What is BS EN 3773-001 - Technical specification for single-pole circuit breakers about ?
BS EN 3773 is a European standard on aerospace that discusses single-pole circuit breakers. BS EN 3773-001 provides the technical specification for single-pole circuit breakers to enhance their efficiency.
BS EN 3773-001 is the first part of a multi-part series that specifies the single-pole temperature compensated circuit breakers rated from 1 A to 25 A and used in aircraft on-board circuits.
BS EN 3773-001 describes specific environmental, electrical, and mechanical characteristics and the stringency of tests to be applied according to test methods of EN 3841-100. These circuit breakers are intended for use in aircraft with electrical supplies under EN 2282.
These circuit breakers are operated by a push-pull type single push button (actuator), with delayed action "trip-free" tripping. They will continue to function up to the short-circuit current.
Who is BS EN 3773-001 - Technical specification for single-pole circuit breakers for ?
BS EN 3773-001 on the technical specification for single-pole circuit breakers is relevant to:
- Aerospace avionic electrical and fibre optic technology
- Manufacturers of circuit breakers
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Designers of circuit breakers
- Aircraft electrical manufacturers
- Design engineers for airplanes
- Quality control personnel for aircraft and related applications
Why should you use BS EN 3773-001 - Technical specification for single-pole circuit breakers ?
A pole refers to the number of separate circuits a switch can control, a single-pole switch can operate one circuit. It has one switch and only needs to connect two wires.
A single-pole breaker is mainly used for the general lighting circuit of houses and installed in a standard outlet with a two-slot outlet receptacle. As a manufacturer of circuit breakers, you can use BS EN 3773-001 to improve the production of circuit breakers.
BS EN 3773-001 provides best practice guidance on the dimensional characteristics, mass, material, marking, packaging, and panel mounting.
BS EN 3773-001 also provides you with the mechanical, electrical, environmental, qualification and material tests of single-pole circuit breakers. This assists in building the best quality circuit breakers that support aircraft electrical systems that are efficient as well as durable.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 3773-001, you can enhance the efficacy of single-pole circuit breakers and manufacture a standardized high-quality product to ensure the reliability of your products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
