Electrical test methods for low voltage energy cables
EN 50395 contains electrical test methods required for the testing of harmonized low voltage energy cables, especially those rated at up to and including 450/750 V. NOTE 1 A description of the origin of these test methods and the background to this European Standard is given in the Introduction and in Annex B. The particular cable standard dictates the tests which need to be performed on the relevant cable type. It also specifies whether the specific test is a type test (T), a sample test (S) or a routine test (R) for the particular cable type. NOTE 2 T, S and R are defined in the relevant cable standard. The requirements to be met during or after the test are specified for the particular cable type in the relevant cable standard. However, some test requirements are obvious and universal, such as the fact that no breakdown shall occur during voltage tests, and these are stated in the particular test method. Test methods for use specifically in utility power cables are not covered by this European Standard. They can be found in HD 605. Test methods for use specifically in communications cables are the responsibility of the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 46X, Communication cables. At present such test methods are given in EN 50289 series.
Elektrische Prüfverfahren für Niederspannungskabel und -leitungen
EN 50395 enthält elektrische Prüfverfahren für die Prüfung von harmonisierten Niederspannungskabeln und leitungen, insbesondere für die mit Nennspannungen bis 450/750 V. ANMERKUNG 1 Eine Beschreibung der Herkunft dieser Prüfverfahren und des Hintergrunds dieser Europäischen Norm findet sich in der Einleitung und im Anhang B. Die jeweilige Kabel- und Leitungsnorm bestimmt die Prüfungen, die an der entsprechenden Kabel- und Leitungsbauart durchgeführt werden müssen. Sie legt ebenfalls fest, ob die spezielle Prüfung eine Typ- (T), Auswahl- (S) oder Stückprüfung (R) für die jeweilige Kabel- oder Leitungsbauart ist. ANMERKUNG 2 T, S und R sind in der zutreffenden Kabel- und Leitungsnorm festgelegt. Die Anforderungen, die während oder nach der Prüfung erfüllt werden müssen, sind für die jeweilige Kabel- oder Leitungsbauart in der zugehörigen Kabel- oder Leitungsnorm festgelegt. Einige Prüfanforderungen sind offensichtlich und allgemeingültig, zum Beispiel die Tatsache, dass kein Durchschlag während der Spannungsprüfung auftreten darf; diese Anforderungen sind im jeweiligen Prüfverfahren niedergelegt. Prüfverfahren, die speziell bei Energieversorgungskabeln anzuwenden sind, werden durch diese Europäische Norm nicht abgedeckt. Sie sind in HD 605 zu finden. Prüfverfahren, die speziell bei Kommunikationskabeln anzuwenden sind, liegen im Zuständigkeitsbereich von dem Technischen Komitee CENELEC TC 46X "Kabel für Fernmelde- und Informationsverarbeitungsanlagen". Zur Zeit sind diese Prüfverfahren in EN 50289 Reihe angegeben.
Méthodes d'essais électriques pour les câbles d'énergie basse tension
La EN 50395 définit les méthodes d’essais électriques destinées au contrôle des câbles d’énergie basse tension harmonisés, en particulier ceux de tension assignée au plus égale à 450/750 V. NOTE 1 L’indication de l’origine de ces méthodes d’essais et du contexte de cette Norme Européenne est donnée dans l’introduction et dans l’Annexe B. La spécification particulière du câble prescrit les essais devant être effectués sur le type de câble considéré. Elle définit également si un essai spécifié est un essai de type (symbole T), un essai sur prélèvements (symbole S) ou un essai individuel (symbole R) pour le type particulier de câble considéré. NOTE 2 T, S et R sont définis dans la norme de câble applicable. Les résultats à obtenir pendant ou à l’issue de l’essai pour un type de câble donné sont définis dans la spécification particulière correspondante. Toutefois, certains résultats ont un caractère évident et général, comme le fait qu’aucun claquage de l’isolation ne doit se produire pendant les essais de tension, et ils sont prescrits en conséquence dans la méthode d’essai particulière. Les méthodes d’essais spécifiquement applicables aux câbles de puissance pour réseau de distribution publique ne figurent pas dans cette Norme européenne. Elles peuvent être trouvées dans le HD 605. Les méthodes d’essais spécifiquement applicables aux câbles de communication relèvent du comité technique CENELEC TC 46X, Câbles de communication. Elles figurent actuellement dans la série de normes EN 50289.

Introduction
EN 50395 contains the electrical test methods that are used for harmonized low voltage energy
cables. These electrical test methods include all those previously contained in HD 21 and HD 22.
Annex B gives a comparison between the original location of each test method and its place in this
new European Standard.
The content of EN 50395 is not, and will not be, restricted only to test methods for cables to HD 21
and HD 22. Other test methods for harmonized LV cables may be included. Furthermore, the use of
test methods in EN 50395 for cables outside HD 21 and HD 22 is not prohibited, but it is strongly
recommended that expert advice be taken before such use, or before any proposal for incorporation
into another standard.
1 Scope
EN 50395 contains electrical test methods required for the testing of harmonized low voltage energy
cables, especially those rated at up to and including 450/750 V.
NOTE 1 A description of the origin of these test methods and the background to this European Standard is given in the
Introduction and in Annex B.
The particular cable standard dictates the tests which need to be performed on the relevant cable
type. It also specifies whether the specific test is a type test (T), a sample test (S) or a routine test (R)
for the particular cable type.
NOTE 2 T, S and R are defined in the relevant cable standard.
The requirements to be met during or after the test are specified for the particular cable type in the
relevant cable standard. However, some test requirements are obvious and universal, such as the fact
that no breakdown shall occur during voltage tests, and these are stated in the particular test method.
Test methods for use specifically in utility power cables are not covered by this European Standard.
They can be found in HD 605.
Test methods for use specifically in communications cables are the responsibility of the Technical
Committee CENELEC TC 46X, Communication cables. At present such test methods are given in
EN 50289 series.
