What is BS EN 4611-008 - Product Standard for nickel-plated cables about?
BS EN 4611 is a European standard that discusses electrical cables for use in single and multicore assembly
BS EN 4611-008 is the eighth part of a multi-part series that 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, operating at voltages not exceeding 600 V r.m.s. and frequencies not exceeding 2000 Hz.
These cables under BS EN 4611-008 are intended for use with additional protection in areas where combinations of high vibration, cable flexing and fluid contamination are normal e.g., undercarriage harnesses.
Note: In case of conflict between BS EN 4611-008 and other referenced documents the requirements of BS EN 4611-008 should take precedence.
Who is BS EN 4611-008 - Product Standard for nickel-plated cables for?
BS EN 4611-008 on product standard for nickel-plated conductor electrical cables is relevant 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 4611-008- Product Standard for 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 4611-008 guides you regarding the material to use, construction, number of cores and colour coding of cores of nickel-plated conductor cables that assist in manufacturing durable and high-quality nickel-plated cables.
Thus BS EN 4611-008 eases production and guarantees the efficiency of nickel-plated cables.
