BS EN 2591 is a series on elements of the electrical and optical connection. Elements of electrical and optical connection typically include a core surrounded by a transparent cladding material with a lower index of refraction.
BS EN 2591-217 specifies a method for measuring the voltage drop under specified current in terminal lugs and in-line splices. BS EN 2591-217 shall be used together with EN 2591-100 which is the Aerospace series – Elements of electrical and optical connection – Test methods – Part 100: General)
BS EN 2591-217 on measuring Voltage drop in terminal lugs and in-line splices is useful for:
Aerospace is a term used to collectively refer to the atmosphere and outer space. Aerospace activity is very diverse, with a multitude of commercial, industrial, and military applications. Aerospace engineering consists of aeronautics and astronautics. Aerospace organizations research, design, manufacture, operate, or maintain aircraft and spacecraft.
BS EN 2591-217 helps industry and manufacturers of products as it ensures ideal testing towards a quality product by specifying the type of cable that is to be used, the number of specimens, installation and wiring of specimens, the measurement points, the test current, types of accessories fitted to the specimens, the requirement of the initial measurements, the requirement of final measurements. Using BS EN 2591-217 you can specify a method for measuring the voltage drop under specified current in terminal lugs and in-line splices.
