Table 8 - Test Sequences and Requirements For Unscreened Separable Connectors (Excluding Shrouded Terminations)

This document outlines 14 test sequences and requirements for unscreened separable connectors, excluding shrouded terminations. It provides details on test methods from IEC 61442, including AC or DC voltage testing, partial discharge testing, impulse testing, thermal short-circuit testing of screens and conductors, dynamic short-circuit testing, heating cycle testing in air and under water, disconnect/connect testing, humidity testing, and final examination. Requirements include maximum partial discharge, number of impulses and cycles, short-circuit current levels, voltage levels, and humidity and temperature conditions.

1) Unless otherwise specified, tests shall be carried out at ambient temperature.
2) Not required for accessories installed on 3,6/6 (7,2) kV cables having unscreened insulation.
3) t is the maximum cable conductor temperature in normal operation +5 K to 10 K.
4) 8 h total with 2 h steady and 3 h cooling.
5) Measurement is made at the end of the heating period.
6) This test applies only to separable connectors that are equipped with a connection to, or adaptor for, the
metallic screen of the cable.
7) Thermal short-circuit may be combined with the dynamic short-circuit.
8) Only required for single-core cable accessories designed for initial peak currents i p > 80 kA and three-core
accessories designed for i p > 63 kA. Value of I d shall be declared by the manufacturer.
9) The test shall be carried out only when the cable is de-energized.
10) Test to be carried out with three samples in a test terminal box.
11) It is advised that the accessory is examined for signs of any of the following:
(i) cracking in the filling media and/or tape or tube components
and/or (ii) a moisture path across a primary seal
and/or (iii) corrosion and/or tracking and/or erosion which would, in time, lead to failure of the accessory
and/or (iv) leakage of any insulating material.
