BS EN 60811-504 is a part of IEC 60811. BS EN 60811-504 gives the procedure for performing bending tests at low temperature on extruded insulations and sheaths. BS EN 60811-504 provides test methods intended to be referenced in standards for able construction and for cable materials.
Note 1: Non-metallic materials are typically used for insulating, sheathing, bedding, filling or taping within cables.
Note 2: These test methods are accepted as basic and fundamental and have been developed and used over.
BS EN 60811-504 on bending test for insulation and sheaths at low temperature is useful for:
Insulators protect wires from overheating, preventing any chance of damage to appliances and electrical and electronic equipment. Using the test methods to assess performance of insulators and sheaths can help you select the right insulating materials for optic cables and wires.
BS EN 60811-504 provides procedures to test material for bending of insulators and sheaths at low temperature. BS EN 60811-504 best practices can help engineers and designers choose the right material to be used in their equipment. BS EN 60811-504 covers the principle elements of the safety objectives for electrical equipment designed for use within Certain Voltage Limits (LVD - 2006/95/EC).
Use of BS EN 60811-504 make optic wires and cables safer, thus also increasing the safety and reliability of electrical equipment.
