IEC 61238-1-3, which covers Compression and Mechanical Connectors for Power Cables. Title of the test is: IEC 61238-1-3: Compression and Mechanical Connectors for Power Cables. Jera Line connectors and cable lugs had passed the IEC testing scope.
Description:
Scope: IEC 61238-1-3 applies to compression and mechanical connectors used in power cables with rated voltages above 1 kV (Um = 1.2 kV) up to 30 kV (Um = 36 kV). These connectors are essential for buried cables or those installed in buildings.
Conductor Types: The standard covers connectors for copper and aluminum conductors, with nominal cross-sectional areas ranging from 2.5 mm² to 1,200 mm².
Temperature Limit: Connectors must withstand a maximum continuous conductor temperature of 90°C.
Tests and Requirements: IEC 61238-1-3 defines type test methods, including electrical tests, heat cycling, and mechanical tests. The reference method involves testing on unused conductors.
Significant Changes: This edition widens the scope to cover connectors for conductors as small as 2.5 mm² and introduces a new mechanical class for larger cross-sectional areas.
