IEC 60794-1-401/FRAGF ED1

Optical fibre cables - Part 1-401: Generic specification - Basic optical cable test procedures - Electrical test methods - Short-circuit test (for OPGW, OPPC and OPAC), Method H1

Scope

IEC 60794-1-401:2021 applies to the short-circuit test intended to assess the performance of an optical ground wire (OPGW) or optical phase conductor (OPPC) under typical short-circuit, or the impact on the performance of optical attached cable (OPAC) under short-circuit current on the messenger wire. This first edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 60794-1-24 published in 2014. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) OPPC is included;
b) the test methods have been updated.
