Compression and mechanical connectors for power cables-Test methods and requirements for compression and mechanical connectors for power cables for rated voltages up to 1 kV (<i>U</i><sub>m</sub> = 1,2 kV) tested on non-insulated conductors
电力电缆的压缩和机械连接器 在非绝缘导体上测试额定电压不超过1kV(<i>U</i><sub>m</sub>=1.2kV)的电力电缆用压缩连接器和机械连接器的试验方法和要求
This part of IEC 61238 applies to compression and mechanical connectors for power cables for rated voltages up to 1 kV (Um= 1,2 kV), for example buried cables or cables installed in buildings, having
a) conductors complying with IEC 60228 having nominal cross-sectional areas between 2,5 mm2and 1 200 mm2for copper and between 16 mm2and 1 200 mm2for aluminium;b) a maximum continuous conductor temperature not exceeding 90 °C.
This document is not applicable to connectors for overhead line conductors nor to connectors with a sliding contact.
The object of this document is to define the type test methods and requirements which apply to compression and mechanical connectors for power cables with copper or aluminium conductors. The reference method is to perform the tests on unused conductors.Cross References:IEC 60949:1988IEC 60949:1988/AMD1:2008IEC 60050-461IEC 60228IEC 60493-1EN 60228IEC 61238-1-2EN IEC 61238-1-2EN 61238-1IEC 61238-1EN IEC 61238-1-3IEC 61238-1-3IEC 62475:2010All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
