23、 document specifies the required characteristics and test procedures for fire resistant or fire-proof electrical cables for use in aircraft electrical systems. These cables should also maintain a specific surface resistance when they are subjected to a flame of 1 100 C after 5 minutes (fire resistan
24、t) or 15 minutes (fire-proof) exposure.The insulation of these cables is designed to withstand aircraft voltages at a frequency not exceeding 2 000 Hz. Unless specified by individual product standards the maximum demonstrated ac voltage of rating of these cables is 115 V rms (phase to neutral) and 2
25、00 V rms (phase to phase) and a long term temperature of up to 260 C (ambient temperature plus temperature rise in conductor).2 Normative referencesThe following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.

30、ylindrical and shall be: of nickel clad copper alloy for nominal cross section of 0,25 mm2and 0,4 mm2; of nickel clad copper for nominal sections 0,6 mm2.The copper shall meet the requirements of IEC 60028 and the copper alloy the requirements of this standard.5BS EN 2234:2018EN 2234:2018 (E)The nic
31、kel shall not represent less than 27 % of the total mass of the individual strand.Individual strands shall show the following minimum breaking strength: 280 N/mm2for nickel clad copper; 315 N/mm2for nickel clad copper alloy.4.1.2 Lay lengthUp to 9 mm2cross section inclusive (code 090), concentric or
32、 unilay conductors are used. The lay for the stranded conductor, checked over the outside layer of a test piece 1 m long, shall be between 8 times and 16 times the maximum diameter of this conductor.For sectional areas between 14 mm2and 68 mm2(codes 140 to 680), the conductor comprises concentric or
33、 bunched conductors twisted together. The lay of the strands for the basic concentric or bunched conductors shall not exceed 30 times the diameter of the concentric or bunched conductor in question.The lay for concentric (or bunched) conductors, measured over the outer layer of the conductor, shall
34、be between 8 times and 16 times the maximum conductor diameter.In all cases the lay of the outer layer shall be left-hand.4.1.3 JointsThe conductors shall be free from any joints. Each strand comprising the conductors may, however, include soldered or brazed joints. For strands with a diameter of 0,
35、25 mm or greater, butt joints shall be used.The distance between two joints in individual strands shall exceed 3 m, measured between different strands.4.1.4 CompactionCompaction of the causing deformation of the strands or damage to the plating is not permitted.4.2 ConstructionFinished cablesThe ins
36、ulation shall be of a material, which takes on the circular shape of the conductor throughout its length. It shall closely cover the conductor without adhering to it, so that it reduces the corona effect and the risk of blistering and heat corrosion due to voids and gaseous discharges.The insulation
37、 shall be neither too tight nor too loose, so as to provide satisfactory mechanical characteristics and be easily removable using commercially available tools. (See Table 1, 6.45).The protective sheath shall be of a material, which takes on the round shape of the insulated conductor lying under it.
38、It shall provide adequate protection from mechanical damage and contamination by liquids, as specified in the product standard. The outer surface shall be smooth and suitable for identification marking.The protective sheath shall not have a corrosive effect on the screen and shall be resistant to fu
39、ngus and other.5 Required characteristicsThe characteristics of the cables, tested according to the methods described hereafter shall comply with the values given in the product standard.6 BS EN 2234:2018EN 2234:2018 (E)6 Tests methodSee Table 1.Table 1 Tests: methods, application, requirements No.T
