Full Description

This part of IEC 60502 specifies the test requirements for type testing of accessories for power cables with rated voltages from 3,6/6 (7,2) kV up to 18/30 (36) kV, complying with IEC 60502‑2 or other relevant cable standards.

Accessories for special applications, such as aerial cables, submarine or ship cables or hazardous situations (explosive environments, fire-resistant cables or seismic conditions), are not included.

It is not necessary to repeat these tests, once successfully completed, unless changes are made in the materials, design or manufacturing process which can affect the performance characteristics.

Test methods are included in IEC 61442.
