Aerospace series - Cables, electrical, aircraft use - Test methods - Part 603: Resistance to wet arc tracking

This standard specifies a method of assessing the behaviour of cable insulation subject to an electric arc initiated by contaminating fluid along the surface of the insulation.
This Standard shall be used together with EN 3475-100.
The primary aim of this test is to produce, in a controlled fashion the failure effects, which are representative of those, which may occur in service when a typical cable bundle is damaged and subjected to aqueous fluid contamination. Electrical arcing occurs along the surface of the insulation between damage sites on adjacent cables.
Unless otherwise specified in the technical/product standard sizes 002, 006 and 020 cable shall be assessed.
Six levels of prospective fault current have been specified for cable sizes 001 to 050.

Luft- und Raumfahrt - Elektrische Leitungen für Luftfahrtverwendung - Prüfverfahren - Teil 603: Lichtbogenfestigkeit, feucht

Diese Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Beurteilung des Verhaltens der Isolierung einer Leitung gegenüber einem elektrischen Lichtbogen fest, der durch eine Verunreinigungsflüssigkeit entlang der Oberfläche der Isolierung erzeugt wird.
Diese Norm muss in Verbindung mit EN 3475 100 angewendet werden.
Der Hauptzweck dieser Prüfung besteht darin, auf geregelte Weise Fehlereffekte zu erzeugen, die repräsentativ sind für solche, die im Betrieb auftreten können, wenn ein typisches Leitungsbündel beschädigt und einer Verunreinigung durch wässrige Flüssigkeit ausgesetzt wird. Der elektrische Lichtbogen entsteht entlang der Isolierung zwischen den beschädigten Stellen der benachbarten Leitungen.
Sofern nicht anderes in der Technischen Lieferbedingung/Produktnorm festgelegt ist, müssen die Leitungs-größen 002, 006 und 020 bewertet werden.
Sechs prospektive Fehlerstromwerte wurden für die Leitungsgrößen 001 bis 050 festgelegt.

Clean each length of cable with a clean cloth moistened with propan-2-ol (isopropyl alcohol) fluid. Damage two lengths of the cable by inflicting a cut around the total circumference at the mid-point of the length, taking care to ensure that the cut penetrates to the conductor around the full circumference and has a width of 0,5 mm to 1,0 mm.

EN 3475-603:2007 (E) 5 4.2 Lay up the seven cables as follows: a) Form the cables in a six around one configuration as shown in Figure 1. b) Displace the damaged cables longitudinally such that a separation of (10 ± 0,5) mm of undamaged insulation is provided as shown in Figure 2. This is called the test zone. c) Ensure that cables are straight and geometrically parallel, and restrained by ties such that they are in continuous contact within the test zone. d) Position the ties (4 ± 1,0) mm away from outer each notch and then at 15 mm to 20 mm spacing towards the ends of the specimen as show in Figure 2. The tie material used adjacent to the notch shall be PTFE glass lacing tape conforming to A-A-52083 type IV, finish D, size 3. e) Number the cables as shown in Figure 1 such that the fault cables are numbers A1 and B1 and the centre is N. Cables C1, A2, B2 and C2 are grouped around N.
