Aerospace series - Cables, electric, general purpose, with conductors in aluminium or copper-clad aluminium - Part 004: ADA family, single and multicore assembly - Product standard

This document specifies the characteristics of UV laser printable electrical lightweight wires ADA family for use in the on-board 115 V (phase to neutral) or 200 V (phase-to-phase) AC, 28 VDC electrical systems of aircraft at operating temperatures between −65 °C and 180 °C. These cables are demonstrated to be arc resistant in sizes AWG 26 to 14 (115 VAC/200 VAC).
In addition, these cables can be suitable for use at 230 VAC/400 VAC in pressurized zones only when installed to take account of possible short circuit effects.
Other electrical system configurations are the responsibility of the users.
It is also possible to mark these cables by qualified compatible marking which satisfies the requirements of EN 3838:2022.

Série aérospatiale - Câbles électriques, d’usage général, avec conducteurs en aluminium ou en aluminium chemisé cuivre - Partie 004 : Famille ADA, mono et multiconducteurs - Norme de produit

Le présent document spécifie les caractéristiques de la famille ADA de fils électriques allégés marquables par laser UV utilisés dans les systèmes électriques de bord des aéronefs 115 V (phase à neutre) ou 200 V (phase à phase), 28 VCC, à des températures de fonctionnement comprises entre −65 °C et 180 °C. Ces câbles ont démontré leur résistance aux arcs électriques dans les calibres AWG 26 à 14 (115 VCA/200 VCA).
En outre, ces câbles peuvent être adaptés à une utilisation à 230 VCA/400 VCA dans des zones pressurisées uniquement s'ils sont installés de manière à prendre en compte les effets d'un éventuel court-circuit.
Les autres configurations de systèmes électriques relèvent de la responsabilité des utilisateurs.
Il est également possible de marquer ces câbles par des marquages compatibles qualifiés qui satisfont aux exigences de l’EN 3838:2022.
