BS EN 3719 is a European Standard that specifies the dimensions, linear resistance, mechanical characteristics, construction and mass of conductors in aluminium or aluminium alloy for electrical cables for aerospace applications.
It applies to stranded conductors with nominal cross-sections of 5 mm2 to 107 mm2 inclusive.
BS EN 3719 is useful for:
Aluminium alloy cable is used for electrical wiring in houses, power grids and aeroplanes.
BS EN 3719 helps manufacturers of electrical cables in providing proper dimensional requirements and characteristics of aluminium or aluminium alloy.
BS EN 3719 covers all the requirements for aluminium alloy for electrical cables. It creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of aluminium alloy to adhere to if they supply their metallic materials for use by the aerospace and defence industry.
By adopting BS EN 3719, you can demonstrate the reliability of aluminium alloy and build trust in its use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
