Overview

EN 50397-1:2020 (CLC) specifies requirements for covered conductors for overhead lines with rated voltages above 1 kV AC and not exceeding 36 kV AC. Part 1 of the EN 50397 series covers the construction, marking and testing of the covered conductor itself (with or without integrated longitudinal watertightness and/or a semi‑conductive conductor screen). The standard clarifies performance expectations for coverings that provide protection against accidental contacts while acknowledging that covered conductors remain unscreened and are not touch‑proof.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and definitions: Rated voltage (U), test types (type, sample, routine) and terms used throughout the document.
  • Construction requirements: Designation and coding (example: “CCX 66‑AL3 WK 20kV”), conductor materials and cross‑sections, filling, covering materials (e.g., XLPE, thermoplastic polyethylene) and options for watertight or compacted conductors.
  • Marking and traceability: Indication of origin, continuity and durability of marks, and legibility requirements for product identification.
  • Testing and performance: Type, sample and routine tests covering electrical and non‑electrical performance. Normative annexes specify test procedures for:
    • Measurement of leakage current
    • Tracking resistance
    • Slippage (mechanical retention of the covering)
    • Resistance to UV rays
  • Normative references: Cross‑references to related test and conductor standards (EN 50182, EN 60811 series, EN 62219, EN 62230, HD 605 S3, IEC 60502‑2).

Applications and users

EN 50397-1:2020 is intended for stakeholders involved in the specification, manufacture, testing and deployment of covered overhead conductors:

  • Utilities and distribution network operators specifying conductors for rural and urban overhead lines
  • Cable and covered‑conductor manufacturers for product design, quality control and type testing
  • Test laboratories performing electrical and environmental tests (leakage current, tracking, UV)
  • Engineers and designers ensuring compliance with product selection and procurement requirements
  • Regulators and standards bodies aligning national rules with CENELEC harmonized requirements

— Part 2, “Accessories for covered conductors: Tests and acceptance criteria”; and
— Part 3, “Guide to use”
Introduction
The EN 50397 series covers the construction, performance and test requirements for covered conductors
for overhead lines having a nominal voltage U above 1 kV AC up to and including 36 kV AC, and for the
related accessories.
Covered conductors consist of a conductor surrounded by a covering made of insulating material as
protection against accidental contacts with other covered conductors and with grounded parts such as tree
branches, etc. In comparison with insulated conductors, this covering has reduced properties, but is able
to withstand the phase-to-earth voltage temporarily.
Since covered conductors are unscreened, they are not touch-proof, i.e. they should be treated as bare
conductors with respect to electric shock.
This document does not cover aspects related to the installation of overhead lines such as determination
of clearances, spans, sags, etc.
1 Scope
This document contains the requirements for covered conductors with or without integrated longitudinal
water tightness and/or semi-conductive conductor screen for applications in overhead lines with rated
voltages U above 1 kV a.c. and not exceeding 36 kV a.c.
