What is BS EN 4611-007 - Nickel-plated cables about ?
BS EN 4611‑007 specifies the characteristics of UV laser printable, nickel-plated copper conductor electrical cables Crosslinked Ethylene Tetra Fluoro Ethylene copolymer (XLETFE) family for use in the onboard electrical systems of aircraft operating at temperatures between – 65 °C and 150 °C. 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.
These cables are suitable for air flame use.
Who is BS EN 4611-007 - Nickel-plated cables for ?
BS EN 4611‑007 on nickel-plated conductor electrical cables (Dual extruded wall for open applications) for aerospace applications is applicable to:
- Manufacturers of nickel-plated conductor electrical cables
- Aircraft manufacturers
- Quality control/testing and compliance personnel for aerospace
- Spacecraft and space equipment manufacturers
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Testing agencies involved in the inspection of spacecraft and aerospace products
Why should you use BS EN 4611-007 - Nickel-plated cables ?
Crosslinked Ethylene Tetra Fluoro Ethylene copolymer (XLETFE) greatly improves the high and low-temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, wear resistance of the cable, and tensile strength of the whole body of the cable. BS EN 4611-007 specifies characteristics of nickel-plated conductor electrical cables (XLETFE) and provides essential guidance on using the electrical systems of aircraft. Thus BS EN 4611‑007 eases production and guarantees the machining accuracy of the cable.
