Overview
EN IEC 61238-1-3:2019/A11:2019 specifies test methods and requirements for compression and mechanical connectors used on power cables with rated voltages above 1 kV (Um = 1.2 kV) up to 36 kV (Um = 42 kV) when tested on non‑insulated conductors. This CENELEC amendment (A11) updates the original part 1-3 by raising the upper voltage limit from 30 kV to 36 kV and clarifying scope and title. The standard applies to connectors for use on copper or aluminium conductors and sets out type test criteria to verify mechanical and electrical performance.
Key topics and requirements
- Voltage range and scope: Covers connectors for rated voltages >1 kV up to 36 kV (Um = 42 kV), tested on non‑insulated conductors.
- Connector types: Focuses on compression connectors and mechanical (screw‑type) connectors for power cables.
- Type test methods: Defines test procedures to assess mechanical strength, electrical continuity, and endurance under service‑relevant stress (as described in the EN IEC 61238‑1‑3 series).
- Materials and conductor compatibility: For use with copper and aluminium conductors; tests ensure reliable joint performance for specified conductor materials.
- Regulatory adoption: Approved by CENELEC; national electrotechnical committees are required to implement or endorse the amendment by specified dates.
- Intellectual property notice: Draws attention to the possibility of patent rights covering elements of the document.
Applications and who uses this standard
- Connector manufacturers use the standard to design and type‑test compression and mechanical connectors for medium‑voltage power distribution.
- Cable and accessory suppliers adopt these test requirements to ensure product compatibility and performance on non‑insulated conductors.
- Test laboratories and certification bodies implement the specified methods to perform type testing and product certification.
- Utilities, engineers, and procurement teams reference the standard for specifying compliant connectors in overhead and underground medium‑voltage systems.
- Standards committees and regulatory bodies use it to harmonize national standards and procurement rules across CENELEC members.
Related standards
- EN IEC 61238 family (other parts of IEC 61238) - for broader guidance on connector tests and requirements across different voltage ranges and installation conditions.
- National electrotechnical standards and CENELEC implementation documents for regional adoption and additional requirements.
