Aerospace series - Test specification for verification of the permeability of electrical insulation

This document specifies a test that determines the ability of electrical equipment to withstand wet atmospheres in combination with variable ambient air pressure in particular in an aircraft installation. The main adverse effects to be anticipated are fluid ingress and related insulation breakdown.

Luft- und Raumfahrt - Testverfahren zur Überprüfung der elektrischen Isolationsfestigkeit

Dieses Dokument legt eine Prüfung fest, die die Fähigkeit elektrischer Geräte bestimmt, feuchten Atmosphären in Kombination mit wechselndem Luftdruck in der Umgebungsluft, insbesondere in einer Flugzeuginstallation, zu widerstehen. Die wichtigsten zu erwartenden nachteiligen Auswirkungen sind das Eindringen von Flüssigkeit und der damit verbundene Ausfall der Isolierung.

Série aérospatiale - Spécification d’essai pour la vérification de la perméabilité de l’isolation électrique

Le présent document spécifie un essai qui détermine la capacité des équipements électriques à résister aux atmosphères humides combinées à une pression atmosphérique ambiante variable, en particulier dans une installation d'aéronef. Les principaux effets indésirables à prévoir sont la pénétration de fluides et la rupture d'isolement qui en découle.

Aeronavtika - Specifikacija preskusa za preverjanje prepustnosti izolacije električne opreme

Ta dokument določa preskus za določitev sposobnosti električne opreme, da prenese vlažno okolje v kombinaciji s spremenljivim tlakom zunanjega zraka, zlasti v letalih. Glavna škodljiva učinka, ki ju je mogoče predvideti, sta vdor tekočine in s tem povezan izpad izolacije.
