Overview

SIST EN ISO 5828:2001 is a European and international standard that specifies the dimensions and characteristics of secondary connecting cables used in resistance welding equipment. These cables are designed to connect the secondary terminals of welding transformers to electrode holders. The standard specifically covers secondary cables that are air-cooled along their length, with terminals connected to water-cooled lugs, ensuring efficient heat management during high-current welding operations.

This standard was prepared by ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 44 and CEN Technical Committee CEN/TC 121, emphasizing consistent quality and performance in welding cable assemblies across various industries.

Key Topics

  • Cable Classification
    The standard classifies secondary connecting cables based on flexibility and wire diameter into three types:

    • Low Flexibility (LF): Wire diameter > 0.16 mm to 0.25 mm
    • Flexible (F): Wire diameter > 0.08 mm to 0.16 mm
    • Highly Flexible (HF): Wire diameter ≤ 0.08 mm
  • Dimensions and Marking
    Detailed dimensions are provided for cross-sectional areas ranging from 200 mm² to 800 mm², including specific measurements for terminals, cable, and insulation. All cables must be clearly marked with their cross-section, length, and flexibility type for easy identification.

  • Materials and Electrical Properties
    Conductors must be composed of copper with a minimum purity of 99.9% to ensure excellent electrical conductivity. The insulation cover must resist common industrial chemicals, welding spatter, and temperatures up to 100°C without degradation. Silicone is expressly prohibited for insulation. Electrical properties include:

    • Maximum mass resistivity: 0.15328 µΩ·m (at 20 °C)
    • Minimum conductivity: 100% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard)
  • Construction Requirements
    The cables have a specified twist of at least half a revolution over their length for mechanical durability and electrical performance. The terminals are connected to water-cooled lugs to manage heat dissipation efficiently.

  • Endurance Testing
    The standard mandates endurance testing simulating welding conditions-20 strokes per minute at a 4% duty cycle for at least 8 hours. Cables must withstand 300,000 mechanical and electrical operations without exceeding a 15% increase in resistance at 20 °C.

Applications

SIST EN ISO 5828:2001 cables are critical components in resistance welding systems widely used across manufacturing sectors including automotive, aerospace, electronics, and heavy engineering. Their design ensures:

  • Reliable electrical connectivity during high-current welding processes
  • Effective heat dissipation to prevent equipment damage and ensure operator safety
  • Extended service life of welding equipment by maintaining stable electrical resistance
  • Standardized implementation facilitating compatibility and interchangeability of components across different manufacturers and regions

Manufacturers and maintenance teams use this standard as a reference to select and verify the appropriate secondary connecting cables for their welding setups.

Related Standards

  • EN ISO 4063 - Classification of welding and allied processes, giving context to resistance welding equipment applications.
  • IEC 60502 - Power cables with extruded insulation, relevant for understanding insulation standards though not specific to welding cables.
  • ISO 5827 - Dimensions and characteristics of electrode holders, complementary to the cable standards for overall welding equipment compatibility.
