RELEVANT STANDARDS FOR TESTS

IEC 60794

# Test name Standard / Parameters and Procedures

1.1 Stress-strain test Standard: IEC 60794-4-10, IEC 60794-1-21 E1
and tensile Test setup and procedure:
performance Cable length: minimum 10 m | Optical fiber length under strain: minimum 100m.
Load initially 8% RTS and set gages at zero.
LAB: PRYSMIAN Increase the load up to 30% RTS and hold during 30 min. Release to initial load.
Increase the load up to 50% RTS and hold during 60 min. Release to initial load.
FITTINGS: Increase the load up to 70% RTS and hold during 60 min. Release to initial load.
- 2 Ten. Deadends Increase the load up to 95% RTS for 5 min.
Pass criteria:
No fibres shall break during the test. Attenuation change shall not exceed 1
dB/Km @1550 nm up to Maximum recommended load (42kN).
1.2 Short-Circuit test Standard: IEC 60794-4-10, IEC 60794-1-24 H1
Test setup and procedure:
LAB: INNOGY Cable length: minimum 10 m. | Length of optical fibres: minimum 100m.
Current pulse: 88.7 KA2 S (9.4kA x1.0s) fully asymmetry.
FITTINGS: Number of strikes: 10 | Initial temperature: 40 º C | Mech. Tension: 1520% RTS
- 2 Ten. Deadends According to IEC 60794, this test may be replaced by an adequate theoretical
- 1 Grouding Clamp calculation method if agreed between the customer and supplier.
Pass criteria:
Optical attenuation shall not exceed 0.2 dB/Km at 1550 nm.
Birdcaging or breaking of the conductor strands shall constitute failure.
1.3 Lightning test Standard: IEC 60794-1-24 H2
Setup conditions:
LAB: PRYSMIAN A cable sample (minimum 8 m) shall be installed in a tensile test machine. One
optical circuit with 48fo shall be performed for attenuation change measurements
FITTINGS: at 1550nm.
- 10 Ten. Deadends Cable shall be pre-loaded at 16% RTS (1710 Kg). A 100C lightning discharge
(200A x 500ms) shall be applied using a balanced electrode. The electrode
separation shall be 51 cm.
The tests shall be repeated 5 times on different cable sections (alternatively could
be carried out on 5 locations of 1 longer (16 meter) sample)

Pass criteria:
Attenuation Change ≤ 0.05 dB/spliced fo
If wires are found to be broken, the residual strength of the OPGW shall
be calculated from the remaining unbroken wires. The calculated residual
strength shall be larger than 75% RTS.
