8、re in the fire conditions given in this standard is a prime requirement. Cables manufactured in accordance with this standard are required to comply with the fire proof requirements and therefore the fire resistance requirements of BS3G100-2.3.13, and to satisfy the flammability requirements of BS G

9、230. The standard requires the application of the dielectric material so as to provide the minimum penalties of weight and space whilst offering reliable performance over a period of not less than10000 flying hours. Cables with steel reinforcement wires are not included in this specification. Attent

10、ion is drawn to BS G230 which specifies the general requirements for aircraft electric cables (second series). A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a Britis

11、h Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pagesi andii, pages1 to14, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incor

12、porated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BSG241:1988 BSI 01-2000 1 1 Scope This BritishStandard specifies the construction and performance requirements for a range of cables suitable for use in engine fire zones and other areas requiring circuit integrity in f

13、ire conditions. The size range is22 to16. The following types of cable are specified. Type F single core, having nickel clad copper conductors Type FA single core, having nickel clad copper alloy conductors Type FSN single core or multi-core type F with a screen and outer jacket Type FASN single cor

14、e or multi-core type FA with a screen and outer jacket The cables are suitable for continuous use where the maximum stabilized conductor temperature does not exceed260 C. They are suitable for applications involving flexing at temperatures down to65 C. The cables are suitable for use where the poten

15、tial between conductors or between a conductor and screen, or the aircraft structure does not exceed600V r.m.s. and the frequency does not exceed2000Hz. The continuous current ratings for the cables are defined in this standard. NOTEThe titles of the publications referred to in this standard are lis
