The standard plays a pivotal role in the exchange of data between different software tools. When Electrical CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software exports a project, it often uses the frameworks defined in IEC standards to generate the metadata for the files. If your workflow involves exporting data to a client who uses a different software suite, the IEC 61394 classification acts as the bridge, ensuring the metadata aligns correctly.

The standard requires the conductor manufacturer to provide a certificate of compliance. However, for large projects, you may perform verification tests according to Clause 7 of the standard. You will need the PDF to set up these QA procedures.

Absolutely not. Ordinary greases contain sulfur or other additives that aggressively corrode aluminum. IEC 61394 specifically requires lubricants that are chemically inert to aluminum conductors over decades of service.

This standard specifies mechanical, electrical, and thermal requirements for metallic fittings used with composite (non-ceramic) insulators in overhead power lines. It applies to fittings for nominal voltages above 1 kV AC and 1.5 kV DC.
