Aerospace series - Cables, electrical, aircraft use - Test methods - Part 604: Resistance to dry arc propagation

This European standard specifies a method for appraising the behaviour of cable insulation when an electric arc is initiated and maintained by two powered cables rubbing against a blade.
This European Standard shall be used together with EN 3475 100.
The primary aim of this test is:
—   to produce, in a controlled fashion, continuous failure effects which are representative of those which may occur in service when a typical cable bundle is damaged by abrasion such that electrical arcing occurs, both between cables and between cables and conductive structure, and
—   to examine the aptitude of the insulation to track, to propagate electric arc to the electrical origin.
Originally defined for 115 Vac network, this test also proposes conditions for 230 Vac network. Unless otherwise specified in product standard, only 115 Vac conditions shall be satisfied.
Six levels of prospective fault current have been specified for concerned cable sizes (see Clause 7). It is generally agreed that larger sizes need not be assessed since the short-circuit phenomenon becomes dominant at low line impedances.
Unless otherwise specified in the technical/product standard sizes 002, 006 and 020 cable shall be assessed.

Luft- und Raumfahrt - Elektrische Leitungen für Luftfahrtverwendung - Prüfverfahren - Teil 604: Lichtbogenfestigkeit, trocken

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Beurteilung des Verhaltens der Isolierung einer Leitung gegenüber einem elektrischen Lichtbogen fest, der durch eine Verunreinigungsflüssigkeit entlang der Ober-fläche der Isolierung erzeugt und aufrechterhalten wird.
Diese Europäische Norm ist in Verbindung mit EN 3475-100 anzuwenden.
Der Hauptzweck dieser Prüfung besteht darin,
- auf geregelte Weise kontinuierliche Fehlereffekte zu erzeugen, die repräsentativ sind für solche, wie sie im Betrieb auftreten können, wenn ein typisches Leitungsbündel beschädigt und einer Verunreinigung durch wässrige Flüssigkeit ausgesetzt wird. Der elektrische Lichtbogen entsteht entlang der Oberfläche der Isolierung zwischen beschädigten Stellen an benachbarten Leitungen, und
- die Eignung der Isolierung dahingehend zu untersuchen, die Fortpflanzung des elektrischen Lichtbogens zum elektrischen Ausgangspunkt zurückzuverfolgen.
Ursprünglich für das 115-V-Wechselspannung-Netz festgelegt, deckt diese Prüfung auch Bedingungen für das 230-V-Wechselspannung-Netz ab. Sofern nicht anders in der Produktnorm festgelegt, müssen nur die 115-V-Wechselspannung-Bedingungen erfüllt werden.
Sechs (6) voraussichtliche Fehlerstromwerte wurden für die betreffenden Leitungsgrößen (siehe Ab-schnitt 7) festgelegt. Es wurde vereinbart, dass Größen, die größer als 051 sind, nicht bewertet werden, da das Kurzschlussphänomen bei niedrigen Leitungsimpedanzen vorherrscht.
Sofern nicht anders in den technischen Normen/Produktnormen festgelegt, sind Leitungen der Größen 002, 006 und 020 zu bewerten.

EN 3475-604:2018 (E) 5 4 Preparation of specimen 4.1 Cut seven (7) separate lengths of approximately 0,5 m consecutively from one length of cable, and strip each 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 Lay up the seven (7) cables as follows: a) Form the cables in a six around one configuration as shown in Figure 1. b) Ensure that all cables are straight and geometrically parallel, and restrained by lacing tapes such that they are in continuous contact for at least a 75 mm continuous length around the mid point of the loom length. This is called the test zone. c) Position the lacing tapes at 15 mm to 20 mm spacing within the test zone. The tie material shall be PTFE glass lacing tape conforming to A-A-52083 type IV, finish D, size 3. d) Number the cables as shown in Figure 1 such that the cables in contact with the blade are numbers A1 and B1.
