What is BS EN 3475-512 about?
BS EN 3475 series is for electrical cables for aerospace industries. BS EN 3475-512 discusses standards for flexure endurance of electrical cable for aerospace applications.
BS EN 3475-512 specifies a method of testing the flexure endurance of the cable when it is subjected to alternating flexing.
BS EN 3475-512 specifies methods:
- Method A: flexure endurance test of the conductor
- Method B: flexure endurance of the cable insulation
BS EN 3475-512 shall be used together with EN 3475-100.
Who is BS EN 3475-512 for?
BS EN 3475-512 on electrical cable for aerospace applications is applicable for:
- Manufacturers of aerospace electrical cables
- Quality control personnel for aircrafts
- Aircraft manufacturers
- Aerospace avionic electrical and fibre optic technology
- Spacecraft and space products manufacturing industries
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Testing agencies involved in the inspection of spacecraft and aerospace products
Why should you use BS EN 3475-512?
Aerospace applications require reliable electrical wiring and cable assemblies for safe equipment operation. In aerospace operations, component or system failure can place the entire crew at risk so systems must operate with high degree of strength, durability, reliability, operating environments, and complexity.
BS EN 3475-512 provides you with all test procedures and test requirements for testing the flexure endurance of the electric cable. Following these guidelines your electric cables will be able to withstand flexing on a tight mandrel.
BS EN 3155-512 covers all the quality control requirements for electrical cables. It creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of electrical cables that they need to adhere to if they supply their electrical cables for use by the aerospace and defence industries.
By adopting BS EN 3475-512, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of their electrical cables and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
