BS EN 3475-603:2018EN 3475-603:2018 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method of assessing the behaviour of cable insulation subject to an electric arc initiated and maintained by contami
24、nating fluid along the surface of the insulation. 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 bundl
25、e is damaged and subjected to aqueous fluid contamination. Electrical arcing occurs along the surface of the insulation between damage sites on adjacent cables; to examine the aptitude of the insulation to track, to propagate electric arc to the electrical origin. Originally defined for 115 Vac netw
26、ork, this test also proposes conditions for 230 Vac network. Unless otherwise specified in product standard, only 115 Vac conditions shall be satisfied. Six (6) levels of prospective fault current have been specified for concerned cable sizes (see Clause 7). It is agreed that sizes larger than 051 n
27、eed 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. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced

BS EN 3475-603:2018EN 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 wi
32、th 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 o
33、f 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
34、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 sp
35、ecimen 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 grou
36、ped around N.

37、 configuration 5 Apparatus 5.1 Electrical equipment Connect the seven (7) cables of the test specimen within the circuit shown in Figure 3. This circuit shall have the following requirements: a) The provision of adjustable levels of prospective fault currents for the six (6) A, B and C cables and an
38、 electrical return path for the N cable. b) A three (3) phase 115/200 V 400 Hz (115 Vac network) or 230/400 V 400 Hz (230 Vac network) star (Y) connected supply shall be derived from a dedicated rotary machine capable of sustaining the maximum prospective fault current given in Table 1 (115 Vac netw
39、ork) or Table 2 (230 Vac network) for at least sufficient time for the circuit protection to operate. In any case the generator shall have a sufficient rating to provide these prospective fault currents. BS EN 3475-603:2018EN 3475-603:2018 (E) 7 c) The (115 - 115 W per phase for 115 Vac network or 2
40、30 - 230 W per phase for 230 Vac network) ballast resistors R1, are fitted in order to prevent over voltage during the arc extinction phases (opening of an inductive circuit). d) 115 Vac or 230 Vac circuit breakers (D2) shall be single pole units rated at the values specified in Table 3. They shall
41、have trip characteristics in accordance with EN 2350 or as required by the product. NOTE 1 Reference of circuit breakers used shall be recorded. NOTE 2 In particular case, others ratings of thermal breaker protection could be employed in accordance with aircraft manufacturer rules. e) The electrical
42、 power source shall be appropriately protected and should be established that no combination of test circuit events would activate this protection. f) The resistors shall be non-inductive and have appropriate power rating. Care shall be taken to position all laboratory wiring such that inductive eff
43、ects are reduced to a practical minimum. Supply cables shall be as short as possible. g) Cables A, B and C shall be connected to indication and open circuit detectors (Rg) at the entry into the grounded star point. These components shall limit the standing current to no more than 10 % of the circuit
44、 breaker rating. h) An automatic shutdown facility shall be provided, which shall, upon the detection of any open circuit during the test and after a 10 s delay, shut down the flow of electrolyte and electrical power. An open circuit in this case means either a physical break in the specimen or a th
45、ermal breaker trip. The facility to override this shutdown facility shall be provided so as to restore the power whilst still inhibiting the flow of electrolyte. The physical break in the specimen is to be indicated by lamps in series with resistor Rg. i) Appropriate instrumentation, recording and s
46、witching control shall be installed in accordance with good laboratory practice. j) Adjust resistor Rg so that the current (I) in the circuit is 10 % of value of the circuit breaker rated current.
