistanceThe cable shall meet the Pinch Resistance requirements of SAE J1128, or J1678 for the
applicable cable type or the requirements of Figure 2, which ever is greater.
