What is BS EN 3475-501- Resistance of an insulated conductor about?
BS EN 3475-501 specifies a method of measuring the resistance to cut-through of an insulated conductor or jacket. This test is limited to cables smaller than code 140 (gauge size 6) and insulations with a thickness of 0,38 mm or less. It shall be used together with EN 3475-100.
BS EN 3475-501 has been prepared by the European Association of Aerospace Manufacturers (AECMA). BS EN 3475-501 covers the preparation of specimens, apparatus, requirements, and method of measuring the resistance to cut-through of an insulated conductor.
Who is BS EN 3475-501 - Resistance of an insulated conductor for?
BS EN 3475-501 on test methods for measuring the resistance of an insulated conductor is useful for:
- Electric cables inspectors
- Aerospace products manufacturers
- Testing agencies involved in the inspection of aerospace products
- Quality control personnel for spacecraft products
- Aeronautical engineers
- Aerospace researchers
Why should you use BS EN 3475-501- Resistance of an insulated conductor?
Aerospace electrical cables sustain intense vibration during take-off, flight, and landing, while also being subject to harsh environmental conditions. Cable faults cost money and create disruption, so there is an enormous demand for cable test techniques to ensure cables and joints are in good condition.
BS EN 3475-501 provides best practice guidelines on the test methods for measuring the resistance of an insulated conductor of electric cables in aircraft systems. BS EN 3475-501 is important because it helps enhance the product quality and end-user satisfaction. By adopting BS EN 3475-501 guidelines, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
The guidelines in BS EN 3475-501, ensure the efficiency of aircraft systems, thereby preventing damage and danger to aircraft cables during use.
