1 Scope
1.1 General
This document specifies performance requirements for type tests for cable accessories for use on
extruded insulation power cables as specified in HD 620 or other relevant cable standards.
Once type test for an accessory is successfully completed, it is not necessary to repeat the test,
unless changes are made in the materials, design or manufacturing process, which might affect the
performance characteristics.
Possible extra thermo-mechanical forces due to high current loads from renewable sources of power
generation are not covered by these tests (under consideration).
Accessories for special applications such as submarine cables, ship cables or hazardous situations
(explosive environments, fire resistant cables or seismic conditions) are not included.
Test methods are included in EN 61442:2005.

NOTE 1: This European Standard does not invalidate existing approvals of products achieved on the basis of national
standards and specifications and/or the demonstration of satisfactory service performance. However, products approved
according to such national standards or specifications cannot directly claim approval to this European standard.
NOTE 2: It may be possible, subject to agreement between supplier and purchaser, and/or the relevant conformity
assessment body, to demonstrate that conformity to the earlier standard can be used to claim conformity to this European
Standard, provided an assessment is made of any additional type testing that may need to be carried out. Any such additional
testing that is part of a sequence of testing cannot be done separately.
1.2 Type of accessories

The accessories covered by this standard are listed below:
a) indoor and outdoor terminations of all designs, including terminal boxes;

b) straight-joints, branch-joints, stop ends and loop joints of all designs, suitable for use
underground, indoors or outdoors;
NOTE 1 Tests specific for UV and outdoor weather resistance are not included.
c) screened or unscreened plug-in type or bolted-type separable connectors, capable of interfacing
with bushing profiles as specified in EN 50180 and EN 50181.
NOTE 2 Joints connecting extruded insulation cables (HD 620) to paper insulated cables (HD 621) are not included.
The requirements for these accessories are dealt with in HD 629.2.
1.3 Rated voltage

The rated voltages U 0 /U (U m) of the accessories covered by this standard are 3,6/6(7,2) - 3,8/6,6(7,2)
- 6/10(12) - 6,35/11(12) - 8,7/15(17,5) - 12/20(24) - 12,7/22(24) - 18/30(36) - 19/33(36) -
20,8/36(42) kV where:
U 0 is the rated power-frequency voltage between conductor and earth or metallic screen, for which
the cable accessory is designed;
U is the rated power-frequency voltage between conductors for which the cable accessory is
designed;
U m is the maximum value of the 'highest system voltage' for which the cable accessory is designed.
1.4 Current
The continuous current rating of a termination or joint for extruded insulation power cables is in
accordance with the appropriate cable specified in HD 620 or other relevant cable standards and is
suitable for operation at the rated current and under short circuit fault conditions at the temperatures
stated therein.
The current rating of a separable connector is governed by the current rating of the mating bushing
(see EN 50180 and EN 50181).

4 Components
4.1 Connectors
Connectors used within the accessory shall comply with EN 61238-1 class A, or with another relevant
standard or specification when agreed between manufacturer/supplier. All connectors shall be
identified in accordance with Annex B.
Where an accessory is to be installed with a different connector than that used for qualification, its
compatibility and performance shall be verified.
Compliance is demonstrated with the connector used in the tests. For extension of compliance to
other connectors refer to 6.6.
4.2 Materials
It is not a prerequisite for compliance with this testing standard that any component material (resin,
heat-shrink tubing etc.) should be subject to any form of individual type testing or fingerprinting.
Where required, monitoring of the ongoing suitability of component material supplies should be done
by fingerprinting using the EN 50655.
If type testing of resins, pressure sensitive adhesive tapes and flexible insulating sleevings for
electrical purposes is required, reference should be made to the relevant standards produced by
IEC/TC 15, which have been adopted by CENELEC, as listed for information in the bibliography.
The term “material characterization” is sometimes used in conjunction with both type testing and
fingerprinting of component materials, but it is undefined, and its use should therefore be avoided.
5 Test assemblies
5.1 Identification
Cables
The cables used for testing should comply with HD 620 or other relevant cable standards and shall
be identified as in Annex A.
Connectors
Connectors used within the accessories shall be identified as in Annex B.
Accessories
The accessory that is installed shall be within its shelf life.

HD 629.1 S3:2019 (E)
Separable connectors
For separable connectors, the conductor cross-section of the test cable shall be as defined in Table 3.
5.3 Assembly
Accessories shall be assembled in accordance with the manufacturer/supplier's instructions, using
the components and materials supplied or specified. A joint designed for crossed cores shall be
assembled with the cores crossed.
5.4 Terminations
Non range taking terminations shall be tested using the arrangements detailed in Figure 1.
Range taking terminations shall be tested using the arrangements detailed in Figure 2.
In all cases the number of samples shall be as defined in the appropriate figure.
5.5 Terminal boxes

A termination intended to be used in a metallic terminal box shall be tested in the specified terminal
box, which shall conform to the relevant standards (for example EN 50588-3).
For practical reasons, it is permissible to carry out the tests with the terminations enclosed in a test
terminal box fabricated from rigid metallic mesh or from insulating material lined with metal foil. The
box shall allow humidity ingress.
The test terminal box shall be of the same shape and dimensions (e.g. creepage lengths and
clearances) as the specified terminal box and be provided with conductor terminals and bushings of
the type used in service. The box selected for testing should represent the minimum clearance
applicable for the design to operate successfully.
When only one of the termination samples is required to be tested in the terminal box, the remote end
of the test cable may be terminated by any suitable means.
5.6 Joints and stop ends

Joints and stop ends shall be tested to withstand a water height of 1 m (equivalent to 10 kPa relative).
NOTE 1 For special applications and in situations subject to a high water table or prone to flooding, this height of
water may be insufficient to ensure the satisfactory performance of the moisture seals.
Where a water height of 1 m is deemed insufficient, upon agreement with the manufacturer/supplier,
accessories shall be tested using an increased water height of 20 m (equivalent to 200 kPa relative).
The water height used shall be recorded in the test report.
Testing at one water height demonstrates compliance for that water height only.
Testing at both 1 m and 20 m water heights demonstrates compliance at those water heights and at
all intermediate water heights.
NOTE 2 The equivalent water height can be achieved using a pressurized water tank.
Where a branch-joint is being tested, only the main cable shall carry heating current.
5.7 Separable connectors

Tests on separable connectors shall be performed with the separable connector installed on its mating
bushing providing an interface given in EN 50180 or EN 50181.
Unscreened separable connectors shall be tested at the minimum phase-to-phase and phase-to-earth
clearances recommended by the manufacturer/supplier.
The current value shall be sufficient to achieve the specified temperature of the cable conductor (see
9.1 of EN 61442:2005).

a) The use of the cross-sections in Table 3 may lead to overheating of the bushing
while achieving the required conductor temperature. Under these circumstances, it is

permissible to use a conductor one size smaller. If bushing failure occurs, the test will
be declared void (see 8.3).
b) MV Cables with 2 500 A rating are not readily available. Separable connectors for
this rating are therefore tested with a dual cable connection, where two cables
connected in parallel each supply half of the total current.
c) The equipment bushing short circuit rating of 25xI (4.3 of EN 60137) is limiting the
r
short circuit current value.
Cross-sections listed are selected to reach the cable short circuit temperature θ sc .
d) Sequence D2/E2 can be done on cable cross section from D1/E1.
5.8 Test arrangements and number of samples

Test arrangements and number of samples are summarised in Table 1, Table 2, Table 4 and Table 5
and detailed in Figure 1 to Figure 6 for terminations, joints and stop ends, and in Figure 7 and
Figure 8 for separable connectors.
These figures represent examples of test arrangements. Other arrangements and combinations of
different types of accessories in one loop are permitted.
6 Extent of compliance
6.1 General
Compliance shall extend the use of an accessory on cables of the same U 0 as the test cable but with
equal or greater nominal insulation thickness. The converse shall not apply.
Compliance of an accessory tested for a specified U 0 shall extend to operation of the accessory at a
lower U 0 provided that the radial electrical stress at the insulation screen of the cable of lower U 0 is
not greater than that of the test cable. Compliance of separable connectors used at a lower U 0 is
subject to an additional requirement for screen fault initiation testing (see 6.5).
Compliance is independent of the cable conductor material; tests may be carried out with either
aluminium or copper conductors.
Compliance shall extend to all dynamic short circuit classes lower than that tested.
6.2 Non range taking terminations, joints and stop ends

Compliance for one type of accessory is defined in 5.2.1.
Extension of compliance for the same design of accessory to smaller or larger cable cross-sections
shall be obtained by satisfactory completion of relevant tests, according to Table 4.
NOTE "Same design" includes: same architecture, same manufacturing process, same conception, same materials, same
sealings, compatible electrical stress (maximum electrical stress less or equal to the maximum electric stress at the tested

6.3 Range taking terminations, joints and stop ends

Tests carried out on the limits of the accessory application range, according to 5.2.2, give compliance
for cross sections tested and intermediate cross sections.
Extension of compliance for the same design of accessory to smaller or larger cable cross-sections
shall be obtained by satisfactory completion of relevant tests, according to Table 5.
NOTE Same design includes: same architecture, same manufacturing process, same conception, same materials, same
sealings, compatible electrical stress (maximum electrical stress less or equal to the maximum electric stress at the tested
cable accessory interface), compatible interfaces (interfaces of same or longer lengths between conductive parts). Other
differences observed between accessories are subject to an agreement between manufacturer/supplier and purchaser.

6.4 Terminations
Compliance for a particular design of termination in a specified terminal box shall be obtained by the
satisfactory completion of the test sequence in Table 10. If compliance has already been obtained for
a termination design separate from the terminal box, it is necessary to carry out the test sequence
with only one of the terminations in a terminal box.
Satisfactory completion of the appropriate tests of Table 10 for a termination for one design of
terminal box may allow the compliance to be extended to that termination in another terminal box
design by comparison of the detail drawings of the boxes. If there are differences in the design and/or
dimensions, the impulse voltage test at ambient temperature shall be repeated, by agreement
between the manufacturer/supplier and the customer.

6.5 Separable connectors

Compliance for one type of separable connector, for the cross-section tested, shall be obtained by
successfully completing all the tests of Table 14 or Table 15 on the cross-section specified in Table 3.
In addition, for screened separable connectors, the screen fault current initiation test shall be done
at the lowest U 0 for which compliance is required.
Extension of the range of compliance for the same type of separable connector to smaller cable
conductor cross-sections shall be obtained by successfully completing the additional test sequence
in Table 17, on the appropriate smaller cross-section.
Extension of the range of compliance for the same type of separable connector to larger cable
conductor cross-sections shall be obtained by successfully completing the additional test sequence
in Table 18, on the appropriate larger cross-section.
6.6 Connectors
The accessory qualification can be extended to an alternative connector, provided that the following
minimum requirements are satisfied (stop ends are excluded):
1. An accessory with an alternative connector shall be positively tested according to the test
sequence of Table 16 on the largest conductor size possible.
2. The alternative connector shall be qualified according to EN 61238-1, and shall be of the same
class as the qualified one and of the same cable conductor type.
3a. For joints and terminations, the alternative connector shall have the same technology (for
example: mechanical, compression) and a similar design criteria as the qualified one (see
Table 6).
3b. For separable connectors, different technologies and similar design criteria can be applied for
the barrel only (see Table 7). The palm of these lugs is usually adapted to a specific design of
separable connector.
4. If the alternative connector does not satisfy all of the requirements in points 2 and 3 above,
then relevant type tests according to Tables 10 to 15 shall be performed.

6.7 Cable constructions

Accessories demonstrating compliance when tested on cables with shaped conductors are compliant
when used on cables with circular conductors without further testing. Accessories tested using circular
conductors demonstrate compliance with shaped conductors after successful completion of tests in
Table 10 to Table 15, test sequences A1, B1, C1, D1 and E1.
Compliance is dependent on the cable insulation as detailed in Table 8.
Table 8 — Cable insulation compliance
Test cable insulation Range of compliance

EPR or HEPR EPR, HEPR
NOTE: This table is only valid for cable insulation with the same or
lower operating temperature. Any other insulation should be subject
to separate compliance testing.
Accessories tested on cables with one type of non-metallic insulation screen demonstrate compliance
when used with another type of non-metallic insulation screen after successful completion of tests in
Table 10 to Table 15, test sequences A1, B1, C1, D1 and E1.
Accessories demonstrating compliance when tested on a cable without longitudinal water-blocking in

the metallic screen area are compliant when used on a cable with means of longitudinal water-
blocking in the metallic screen area but otherwise of the same design without further testing. The
converse shall not apply.
6.8 Three-core to single core accessory

Compliance obtained for a three-core accessory can be extended to a single-core accessory of the
same design by performing the tests specified in Table 9.
The converse shall not apply.

NOTE Triplex cables are handled as single core cables

Visual examination
C.1 Method
Accessories shall be dismantled as far as is practicable to reveal the principal components. Where
possible this should be done layer by layer. This may be facilitated by using the manufacturer/supplier
instructions to identify each step.
Particular attention should be paid to the condition of primary seals and to their effectiveness in
preventing the ingress of moisture.
The examination procedure should include the identification of any cracks, splits, corrosion, leakage
of insulation material, evidence of over-heating or thermo-mechanical effects.
At least all identified items marked ”Yes” in the examination sheet shall be described in the report
and illustrated with photographs.
NOTE It is helpful to make photographs at all stages of the examination.
C.2 Examination Sheet

The examination, which is done by visual inspection, shall be on components of the accessory and
on the layers of the cables. The following items shall be examined:
Presence of water or moisture beyond the sealing barriers 1) :  No  Yes

Presence of corrosion on any metallic parts  No  Yes
Indication of possible electrical degradation in primary insulation:
Accessory  No  Yes
Cable  No  Yes
Indication of possible mechanical degradation:
Dielectric parts  No  Yes

Water tightness areas  No  Yes
Indication of possible thermal degradation  No  Yes
Leakage of insulating material 2) :  No  Yes
Obvious shrinkage of cable components  No  Yes
Move between accessory components 3)  No  Yes
———————
1) In the case of doubt, a test can be performed with a colour indicator (for example powdered anhydrous copper sulphate),
or blotting paper can be used as a detector.
2) Any leakage of material involved in the insulation of the accessory shall be reported.
3) Mastic is allowed to flow.
