EN 50483 series applies to overhead line fittings for tensioning, supporting and connecting
aerial bundled cables (ABC) of rated voltage U0/U (Um): 0,6/1 (1,2) kV.
This Part 5 applies to the connections described in EN 50483-4, including branch connectors,
Insulation Piercing Connectors (IPC), pre-insulated lugs (terminals) and through pre-insulated
connectors (sleeves).
The objective is to provide a method of testing the suitability of connectors when used under
normal operating conditions with low voltage aerial bundled cables complying with HD 626.
