What is BS EN 4611-009 - XLETFE Family Nickel-plated copper cables about?
BS EN 4611 is a European standard on electrical cables for general purpose, single and multicore assembly. BS EN 4611-009 provides the best industry guidance on XLETFE Family Nickel-plated copper cables to enhance their durability and stability.
BS EN 4611-009 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.
Cables under BS EN 4611-009 are intended for use as cores for jacketed cables or within the equipment in areas where combinations of high vibration, cable flexing, and fluid contamination are normal.
Note: In case of conflict between BS EN 4611-009 and other referenced documents, the requirements of BS EN 4611-009 should take precedence.
Who is BS EN 4611-009 - XLETFE Family Nickel-plated copper cables for?
BS EN 4611-009 on XLETFE Family nickel-plated electrical cables is relevant to:
- Manufacturers of nickel-plated electrical cables
- Aircraft manufacturers
- Quality control/testing and compliance personnel
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Design engineers for nickel-plated cables
Why should you use BS EN 4611-009 - XLETFE Family Nickel-plated copper cables?
Nickel-plated cable offers thermal endurance, flammability, and flexibility. The chemical and overload resistance of the cable makes it an ideal choice for use in nickel-plated electrical cables. Crosslinked Ethylene Tetra Fluoro Ethylene copolymer (XLETFE) greatly improves the surface resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, insulation resistance, fire resistance of the cable, and tensile strength of the whole body of the cable.
As a manufacturer, you can adopt BS EN 4611-009 compliant guidelines on nickel-plated cables for efficient production of nickel-plated electrical cables that are durable as well as high of quality. Thus, assisting in easing the process of production.
BS EN 4611-009 elaborates on the necessary characteristics, technical specifications of nickel-plated electrical cables and provides essential guidance on the electrical systems of aircraft.
With compliance and obedience to BS EN 4611-009, you can enhance the efficacy, durability and stability of XLETFE Family nickel-plated electrical cables for use in onboard electrical systems.
