After enquiries and votes carried out in accordance
15、 with the rules of this Association, this Standard has received the approval of the National Associations and the Official Services of the member countries of AECMA, prior to its presentation to CEN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
16、 identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by May 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by May 2006. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held re
17、sponsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

19、ard specifies a method of testing the fire resistance of “fire-proof“ electrical cables. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition
20、of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. ISO 2685:1998, Aircraft Environmental test procedure for airborne equipment Resistance to fire in designated fire zones. EN 3909, Aerospace series Test fluids for electric components and sub-assemblies. 1)3 Preparation of specimens Six t
21、est specimens, 0,75 m minimum length, shall be selected at random from a quantity of cable. 4 Apparatus 4.1 List of apparatus The following shall be required for this test: a burner, a test fixture, and test fluids. 4.2 Burner The burner shall be as described in Annex A of ISO 2685 or any other burn
22、er or assembly of burners satisfying the following conditions: the minimum width of the burner shall be 50 mm; cable length exposed to the flame: 152 mm; diameter or width of the flame at the base of the burner(s) 2 D (D diameter of the cable under test); flame temperature: (1 100 80) C; heat flux d
23、ensity received by the calorimeter described in Annex B of ISO 2685: (116 10) kW/m 2 . 4.3 Test fixture Refer to Figures 1 and 2. The distance between the burner nose and the cable under test shall be as specified in ISO 2685 Annex A. The frame of the test fixture shall be vibrated with the followin
24、g characteristics: direction perpendicular to the axis of the cable; frequency: (30 5) Hz; minimum acceleration: 4 g. 1) Published as AECMA Prestandard at the date of publication of this standard.

25、 4.4 Fluids The test fluids listed below shall be in accordance with EN 3909. aircraft fuel (kerosene); hydraulic fluid (phosphate base); lubricant (synthetic oil); cleaning product (isopropylic alcohol); de-icing fluid (ethylene glycol). 5 Method 5.1 Preparation The test shall be conducted in still
26、 air. The centre section of each of the specimens shall be immersed over a length of 0,5 m for 24 h at ambient temperature, one sample in each of the test fluids. After removal from the test fluid any surplus fluid shall be removed with a lint free cloth. The sample shall stand for 1 h. Each sample
27、shall be mounted onto a frame as shown in Figure 1. Each sample shall be wrapped once around with two nickel-chrome ribbons with their inner edges spaced (25 5) mm apart. The sample and test ribbons shall be weighted, as shown in Figure 1, and the test assembly adjusted so that the area wrapped by t
28、he ribbons is located at the appropriate distance above the burner where the temperature is 1 100 C. After tensioning with weights, the samples and test ribbons shall be locked at the pulley position to avoid the weights giving high loading under vibration/resonant conditions. Single core samples sh
29、all be connected to a circuit as shown in Figure 2. Multi-core samples shall be connected to a circuit as shown in Figure 3. Screen cables (metal braid) shall be connected to a circuit as shown in Figure 4. 5.2 Procedure 5.2.1 Note the line current (approximately 2 A); 5.2.2 Operate the switch and o
30、bserve a 25 mA reading; 5.2.3 Leakage current flow shall not exceed 12,5 mA during the test period. 5.2.4 Sample continuity is shown when a current flow of 2 A is registered with the electrical supply switched on. The insulation degradation detection circuit shall be checked by depressing the test s
31、witch; an indication of 25 mA flow should be registered. 5.2.5 Each sample shall be simultaneously subjected to the combined flame and vibration test. The test duration shall be: 5 minutes for fire resistant cables; 15 minutes for fire proof cables. EN 3475-408:2005 Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, na, Mon
