Scope

IEC 61300-2-5:2009(E) Establishes a test to determine the ability of the cable attachment element of the device under test to withstand torsional loads, as might be experienced during installation and normal service, while under tension. The scope of the test also includes those elements designed for ribbon cables. Specific technical changes from the previous edition are as follows:
- the title was changed;
- the procedure was reconsidered;
- the figure of the closure set-up was added;
- the severity of the test was reconsidered according to the component.
