What is BS EN 4611-002 – Tin-plated electrical cables about ?
BS EN 4611-002 is a European Standard that specifies the list of product standards and common characteristics of electrical cables for use in the onboard electrical systems of aircraft operating at temperatures between – 65 °C to 135 °C and 150 °C, dependent upon conductor type. The voltage rating is 600 V rms at sea level. This insulation system has been used in aerospace applications using 115 V ac (phase-to-neutral) 400 Hz and 28 V dc.
Who is BS EN 4611-002 – Tin-plated electrical cables for ?
BS EN 4611‑002 on electrical cables (single and multicore assembly) for aerospace applications is applicable to:
- Manufacturers of electrical cables
- Aircraft manufacturers
- Quality control/testing and compliance personnel for aerospace
- Spacecraft and space products manufacturers
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Testing agencies involved in the inspection of spacecraft and aerospace products
Why should you use BS EN 4611-002 – Tin-plated electrical cables ?
Electrical cables are used to connect two or more devices, enabling the transfer of electrical signals or power from one device to the other. Cables are used for a wide range of purposes, and each must be tailored for that purpose. Cables are used extensively in electronic devices for power and signal circuits.
BS EN 4611-002 contains characteristics of electrical cables (XLETFE) and provides essential guidance on using the electrical systems of aircraft.
As a quality control personnel, you can use BS EN 4611-002 in the inspection of surface, fire, humidity, and overload resistance. Thus BS EN 4611‑002 benefits you in ease of production and guarantees the machining accuracy of the cable.
