BS EN 3475 is a European Standard series that discusses electrical cables for aircraft applications used in the aerospace industry. The purpose of BS EN 3475-302 is to provide the best industry test procedures for electrical cables for aircraft applications such that they are fit for the intended end-application use.
BS EN 3475-302 specifies a method of performing voltage proof tests on finished cables and cables in course of production.
BS EN 3475-302 shall be used together with BS EN 3475-100.
BS EN 3475-302 on voltage proof test for electrical cables for aircraft applications is useful for:
Aerospace electrical cables sustain intense vibration during take-off, flight, and landing, while also being subject to harsh environmental conditions. Cable faults cost money and create disruption, so there is an enormous demand for cable test techniques to ensure cables and joints are in good condition.
BS EN 3475-302 provides you guidance on three tests, namely, immersion test, dry spark test and dry impulse test to perform voltage proof tests on cables. BS EN 3475-302 also provides you with a step-by-step procedure for the method, enabling you to do the method correctly.
If you are a manufacturer of electrical cables used in the aircraft industry, compliance with these requirements can ensure your products meet the performance needs of the end-application.
BS EN 3475-302 helps you to create a standardized approach for manufacturers of electrical cables to adhere to if they supply their components for use by the aircraft and defence industry.
With compliance to the best industry requirements specified in BS EN 3475-302, you can assess electrical cables to ensure the safety of cable insulation and prevent the risks of hazards.
