IEC 61914 Cable Clamps Test for Electrical Installations

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC 61914 testing. This standard specifies requirements and tests for cable locks and intermediate restraints used to secure cable in electrical installations.

Cable locks provide resistance to electromechanical forces where they are declared. This standard includes cable clamps based on a mounting surface specified by the manufacturer for axial or lateral holding of cables.

This standard includes the following important technical changes:

• Lateral load holding test based on lock mounting direction with additional declaration and relevant new figures;
• Additional declaration of distance between cable centers in any short-circuit test and relevant new figures;
• Specifications of the cable to be used in short circuit test and relaxation of ambient temperature limits for testing;
• Additional requirement to photograph the short-circuit test arrangement before and after the test and to record more complete details of the cable used;
• Revised parameters for UV light resistance testing.
