Jera Line on-site testing lab includes the short-circuit overcurrent testing equipment, that helps us to endure the products’ performance. We follow to testing procedure described by EN 50483-4 norm. The EN 50483-4 standard outlines the test requirements for low voltage aerial bundled cable accessories, specifically focusing on connectors. This part of the standard is applicable to connectors used for the electrical connection of aerial bundled cables (ABC) with a rated voltage of U0/U (Um): 0.6/1 (1.2) kV.
The Short-circuit (SC) overcurrent test imitates the workloads of power line during the weather impacts, and other cases. To ensure that testing products such as insulation piercing connectors, cable lugs, will continue to serve after short-circuit.
The testing scope described in EN 50483:4 is essential for ensuring the safety and reliability of the connectors used in overhead line fittings for tensioning, supporting, and connecting ABC.
These procedures are crucial for validating the performance of the connectors under conditions that simulate actual service conditions, including their ability to withstand short-circuit currents without failing or causing a hazard. It’s important for manufacturers and testing facilities to adhere to these standards to ensure the quality and safety of their products. If you need more detailed information or specific sections of the standard, I can provide a summary or explanation based on the available data.
Jera Line are dedicated to advancing the standards of electrical connectivity through meticulous testing and quality control.
