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

This European standard specifies a method of assessing the behaviour of cable insulation subject to an electric arc initiated and maintained 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, continuous 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; 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 agreed that sizes larger than 051 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.

Aeronavtika - Električni kabli za uporabo v letalih - Preskusne metode - 603. del: Ugotavljanje odpornosti proti obloku v vlažnih razmerah

Ta evropski standard določa metodo za ocenjevanje vedenja kabelske izolacije, za katero velja električni oblok, ki se sproži in vzdržuje s kontaminacijo tekočine vzdolž površine izolacije.
Ta standard se mora uporabljati skupaj s standardom EN 3475-100.
Primarni namen tega preskusa je:
 na nadzorovan način poustvariti vplive ponavljajočih se napak, reprezentativne tistim, ki se lahko pojavijo pri uporabi običajnega kabelskega sklopa, ki je poškodovan in izpostavljen kontaminacijski tekočini. Na površini izolacije med poškodovanimi mesti sosednjih kablov pride do električnega obloka; in
 preučiti amptitudo izolacije za sledenje električnega obloka do njegovega izvora.
Ta preskus, izvirno določen za omrežje 115 V AC, predlaga tudi pogoje za omrežje 230 V AC. Razen če je v standardu za izdelek določeno drugače, je treba izpolniti le pogoje za 115 V AC.
Za zadevne velikosti kablov je bilo določenih šest ravni pričakovanega okvarnega toka (glej točko 7). Dogovorjeno je, da velikosti, večje od 051 ni treba ocenjevati, ker pojav kratkega stika postane dominanten pri nizkih uporih.
Razen če je v tehničnem standardu/standardu za proizvod določeno drugače, je treba ocenjevati velikosti kablov 002, 006 in 020.

EN 3475-603:2018 (E) 5 4 Preparation of specimen Cut seven (7) separate lengths approximately 0,5 m consecutively from one (1) 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. Damage two (2) 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. Lay up the seven (7) cables as follows: a) Form the cables in a six (6) around one (1) 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 lacing tapes such that they are in continuous contact within the test zone. d) Position the lacing tapes (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.
