23、 covering made of insulating material as protection against accidental contacts with other covered conductors and with grounded parts such as tree branches, etc. In comparison with insulated conductors, this covering has reduced properties, but is able to withstand the phase-to-earth voltage tempora
24、rily. Since covered conductors are unscreened, they are not touch-proof, i.e. they must be treated as bare conductors with respect to electric shock. EN 50397-2 does not cover aspects related to the installation of overhead lines such as determination of clearances, spans, sags, etc. BS EN 50397-2:2
25、009EN 50397-2:2009 6 1 Scope This Part 2 of EN 50397 contains the requirements for accessories that are for use with the covered conductors in accordance with EN 50397-1. They are for applications in overhead lines with rated voltages U above 1 kV a.c. and not exceeding 36 kV a.c. NOTE This European
26、 Standard describes the requirements and tests only for the accessories installed on the covered conductor itself. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

45、ed tensile strength (RTS) of the conductor. They can be watertight or not. If they are watertight, they shall prevent moisture ingress in the conductor.

46、red conductors over the covering fitting shall include, but are not limited to, the following: - cone, bolted or wedge type clamp; - preformed helical fittings. The fittings shall be able to withstand the specific minimum failure load (SMFL) and shall not damage the covering and shall be designed to
47、 prevent the ingress of moisture during service. NOTE “shall not damage the covering” means no damage shall occur which could affect the correct function of the covering. 4.2.2 Suspension and top clamps Fittings for the purpose of suspension over the covering include, but are not limited to the foll
48、owing: - top-clamps; - pre-formed helical fittings; - suspension clamp according to EN 61284, 11.4. The fittings shall not damage the covering and shall be designed to prevent the ingress of moisture during service. NOTE “shall not damage the covering” means no damage shall occur which could affect
49、the correct function of the covering. The suspension clamps shall be so designed that the effects of vibration, both on the covered conductor and on the clamps themselves, are minimised. The clamps shall be designed to avoid localized pressure or damage to the covered conductor. If needed the suspension clamps shall have sufficient current carrying capability to avoid damage by fault currents. The wear resistance of the articulation assembly shall be sufficient to prevent deterioration in service.
