BS EN 2591 is a European standard that discusses the test methods for the elements of the electrical and optical connection.
BS EN 2591-701 specifies a method of measuring the open circuit impedance of couplers.
BS EN 2591-701 shall be used together with EN 2591-100.
BS EN 2591-701 on the measurement of open circuit impedance of couplers is relevant to:
An open circuit implies that the two terminals are points are externally disconnected, which is equivalent to a resistance R=∞. This means that zero current can flow between the two terminals, regardless of any voltage difference.
BS EN 2591-701 guides you on the preparation of specimens and provides test methods for measuring the open circuit impedance of couplers.
BS EN 2591-701 covers the requirements and procedures for the test method used for measuring the open circuit impedance of couplers.
By adopting BS EN 2591-701, you can create a standardized approach for manufacturers and can demonstrate the reliability of your couplers and build trust in its use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
