BS EN 3475604:2018EN 3475-604:2018 (E) 4 1 Scope This European standard specifies a method for appraising the behaviour of cable insulation when an electric arc is initiated and maintained by t
24、wo (2) 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
25、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 conditi
26、ons 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 generally agreed that larger sizes need not be assessed since the short
27、-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 in this document and are indispens

BS EN 3475604:2018EN 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
32、 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 str
33、aight 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
34、 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.

This circuit shall have the following requirements: a)
36、The provision of adjustable levels of prospective fault currents for the five A, B and C cables and an electrical return path for the two N cables. b) A three 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 ro
37、tary machine capable of sustaining the maximum prospective fault current given in Table 1 (115 Vac network) or Table 2 (230 Vac network) for at least sufficient time for circuit protection to operate. In any case the generator shall have a sufficient rating to provide these prospective fault current
38、s. c) 115 Vac or 230 Vac circuit breakers (D2) shall be single pole units rated at the values specified in Table 3. They shall have trip characteristics in accordance with EN 2350 or as required in the product specification. NOTE 1 Reference of circuit breakers used shall be recorded. NOTE 2 In part
39、icular case, others ratings of thermal breaker protection could be employed in accordance with aircraft manufacturer rules. d) The electrical power source shall be appropriately protected and it shall be established that no combination of test circuit events would activate this protection. e) The ba
40、llast resistors shall be non-inductive and of appropriate power rating. Care shall be taken to position all laboratory wiring such that inductive effects are reduced to a practical minimum. Supply cables shall be as short as possible. f) Cables A, B and C shall be connected to indication and open ci
41、rcuit detectors at entry into the grounded star point. These components shall limit the standing current to no more than 10 % of the circuit breaker rating. g) The automatic shutdown facility shall provide, upon the detection of any open circuit during test and after a 10 s delay, removal of the bla
42、de from the specimen and for electrical power to be removed. Open circuit in this case means either a physical break in the specimen or a thermal breaker trip. NOTE 3 In the case of the automatic shutdown facility is not used, the physical break in the specimen are detected by lamps in series with t
43、he rheostat Rg. h) A heavy duty electrical bonding strap shall be connected between the blade of the test rig and the electrical star point of the generator. i) Appropriate instrumentation, recording and switching control shall be installed in accordance with good laboratory practice. j) A rheostat
44、Rg adjusting current (I) in the circuit to a value equal to 10 % of the circuit breaker current.
