BS EN 2083 specifies the dimensions, linear resistance, mechanical characteristics, construction, and mass of conductors in copper or copper alloy for electrical cables for aerospace applications.
BS EN 2083 applies to stranded conductors, with a nominal cross-sectional area of 0.15 mm square to 107 mm square inclusive.
Note: The conductors for thermocouple extension and fire-resistant cables are not covered by BS EN 2083.
BS EN 2083 on Copper alloy conductors for electrical cables is useful for:
Electric cables keep the electricity running and ensure the safety and stability of electricity. They also protect the passengers and are a crucial part of the aerospace industry. These electric cables are made up of copper and copper alloy conductors.
Copper and copper alloy conductors have multitudes of useful properties that make them ideal for the production of electric cables. Copper has the highest electrical conductivity and is widely used in the making of electric cables. Copper and copper alloy conductors also make electrical contacts. They are lightweight and their performance is outstanding, and perfect for use in aircraft.
Being a delicate component, the manufacturing of the copper alloy conductors for electrical cables must be standardized. Adopting BS EN 2083 ensures best-in-class global practices are followed by you when manufacturing these electrical cables to be used in aerospace applications. BS EN 2083 also informs consumers about the reliability and safety provided by the copper alloy conductors for electrical cables manufactured by you.
