This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2011-11-28. CENELEC members are bound to comply
with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard
the status of a national standard without any alteration.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre or to any CENELEC member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified
to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus,
the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy,
Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia,
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

Foreword
The text of document 73/152/CDV, future edition 3 of IEC 60865-1, prepared by IEC/TC 73 "Short-circuit
currents" was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and approved by CENELEC as
The following dates are fixed:
(dop) 2012-09-23
• latest date by which the document has
to be implemented at national level by
publication of an identical national
standard or by endorsement
(dow) 2014-11-28
• latest date by which the national
standards conflicting with the
document have to be withdrawn
This document supersedes EN 60865-1:1993.
— The determinations for automatic reclosure together with rigid conductors have been revised.
— The influence of mid-span droppers to the span has been included.
— For vertical cable-connection the displacement and the tensile force onto the lower fixing point may
now be calculated.
— Additional recommendations for foundation loads due to tensile forces have been added.
— The subclause for determination of the thermal equivalent short-circuits current has been deleted (it
is now part of EN 60909-0).
— The regulations for thermal effects of electrical equipment have been deleted.
— The standard has been reorganized and some of the symbols have been changed to follow the
conceptual characteristic of international standards.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.
Endorsement notice
The text of the International Standard IEC 60865-1:2011 was approved by CENELEC as a European
Standard without any modification.
