The objective is to pro

18、vide a method of testing the suitability of accessories when used under normal operating conditions with low voltage aerial bundled cables complying with HD 626. This Part 6 defines the environmental tests in particular the climatic and corrosion ageing tests. The objective of these tests is to pred

19、ict 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. Climate differs across Europe

20、 and in order to meet the differing geographic climatic conditions it is necessary to provide a range of tests to meet these variations. A range of optional, additional tests is provided to meet the varying climatic needs and these should be agreed between the customer and the supplier (see Annex C)

21、. NOTE 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 direc

22、tly claim approval to this European Standard. 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 standard, provided an assessment is ma

23、de 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. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

33、umber of cycles The number of samples and number of cycles for each of the following tests are included in each relevant part of EN 50483. 8.2 Requirements The requirements for the following tests shall be as given in the relevant parts of this standard. 8.3 Cleaning On completion of the environment

34、al tests, and between different environmental tests when carried out as a sequence, the samples shall, unless otherwise specified, be cleaned using running tap water for 5 min to 10 min and then by using demineralised water for the same period. The temperature of the water shall not exceed 35 C. The

35、 samples shall be dried either by shaking by hand or using air blast to remove droplets of water. 8.4 Corrosion ageing tests These tests shall be carried out when the products contain metallic parts (or parts protected with a metallic coating), which are exposed to the atmosphere. A justification of

36、 the tests is given in Annex A. 8.4.1 Salt mist test 8.4.1.1 Principle This test exposes samples to a neutral salt spray (concentration of NaCl: 5 %). 8.4.1.2 Test equipment The test equipment is defined in Clause 3 of EN 60068-2-11:1999. 8.4.1.3 Test arrangement The preparation and use of the salt

37、solution is defined in Clause 4 of EN 60068-2-11:1999. 8.4.1.4 Procedure The test procedure is defined in Clause 7 of EN 60068-2-11:1999. The connectors or accessories shall be installed as defined in the relevant parts of EN 50483. The cycle duration prescribed, in accordance with EN 60068-2-11:199

38、9, 7.6 shall be 7 days. No cleaning of the samples shall be carried out between cycles. 8.4.1.5 Test reports The test report shall include the duration of exposure and the concentration and pH of the salt solution. 8.4.2 Gas atmosphere tests NOTE 1 Two methods of testing are provided to meet the req

39、uirements of the gas atmosphere test. The first, Method 1, is based on the test procedure that has been used for many years in some countries. These countries have gained experience of both the procedures and outcomes of the test. The second, Method 2 is provided as an alternative as it requires a l

40、ess complicated test environment and is based on ASTM G85. NOTE 2 This test may be necessary for accessories that are used in areas subjected to heavy industrial pollution. 8.4.2.1 Gas atmosphere test (Method 1) A justification of the tests is given in Annex A. BS EN 50483-6:2009 7 EN 50483-6:2009 8

41、.4.2.1.1 Principle This test exposes samples to a humidity-saturated atmosphere rich with sulphur dioxide (initial concentration SO2: 0,066 7 % (667 parts per million by volume) with defined conditions of temperature and pressure. 8.4.2.1.2 Test equipment The samples and supports shall be installed

42、in a hermetic test chamber, with a humidity-saturated atmosphere in the presence of sulphur dioxide. This test chamber shall be made of inert material. The test shall be made in accordance with EN ISO 3231. 8.4.2.1.3 Preparation of SO2atmosphere After closing the chamber, sulphur dioxide (concentrat

43、ion = 0,066 7 %) shall be introduced from either a gas bottle or using a specific reaction in the chamber as described in Annex B. 8.4.2.1.4 Procedure Each period, or basic module, shall comprise a weekly sequence. 7 cycles of 24 h (168 h total), each cycle includes an 8 h exposure with saturated hu

44、midity and high sulphur dioxide atmosphere (a total exposure of 56 h), and a 16 h exposure at the laboratory atmosphere (a total exposure of 112 h). NOTE Exposure to laboratory atmosphere may be achieved by opening the chamber door. It is the intention of this phase to allow clean air to circulate a

45、round the test samples. During the 8 h period, the temperature is raised to (40 3) C. During the 16 h period the chamber remains at ambient temperature and finally the water and sulphur dioxide atmosphere is renewed to the concentration as specified in 8.4.2.1.3. 8.4.2.1.5 Cleaning When the specimen

46、s are exposed successively to a neutral salt spray and then to a humidity saturated atmosphere with sulphur dioxide, the procedure shall be - 7 cycles of 24 h in salt, - no cleaning, - 7 cycles of 24 h in sulphur dioxide, - cleaning in accordance with 8.3. 8.4.2.2 Gas atmosphere test (Method 2) 8.4.

47、2.2.1 Procedure The test samples shall be subjected to a cyclic corrosion test consisting of 1 h period of drying and 1 h period of fog. The test shall consist of 500 cycles (1 000 h). The fog period shall be at ambient temperature, while the drying time shall be at a higher temperature. NOTE Experi

48、ence indicates that longer cycle times may produce slower degradation. 8.4.2.2.2 Test equipment The apparatus for salt spray (fog) testing consists of a fog chamber, a salt solution reservoir, a supply of suitable conditioned compressed air, one or more atomising nozzles, specimen supports, provisio

49、n for heating the chamber, and necessary means of control. The size and detailed construction of the cabinet are optional, provided the conditions obtained meet the requirements of this standard. The material of construction shall be such that it will not be affected by the corrosiveness of the fog. The chamber shall be designed so that drops of solution that accumulate on the ceiling or cover of the chamber do not fall on the specimen being test
