Aerospace series - Electrical cables, installation - Protection sleeves - Test methods - Part 502: Resistance to electrical arcs
This standard specifies a method of assessing the behaviour of protection sleeves or conduits subject to an external electric arc, ever at 115 Vac or 230 Vac 400 Hz.
This standard shall be used together with EN 6059-100.
The primary aim of this test is to produce, in a controlled fashion, electric arcs at the immediate vicinity of a protection sleeve or conduit and to examine possible consequences on cables inside this protection, which are supposed to be maintained in a safe condition. These electric arcs are representative of those, which may occur in service when a typical cable bundle is severely damaged.
In order to optimize thickness and mass of such protection, it is necessary to associate a current limit In to each sleeves or conduits construction.
Two levels of prospective fault current are specified for all protection sizes.
Luft- und Raumfahrt - Elektrische Leitungen, Installation - Schutzschläuche - Prüfverfahren - Teil 502: Lichtbogenfestigkeit
Diese Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Beurteilung des Verhaltens von Schutzschläuchen oder -rohren gegenüber
einem von außen einwirkenden elektrischen Lichtbogen bei jeweils 115 V oder 230 V Wechselspannung
400 Hz fest.
Diese Norm muss in Verbindung mit EN 6059-100 angewendet werden.
Der Hauptzweck dieser Prüfung besteht darin, in unmittelbarer Nähe eines Schutzschlauches oder -rohres auf
geregelte Weise Lichtbögen zu erzeugen und mögliche Auswirkungen auf die innerhalb dieses Schutzes
befindlichen Leitungen zu untersuchen, die in einem sicheren Zustand beibehalten werden sollen. Diese Lichtbögen
sind repräsentativ für die Lichtbögen, die während des Betriebes auftreten können, wenn ein typisches
Leitungsbündel stark beschädigt ist.
Um die Dicke und Masse eines derartigen Schutzes zu optimieren, ist es erforderlich, jedem Aufbau von
Schutzschläuchen oder -rohren einen Grenzstrom In zuzuordnen.
Zwei Werte für einen unbeeinflussten Fehlerstrom wurden für alle Größen von Schutzschläuchen/-rohren festgelegt.

Unless otherwise specified in the concerned technical product standard, at least one size of protection sleeve
per sleeve thickness or construction type (if different from one size to another) shall be assessed.
If possible for each thickness or construction type the test must be performed on a sample having the
minimum authorized thickness or minimum authorized mass.
4 Definition and preparation of specimen
4.1 Protected bundle (bundle P)
Bundles P are made of arc tracking resistant cables, typically from EN 2267-010 product standard unless
otherwise specified in the concerned protection sleeves product standard, with bundle external protection to
be tested.
The cable bundle outer diameter shall be as closed as possible to the internal diameter of the protection to be
tested. This diameter is obtained:
with a full assembly of size 24 cables, or
with a central part in various cable types covered with a full and uniform layer of size 24 cables.
For open protection sleeves with an overlapping, in any case the overlap must be placed in front of the short
circuit area.
4.2 Aggressive bundle (bundle A)
4.2.1 Definition and constitution
Bundles A are made of 7 arc-tracking resistant cables, typically from EN 2267-010 product standard unless
otherwise specified in the concerned protection sleeves product standard, without bundle external protection.
The short circuit will be created on these bundles (see 4.3).
The cables gauge is chosen in Table 1, in accordance with the In limit specified for the protection sleeves.
Table 1 — Choice of cable gauge
In Amp.
3 5 7,5 10 10 15 20 25 50
CB ratings
Gauge 26 24 22 20 18 16 14 12 10
Circuit breaker used to protect these cables must be also in accordance with Table 1.
EXAMPLE If the sleeve must provide a 15 amp. protection, take gauge 16 cables to built the bundle with 15 amp.
CB ratings.
For information the diameter of the bundle will be three times the cable diameter.

4.2.2 Preparation
Cut seven separate lengths of approximately 0,5 m consecutively from one length of cable, and strip one of
the ends of insulation to permit electrical connection. Clean each length of cable with a clean cloth moistened
with propan-2-ol (isopropyl alcohol) fluid.
4.2.3 Lay up the seven cables as follows
a) Form the cables in a six around one configuration as shown in Figure 1.
