Aircraft batteries - Part 2: Design and construction requirements

IEC 60952-2:2013 defines the physical design, construction and material requirements for nickel-cadmium and lead-acid aircraft batteries containing vented or valve-regulated cells or monoblocs. The batteries are used for both general purposes and specific aerospace applications. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2004. This new edition includes those formats that can be standardized along with their connectors and electrical interfaces.

Flugzeugbatterien – Teil 2: Anforderungen für Entwurf und Konstruktion

Batteries d'aéronefs - Partie 2: Exigences de conception et de construction

La CEI 60952-2:2013 définit les exigences de conception, de construction et de matériau des batteries au nickel-cadmium et au plomb d'aéronefs contenant des éléments ou monoblocs ouverts ou à soupape. Les batteries sont utilisées tant pour les usages généraux que pour des applications spécifiques aérospatiales. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2004. Cette nouvelle édition inclut des formats qui peuvent être normalisés au même titre que leurs connecteurs et leurs interfaces électriques.

Letalske baterije - 2. del: Načrtovanje in konstrukcijske zahteve (IEC 60952-2:2013)

Ta del skupine standardov IEC 60952 določa fizično načrtovanje, konstrukcijske in materialne zahteve za nikelj-kadmijeve in svinčeno-kislinske letalske baterije s celicami ali monobloki s prezračevanjem ali z ventilsko regulacijo. Baterije se uporabljajo za splošne namene in za posebno uporabo v aeronavtiki. Posebne teme iz tega dela se uporabljajo pri določitvi sprejemljivih standardov kakovosti, potrebnih za kvalifikacijo baterije kot plovne, kot je opredeljeno v točki 3 standarda IEC 60952-1:2013. Prednostni razponi letalskih baterij so opredeljeni v dodatku A, vendar se lahko ta del skupine standardov IEC 60952 uporablja za druge velikosti, razporeditve in nazivne vrednosti baterij. Za posebne uporabe so lahko predpisane druge zahteve glede načrtovanja. Te se uporabljajo poleg zahtev iz tega dela in so zajete v posameznih dokumentih. Priznava se, da lahko druge organizacije zahtevajo dodatne podatke (nacionalni organi za standarde, AECMA, SAE itd.). Ta standard se lahko uporablja kot okvir za pripravo preskusov za pridobivanje zahtevanih podatkov.
