1 Scope

The EN 50483 series applies to overhead line fittings for tensioning, supporting and connecting aerial bundled cables (ABC) of rated voltage U₀/U (U_m): 0,6/1 (1,2) kV.

This document defines the environmental tests in particular the climatic and corrosion ageing tests. The objective of these tests is to predict the behaviour of ABC accessories when subjected to sun radiation, to weather conditions (humidity, spraying water, heat, cold) and pollution. EN 50483‑1, EN 50483‑2, EN 50483‑3 and EN 50483‑4 specify which type tests included in this part of the standard are needed.
