Abstract

Specifies the type test requirements on accessories for power cables with extruded insulation and with rated voltages from 1.9/3.3 (3.6) kV up to and including 19/33 (36) kV.

Scope

This Standard specifies the requirements for type testing of accessories for power cables with extruded insulation with rated voltages from 1.9/3.3 (3.6) kV up to and including 19/33 (36) kV, complying with AS/NZS 1429.1 or IEC 60502-2.
The accessories covered by this Standard are listed below:
(a) Indoor and outdoor terminations of all designs, including those designed for installation in terminal boxes.
(b) Straight joints, branch joints and stop-ends of all designs, suitable for use underground or in air.
(c) Screened or unscreened plug-in type or bolted-type separable connectors.
NOTE: Joints connecting cables with extruded insulation to paper-insulated cables are not included. The requirements for these accessories are dealt with in AS/NZS 4805.2.
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.
Approval to this Standard is obtained by satisfying the requirements of the appropriate tests as specified in Section 4.
