55 EV Cable Secureness Test55.1 EV cables provided with EV supply equipment, and permanently attached to this equipment, or EVcables provided with EV plugs or EV connectors, shall be subjected to the test outlined in 55.2 - 55.4. After this test, there shall be no axial displacement of the supply conductors, conductor insulation, or outer jacket of the EV cable from the assembled condition exceeding the maximum allowed displacement as specified in Table 25. In addition, there shall be no evidence of damage to the EV cable, the enclosure of live parts, the strain relief means, or the grounding path integrity.55.2 The device shall be assembled as intended onto a 300 mm (12 inch), or longer, length of cable with its conductors positioned as if the conductors were to be connected to the terminals. Screws, nuts, or other hardware shall be tightened according to the manufacturer's instructions. The cable shall be cut at a right angle to its major axis but not stripped.55.3 The cable clamp shall be held firmly in place. A force equivalent to the pressure of 1.034 N/mm2 (150 1b/in2) times the cross sectional area of the EV cable [rounded up to the nearest 22.2 N (5 Ib) increment], but not less than 156 N (35 Ibs), shall be applied gradually to the EV cable at a point not less than 150 mm (6 inches) from the cable grip in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the opening and in line with the cable. The force shall be applied and sustained for one minute.55.4 A torque shall also be applied to the EV cable at a point 150 mm (6 inches) from the cable grip as specified in Table 25 for one minute in the direction least favorable to the clamp construction.
