What is BS EN 2267-009- DRA family, single and multicore assembly cables about?
BS EN 2267-009 specifies the characteristics of electrical lightweight wires DRA family for use in the onboard 115 V (phase to neutral) or 200 V (phase to phase) AC electrical systems of aircraft at operating temperatures between − 65 °C and 260 °C. These cables are demonstrated to be arc-resistant in sizes AWG 26 to 14 (115/200 V AC).
Note: In addition, these cables may be suitable for use at 230/400 V AC in pressurized zones only when installed to take account of possible short circuit effects.
Who is BS EN 2267-009- DRA family, single and multicore assembly cables for?
BS EN 2267-009 on DRA family, single and multicore assembly cables is useful for:
- Aerospace products manufacturers
- Aeronautical engineers
- Testing agencies involved in the inspection of aerospace products
- Quality assessing engineers
Why should you use BS EN 2267-009- DRA family, single and multicore assembly cables?
Aerospace electrical cables sustain intense vibration during take-off, flight, and landing, while also being subject to harsh environmental conditions. Cable faults cost money and create disruption, so there is an enormous demand for cable test techniques to ensure cables and joints are in good condition.
BS EN 2267-009 provides information about materials and construction of conductors and insulators and provides instruction on the colour coding of cores.
Also, BS EN 2267-009 specifies quality assurance, designation, marking, packaging, and storing of cables.
