Ensuring Longevity:The Role of Electrical Aging Testing in Compliance with EN-50483:4 and NF C 33 020 Standards. 

In the realm of electrical components, particularly power cable connectors, longevity and reliability are paramount. Jera Line’s commitment to these principles is exemplified through our rigorous application of electrical aging testing, a process that ensures our products can withstand the test of time and maintain their performance throughout their expected lifespan.

Electrical aging testing is a critical component of the quality assurance process for power cable connectors. It involves subjecting the connectors to electrical stresses that simulate the conditions they will face over their operational life. This testing is crucial for identifying potential long-term degradation mechanisms and ensuring that the connectors remain safe and functional.

Jera Line does electrical ageing test for Insulation piercing connectors, cable lugs, mechanical bolted connectors, and other power cable connectors. The EN-50483:4 and NF C 33 020 standards provide a framework for such testing. EN-50483:4 is a European standard that outlines the test requirements for accessories used in assembled insulated aerial cable systems. It ensures that these components can endure the environmental and operational conditions they will encounter. Similarly, the NF C 33 020 standard specifies the testing requirements for low-voltage overhead insulated cable accessories, focusing on the robustness and durability of the connectors.

At Jera Line, our electrical aging testing equipment is state-of-the-art, capable of delivering precise and reliable results that adhere to these standards. Our testing procedures include:

• Accelerated Aging: By increasing the temperature and voltage, we accelerate the aging process of the connectors to evaluate their long-term stability.
• Environmental Simulations: Connectors are exposed to various environmental conditions to assess their resistance to factors such as UV radiation, moisture, and temperature fluctuations.
• Electrical Stress Testing: We apply continuous or cyclic electrical loads to the connectors to ensure they can handle the electrical demands of real-world applications.

By integrating these comprehensive testing methodologies, Jera Line not only complies with the EN-50483:4 and NF C 33 020 standards but also goes beyond them, offering products that are tested for excellence and durability. Our clients can have confidence in the connectors’ ability to perform reliably over their entire service life, contributing to the overall safety and efficiency of power distribution systems.
