After inquiries and votes carried out in accordance with the rules of ASD-STAN defined in ASD-STANs General Process Manual, this standard has received approval for Publication. prEN 6059-502:2013 (E) 3 1 Scope This standard specifies a method o

10、f assessing the behaviour of protection sleeves or conduits subject to an external electric arc, either at 115 Vac or 230 Vac 400 Hz. This Standard shall be used together with EN 6059-100. The primary aim of this test is to produce, in a controlled fashion, electric arcs at the immediate vicinity of

11、 a protection sleeve or conduit and to examine possible consequences on cables inside this protection, which are supposed to be maintained in a safe condition. These electric arcs are representative of those, which may occur in service when a typical cable bundle is severely damaged. In order to opt

12、imize thickness and mass of such protection, it is necessary to associate a current limit In to each sleeves or conduits construction. Two levels of prospective fault current are specified for all protection sizes. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the a

19、e concerned protection sleeves product standard, with bundle external protection to be tested. The cable bundle outer diameter shall be as closed as possible to the internal diameter of the protection to be tested. This diameter is obtained: with a full assembly of size 24 cables, or with a central

20、part in various cable types covered with a full and uniform layer of size 24 cables. The sleeve shall be fitted in accordance with the manufacturers declared fitting instructions. 4.2 Aggressive bundle (bundle A) 4.2.1 Definition and constitution Bundles A are made of 7 arc-tracking resistant cables

21、, typically from EN 2267-010 product standard unless otherwise specified in the concerned protection sleeves product standard, without bundle external protection. The short circuit will be created on these bundles (see 4.3). The cables gauge is chosen in Table 1, in accordance with the In limit spec

22、ified for the protection sleeves.

For information the diameter of the bundle will be three times the cable diameter. prEN 6059-502:2013 (E) 5 4.2.2 Preparation Cut seven separate lengths of approximately 0,5 m consecutively from one length of cable, and strip one of the ends of insulation to

24、permit electrical connection. Clean each length of cable with a clean cloth moistened with propan-2-ol (isopropyl alcohol) fluid. 4.2.3 Lay up the seven cables as follows: a) Form the cables in a six around one configuration as shown in Figure 1. b) Ensure that all cables are straight and geometrica

25、lly parallel, and restrained by ties such that they are in continuous contact at least within the test zone. c) Position the ties at 50 mm spacing toward the end of the specimen as shown in Figure 2.

This circuit shall have the following requirements: a)

30、 The provision of adjustable levels of prospective fault currents for the six A, B and C cables. b) A three phase 200/115 V 400 Hz star (Y) connected supply shall be derived from a dedicated rotary machine capable of sustaining the maximum prospective fault current given in Table 1 for at least suff

31、icient time for circuit protection to operate. In any case the generator shall have a 1 min rating of not less than 20 kVA. c) Circuit breakers shall be rated as given in Table 2 and shall be single pole units. They shall have trip characteristics in accordance with EN 2350 or as required in the pro

32、duct specification. NOTE In particular case, others ratings of thermal breaker protection could be employed in accordance with aircraft manufacturer rules. d) The electrical power source shall be appropriately protected and it shall be established that no combination of test circuit events would act

33、ivate this protection. prEN 6059-502:2013 (E) 9 e) The ballast Rb resistors shall be non-inductive and of appropriate power rating. Care shall be taken to position all laboratory wiring such that inductive effects are reduced to a practical minimum. Supply cables shall be as short as possible. The b

34、allast resistor Rb is in order to prevent over voltage (115 - 115 W per phase) during the arc extinction phases (opening of an inductive circuit). f) A rheostat, Rf, limiting maximum short-circuit current per phase by simulating a line length. g) Appropriate instrumentation, recording and switching

35、control shall be installed in accordance with good laboratory practice. Key 1 Supply protection 2 Test bundle Figure 5 Test schematic circuit 5.1.2 For 230 Vac 400 Hz network a) Apply 5.1.1 with the following modifications: in b) replace “200/115 V 400 Hz” by “400/230 V 400 Hz”, in e) replace “115 -

36、 115 W per phase” by “230 - 230 W per phase”. prEN 6059-502:2013 (E) 10 b) Except if CBs are defined for 230 Vac uses, before starting tests, there must be CB preliminary verifications: verify each CB voltage drop under his nominal intensity. made a short-circuit directly on the terminals of each CB

37、 with a shunt without resistance. verify again the voltage drop. repeat five times this cycle. there must be no significant variations in the voltage drop values. if variations or bad tendency occur, CB must be changed after each tripping. 5.2 Test equipment Construct an apparatus as shown diagramma

38、tically in Figures 2, 3 and 4 which includes the following minimum provisions: a) Electrical terminations to provide a ready means of connecting test specimens into the circuit as shown in Figure 5. b) A transparent enclosure to protect personnel from ejected molten metal and short wavelength ultra

39、violet light. c) An electrolyte delivery system which provides a constant rate of (100 10) mg/min and dispenses drops from an 18 gauge needle, cut of square at the outlet. NOTE The needle wall thickness shall be selected such that the specified flow rate shall be delivered at approximately six drops

40、 per minute. 5.3 Test protocol 5.3.1 The procedure embraces at least one size of protection sleeve per sleeve thickness or construction type and for each two values of prospective fault current, to be set by adjustment of resistances Rf have been defined in Table 2. Performance of the protection at

41、a given maximum fault current shall be determined by testing three specimens. Thus six specimens are required for each protection size. 5.3.2 Additional testing of other sizes may be deemed necessary in particular cases and values of prospective fault currents, the ratings of thermal breaker protect

42、ion which are typical of aircraft use have been included in Table 1. 5.3.3 It is emphasized that electrical arcing tests are essentially destructive and can be hazardous to personnel. Therefore tests should be undertaken with all observers shielded from direct physical and visual exposure as noted i

43、n 5.2 b). The use of video recording for all tests is required. 5.4 Test rig set-up 5.4.1 Install the rating of circuit breaker appropriate to the cable size used for the test (Table 2). 5.4.2 Heavy duty electrical shorting connections shall be fitted in substitution of a test sample to enable prosp

44、ective fault currents to be set by adjustment of resistances Rf. Because these currents would trip the thermal breakers very rapidly these shall be shunted to permit the pulsing of current until the desired value is obtained. Re-instate the thermal protection. prEN 6059-502:2013 (E) 11 5.4.3 Prepare

45、 a solution in distilled or de-ionized water of 2 % by mass of ammonium chloride and (0,1 0,01) % by mass of isooctylphenolpolyethoxyethanal, the polyethoxy chain to contain approximately 10 ethoxy units (triton -100). Exceptionally, in the circumstances given in 6.1.2, the surfactant may be changed

46、 to ammonium perfluoroalkane carboxylate, e.g. 3M FC 126 or FC 143, at a concentration of (0,1 0,01) % by mass. 5.4.4 Support the specimen in free air inclined at an angle of 10 to the horizontal with the electrical input connections at the higher end. 5.4.5 Position the delivery system so that the

47、electrolyte contacts the loom from a height of (10 2) mm above the uppermost cables in the loom at a point which allows the solution to run along the cables so that it wets the exposed conductor ends. Ensure that the drops strike the cables at the top centre of the circumference such that they fall

48、into the crevice between cables A1 and B1. 6 Method 6.1 Test Procedure 6.1.1 Install a test specimen with electrical connections as shown in Figure 1 and with Rf set, as in 5.4.2 above, to give the required fault current specified in Table 2.
