Cable cleats for electrical installations

This International Standard specifies requirements and tests for cable cleats and intermediate
restraints used for securing cable in electrical installations. Cable cleats provide resistance to
electromechanical forces where declared. This standard includes cable cleats that rely on a
mounting surface specified by the manufacturer for axial and/or lateral retention of cables.
This standard does not apply to:
− cable glands;
− cable ties.

Brides de câbles pour installations électriques

IEC 61914:2015 est disponible sous forme de IEC 61914:2015 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.
L'IEC 61914:2015 spécifie les exigences et essais pour brides de câbles et dispositifs intermédiaires de tenue utilisés pour la fixation de câbles dans des installations électriques. Les brides de câbles fournissent une résistance aux forces électromécaniques lorsque cela est déclaré. La présente norme inclut les brides de câbles qui reposent sur une surface de montage spécifiée par le fabricant pour le maintien axial et/ou latéral des câbles. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2009. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) Déclaration et test complémentaires pour le maintien latéral à la charge en fonction de l'orientation de montage des brides, et ajout de nouvelles figures associées;
b) Déclaration supplémentaire de la distance entre les centres des câbles pour tout essai de court-circuit, et mise à jour des figures associées;
c) Définition du type de câble à utiliser pour les essais de court-circuit et assouplissement des limites de température ambiante durant les essais;
d) Ajout de photographies illustrant le montage d'essai avant et après l'essai de court-circuit et exigence supplémentaire de consigner les caractéristiques détaillées du câble utilisé;
e) Modifications des paramètres de l'essai de tenue aux rayonnements lumineux ultraviolets.
Cette édition inclut également les modifications éditoriales suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
f) Mise à jour des références normatives et de la bibliographie;
g) Clarification éditoriale des définitions;
h) Clarification éditoriale des règles de choix des échantillons d'essai et des essais de brides de câbles conçues pour plusieurs câbles;
i) Assouplissement de certaines exigences relatives aux matériaux des mandrins;
j) Clarification des exigences de contrôle après un essai de court-circuit et ajout de l'option d'essai en tension alternative ou en tension continue après un deuxième court-circuit;
k) Clarification de l'application de l'essai de tenue à la corrosion à tous les types de fixations;
l) Nouvelle illustration d'exemple de bride de câbles;
m) Limitations de l'utilisation des formules de l'Annexe B.

Kabelske objemke za elektroinštalacije

Ta mednarodni standard določa zahteve in preskuse za kabelske objemke in vmesne naslone, ki se uporabljajo za pritrditev kabla v električnih inštalacijah. Kabelske objemke zagotavljajo odpornost na morebitne elektromehanske sile. Ta standard vključuje kabelske objemke za montažo na površino, na katero se po navedbah proizvajalca lahko pritrdi kable po osi in/ali bočno.
Ta standard se ne uporablja za:
− kabelske kite;
− kabelske spojke.
