Ta evropski standard obravnava povezovalne sestave oljnih enofaznih kablov za transformatorje in dušilke, zasnovane v skladu s skupino standardov EN 60076. OPOMBA Izraz »transformator« je v standardu uporabljen kot splošni izraz za transformator in dušilko. Namen standarda EN 50299-1 je za sestave kablov določiti:
• električne in mehanske zahteve, vključno z medsebojno zamenljivostjo;
• omejitve dobave;
• preskus, ki ga je treba izvesti.
Standard po potrebi dopolnjuje in popravlja ustrezne standarde IEC, uporablja pa se za oljne kabelske povezave, primerne za s tekočino polnjene ali suhe kabelske priključke.
Standard EN 50299-1 ne obravnava neposrednih kabelskih priključkov (glej točko 3.1.1.3), vendar pa se lahko v tem primeru uporabi kot vodilo, če se tako dogovorita kupec in dobavitelj (z izjemo slik 1 in 2, ki se ne uporabljata). Ta standard se uporablja za oljne kabelske priključne vtičnice na transformatorjih, pri katerih je najvišja napetost opreme Um od 72,5 kV do 550 kV, vključno s priključkom električnega prevodnika na strani kabelskega končnika transformatorja.

Overview
The EN 50299-1:2014 standard governs oil-immersed cable connection assemblies for transformers and reactors with the highest voltage for equipment (Um) ranging from 72.5 kV up to 550 kV. Developed by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CLC), this standard specifically addresses the fluid-filled cable terminations used in such high-voltage equipment, designed in accordance with the EN 60076 series.
The primary objective of EN 50299-1 is to define the electrical and mechanical requirements, establish the limits of supply, and specify the tests to be performed on cable connection assemblies that connect power cables to transformers and reactors. It ensures the interchangeability, reliability, and safety of oil-immersed cable connections, which are critical components in high-voltage electrical infrastructure.
Key Topics
Scope: Applies to oil-immersed single-phase cable connection assemblies on transformers and reactors rated for Um from 72.5 kV to 550 kV. The term "transformer" includes reactors within the context of the standard.
Electrical and Mechanical Requirements:
- Rated voltages and currents must align with EN 60076 transformer requirements.
- Mechanical robustness includes oil-tightness, corrosion protection, and resistance to mechanical forces such as static 2 kN transverse forces.
- Connection interfaces must use materials like bare copper or coated copper/aluminum to ensure reliability and temperature limits consistent with cable insulation ratings.
Interchangeability & Compatibility:
- The standard defines interface dimensions and connection protocols to promote interchangeability of cable terminations across compliant equipment.
- Dimensions correspond with harmonized standards such as EN 62271-209.
Testing Protocols:
- Factory tests include dimensional verification, vacuum/pressure endurance, dielectric performance, and mechanical strength tests.
- Post-installation tests cover dielectric testing with representative cables under transformer oil conditions, ensuring system integrity after installation.
- The standard includes guidance on corona shield requirements and disconnection facilities to protect transformer insulation during testing.
Rated Values & Preferred Parameters:
- Highest voltage levels of equipment standardized from 72.5 kV up to 550 kV.
- Rated currents selected at least 20% above the transformer rated current, ranging from 1000 A to 3150 A.
- Test voltages and currents align with IEC and EN series reference documents (e.g., EN 60076, IEC 60840).
Applications
EN 50299-1:2014 is instrumental for:
Transformer and Reactor Manufacturing: Ensures a unified approach for cable connection assemblies in oil-filled transformers and reactors, facilitating safer, more efficient production lines and interoperability between equipment from multiple suppliers.
High Voltage Cable Systems: Critical for the design and installation of high-voltage power transmission networks where reliable oil-immersed cable feedthroughs are necessary for connection integrity and operational safety.
Maintenance and Quality Assurance: Provides detailed testing and verification methods utilized by utilities and service providers to maintain and inspect cable connection assemblies, ensuring ongoing system performance and preventing failures.
Electrical Infrastructure Standardization: EN 50299-1 supports the harmonization of electrical equipment standards across European markets, supporting suppliers, manufacturers, and operators in complying with regional regulations and interoperability requirements.
