What is BS EN 60811-301 – Measurement of filling compounds permittivity about?
BS EN 60811-301 is an international standard on electric and optical fibre cable. BS EN 60811-301 is 301st part of IEC 60811. BS EN 60811-301 gives the procedure to determine the permittivity at 23 °C which typically applies to filling compounds used for optical cables, communication cables and optical fibre cables.
The IEC 60811 series specifies the test methods to be used for testing non-metallic materials of all types of cables. These test methods are intended to be referenced in standards for
cable construction and for cable materials.
Who is BS EN 60811-301 - Measurement of filling compounds permittivity for?
BS EN 60811-301 on measurement of filling compounds permittivity is relevant to:
- Optical fibre cables manufacturer
- Cable wires manufacturer
- Non-metallic material manufacturer
- Manufacturers of applications that require electrical transference
- Electrical engineers
- Mechanical engineers
Why should you use BS EN 60811-301 - Measurement of filling compounds permittivity?
Electric cables are designed to continue to operate in a designated manner whilst subjected to a specific source of heat for a specified period of time under specified conditions.
BS EN 60811-301 provides you test method which includes a general specification measuring procedure, apparatus, sample, and measurements with a test report that ensures you the classification of non-metallic electric cables of filling compounds.
Compliance with BS EN 60811-301 can benefit you by providing accurate and necessary tests to demonstrate compliance as permittivity plays an important role in determining the capacitance of a capacitor. This not only ensures the operational efficiency of communication cables but also measure the amount of energy from an external electrical field stored in the material.
