It is based on ISO 2635 : 1979, published by the International Organization for Standa
9、rdization (ISO), and constitutes a revision of BS 2G 231 : 1990, which is superseded and withdrawn. BS G 222 : 1976 was published before international agreement on ISO 2635 was achieved, and therefore differs slightly in its conductor requirements. Future aerospace cable specifications will be cross
10、-referred to BS G 231 for their conductor requirements. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. BSI 1997 1 BS 3G 231 : 1997 Specification 1 Scope This British Standard specifies dimensions and performance requirements for multi-strand circular co
11、nductors in two distinct conditions: a) prior to application of insulation; and b) after insulation, since processing during cable manufacture may change the conductor characteristics. The conductors specified in this standard are for general-purpose aircraft electrical cables for aerospace applicat
12、ions over the nominal cross-sectional area range 0.1 mm 2 to 107 mm 2 . NOTE. This standard does not apply to conductors for fire-resistant cables, thermocouple extension cables or equipment wire. 2 Informative references This British Standard refers to other publications that provide information or
13、 guidance. Editions of these publications current at the time of issue of this standard are listed on the inside back cover, but reference should be made to the latest editions. 3 Materials 3.1 Conductors shall be manufactured from unused materials that have been exposed only to processes essential
14、to their manufacture and application. 3.2 Conductors shall be manufactured from materials shown in table 1. 3.3 Conductors in copper and high-strength copper alloy shall be unplated (code letter A), or tinned (code letter B), or silver-plated (code letter C) or nickel-plated (code letter D) in accor
15、dance with the individual cable specification. The thickness of the silver plating (code letter C) shall be at least 1.0mm and the thickness of the nickel plating (code letter D) shall be at least 1.3mm. 3.4 The plating materials shall conform to the appropriate requirements of clause 6. Table 1. Co

Conduc
17、tors shall be either concentric stranded as given in table 2 or rope stranded as given in table 3. 4.3 There shall be no kinks, joints or other irregularities in the complete conductor. 4.4 Joints in single strands shall be brazed or hard soldered. There shall be not more than one such joint in any
18、50 m of single strand. Joints in single strands shall be not within 300 mm of any other joint in the same layer. 5 Electrical resistance after insulation 5.1 The electrical resistance after insulation of concentric-stranded conductors shall conform to table 4. 5.2 The electrical resistance after ins
19、ulation of rope-stranded conductors shall conform to table 3. 6 Tests 6.1 Tensile strength and elongation 6.1.1 Method Use a tensile tester capable of 1 % accuracy, with jaw separation rates of 200 mm/min to 300 mm/min (copper) and 40 mm/min to 60 mm/min (copper alloy). For copper conductors, test s
20、ingle strands taken from the completed conductor. For copper alloy conductors, test the inner seven strands together to eliminate variance. 6.1.2 Requirement Tensile strength and elongation at break of the conductor prior to insulation shall be as given in table 5, and after insulation shall be as g
21、iven in table 6, based on an average of three tests. The initial jaw separation shall be 245 mm to 255 mm. 6.2 Mass per unit length Weigh at least 1 m of conductor. The mass per unit length for each size shall be as given in tables 2 and 3.2 BSI 1997 BS 3G 231 : 1997 1) 0.003 5 for copper alloy. 6.3
22、 Resistance 6.3.1 Method Measure the electrical resistance of the conductor (inV) and correct to 20 C using the following formula: R 20 = R T 1 + 0.003 93 1) (202 T) where T is the temperature of the conductor under test (in C); R T is the resistance of sample at temperature T; R 20 is the resistanc
23、e at 20 C. 6.3.2 Requirement The values calculated shall not exceed those given in tables 2 to 4. 6.4 Strand-plating continuity 6.4.1 Method Take three strands not less than 150 mm in length from a conductor previously straightened by hand. Degrease the strands without causing damage then wipe, usin
24、g a clean dry cloth. Ensure that any strands cleaned in this manner are not touched by hand. Immerse the strands for 30 s in a solution of sodium polysulfide of density 1.142 g/cm 3 at 20 C, then wash carefully in distilled water. In addition immerse silver- and nickel-coated strands for 15 s in a h
25、ydrochloric acid solution of density 1.088 g/cm 3 at 20 C and wash carefully in distilled water. Examine the strands under a magnification of3 30. 6.4.2 Requirement No adherent or distinct black spots shall be observed. Any blackening occurring less than 15 mm from each end shall be disregarded. 6.5
26、 Strand-plating adherence 6.5.1 Method Take three strands not less than 150 mm in length from a conductor previously straightened by hand. Wind each strand around itself, using half the specimen length as a mandrel so as to form 10 adjacent turns. Examine the strands under a magnification of3 100. 6
27、.5.2 Requirement The plating shall not exhibit any detachment or cracks. 6.6 Strand-plating thickness When measured by any approved method the thickness of silver and nickel plating shall conform to 3.3. NOTE. The corresponding mass of silver for a nominal 1.0mm radial thickness is given in annex A.
