Impulse tests on cables and their accessories

Lays down the conditions and procedure for carrying out impulse tests on cables and their accessories, with a view to rationalizing the practice in different laboratories, and thus to facilitate valid comparisons between the results obtained on cables made to different specifications. Notes: 1.This publication should be read in conjunction with EN 60060 and 60141. 2.For voltage measurements with sphere-gaps, see EN 60052.

Stoßspannungsprüfungen an Kabeln und deren Garnituren

Essais de choc des câbles et de leurs accessoires

Fixe les conditions et les modalités d'essais de choc des câbles et de leurs accessoires en vue d'uniformiser la pratique des différents laboratoires et de faciliter les comparaisons valables entre les résultats obtenus sur des câbles répondant à des spécifications différentes. Note: 1. Cette publication doit être lue conjointement avec les EN 60060 et 60141. 2. Pour la mesure des tensions d'éclateurs à sphères, voir la EN 60052.
