Overhead lines - Methods for testing self-damping characteristics of conductors (IEC 62567:2013); German version EN 62567:2013
Freileitungen - Methoden zur Prüfung der Eigendämpfungseigenschaften von Leitern (IEC 62567:2013); Deutsche Fassung EN 62567:2013
Overview
The scope of this standard is to provide test procedures based on the afore-mentioned documents and devoted to minimize the causes of discrepancy between test results, taking into consideration the large experience accumulated in the last 30 years by numerous test engineers and available in literature, including a CIGRE Technical Brochure specifically referring to this standard. This standard describes the current methodologies, including apparatus, procedures and accuracies, for the measurement of conductor self-damping and for the data reduction formats. In addition, some basic guidance is also provided to inform the potential user of a given method's strengths and weaknesses. The methodologies and procedures incorporated in this standard are applicable only to testing on indoor laboratory spans. The responsible body is DKE/K 421 "Freileitungen" ("Overhead lines") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
