12、 Scope This standard specifies a method for appraising the behaviour of cable insulation when an electric arc is initiated and maintained by two powered cables rubbing against a blade. This standard shall be used together with EN 3475-100. The primary aim of this test is: to produce, in a controlled
13、 fashion, continuous failure effects which are representative of those which may occur in service when a typical cable bundle is damaged by abrasion such that electrical arcing occurs, both between cables and between cables and conductive structure, and to examine the aptitude of the insulation to t
14、rack, to propagate electric arc to the electrical origin. Originally defined for 115 Vac network, this test also proposes conditions for 230 Vac network. Unless otherwise specified in product standard, only 115 Vac conditions shall be satisfied. Six levels of prospective fault current have been spec
15、ified for concerned cable sizes (see Clause 7). It is generally agreed that larger sizes need not be assessed since the short-circuit phenomenon becomes dominant at low line impedances. Unless otherwise specified in the technical/product standard sizes 002, 006 and 020 cable shall be assessed. 2 Nor

This circuit shall have the following requirements: a) The provision of adjustable levels of prospective fault currents for the five A, B and C cables and an electrical return path for the two N cables. b) A three phase 115/200 V 400 Hz (115 Vac network) or 230/400 V 400 Hz (230 Vac
25、network) star (Y) connected supply shall be derived from a dedicated rotary machine capable of sustaining the maximum prospective fault current given in Table 1 (115 Vac network) or Table 2 (230 Vac network) for at least sufficient time for circuit protection to operate.

They shall have trip characteristics in accordance with EN 2350 or as required in the product specification. NOTE
27、 1 Reference of circuit breakers used shall be recorded. NOTE 2 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 combi

29、ible. f) Cables A, B and C shall be connected to indication and open circuit detectors at entry into the grounded star point.

Open circuit in this case means either a physical break in the specimen or a thermal breaker trip. NOTE 3 In the case of the automatic shut down facility is not used,
31、the physical break in the specimen are detected by lamps in series with the rheostat Rg. h) A heavy duty electrical bonding strap shall be connected between the blade of the test rig and the electrical star point of the generator. i) Appropriate instrumentation, recording and switching control shall
32、 be installed in accordance with good laboratory practice. j) A rheostat Rg adjusting current (I) in the circuit to a value equal to 10 % of the circuit breaker current. prEN 3475-604:2016 (E) 6 Key 1 Phase A 2 Phase B 3 Phase C 4 Supply protection 5 Test bundle 6 Indicators (lamp) + Rg 7 Test blade

39、) or aluminium cable sizes 002 to 090 (24 to 8), and for each cable size six values of prospective fault current have been defined. Performance of a cable size at a given fault intensity shall be determined by testing three samples. Thus 18 samples are required for every cable size. 5.3.2 For the pu
40、rposes of cable qualification at least sizes 002, 006 and 020 shall be tested. Additional testing of other sizes may be deemed necessary in particular cases and values of prospective fault currents, the ratings of thermal breaker protection which are typical of aircraft use and the blade form to be
41、employed have been included in this specification. 5.3.3 It is emphasised that electrical arcing tests are essentially destructive and can be hazardous to personnel. Therefore tests shall be undertaken with all observers shielded from direct physical and visual exposure as noted in 5.2 i). The use o
42、f 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 type and size to be tested (Table 3). Fit a blade to the reciprocating head of the test rig of the appropriate type shown in Figures 3a and Figure 3b. 5.4.2 Heavy dut
43、y electrical shorting connections shall be fitted in substitution of a test sample to enable prospective 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 des
44、ired value is obtained. Re-instate the thermal protection. 5.4.3 With electrical power removed adjust the test apparatus to give the correct conditions of blade stroke, frequency and downwards force. Ensure that the test fixture is correctly positioned and that the method of holding the specimen pro
45、vides satisfactory restraint. 5.4.4 Modify a verification sample by removing a section of cables A1 and B1 in the test zone. Adjust the blade depth stop such that the final blade position is at least half the conductor diameter of A1 or B1, from wires A2, B2 and C1, as shown by Figure 1. 6 Method 6.
46、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 current from Table 1 or Table 2. 6.1.2 Apply electrical power to the specimen and gently make contact with the blade. Arm the automatic blade lifti
47、ng circuit, if used, and start the abrading action. NOTE 1 Only blades in good condition shall be used on new samples. If the abrading edge of a blade becomes significantly degraded after a circuit breaker trip at any stage it shall be replaced. NOTE 2 Before each test series check that thermal brea
48、kers are operating within their specified trip limits when subjected to 100 % overload. NOTE 3 Shall it be established that the mechanical attack of the blade does not penetrate the insulation within 3 min, then it is permissible for a fine cut to be made on the test specimens at the point on the up
49、per surface of cables A1 and B1 where the blade is to make contact. No material shall be removed and the cut shall not penetrate to the conductor. prEN 3475-604:2016 (E) 10 6.1.3 Actuation of the abrader shall create failure effects which shall be processed as follows: NOTE 1 If the automatic shut down is not used, switch off the power and the removal of the blade manually. NOTE 2 If the automatic shut down is not used, reset the power and
