EN 2853:20054 1 Scope 1.1 This standard specifies current rating data for cables produced with conductors as defined in EN 2083. 1.2 Electrical ratings for c
19、ontinuous and short term conditions are tabulated such that the requirements of EN 3197 are satisfied. 1.3 A procedure for establishing cable current ratings is given in Annex B of this specification. 1.4 The basis for determining current of cables has been to employ a 40 C rise as the electrical co
20、ntribution to operating temperature. Note is made in this standard that, in practice, the voltage drop requirements of EN 2282 will often dictate lower current densities. Additionally, reference to appropriate aerospace series standards for cable terminations and connectors will show constraints whi
21、ch may dictate cable size. 1.5 It is stressed that the current ratings given in this document relate solely to copper and copper alloy conductors as defined in EN 2083. The values are based upon historical evidence and are subject to the caveat given in 4.1. Accordingly the acceptance of data withou
22、t verification in any particular case is a matter of discretion by both the aircraft design and certification authorities. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

25、s of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 3475-100, EN 3197 and the following apply. 3.1 Tu the unpowered conductor temperature of a cable when in an operating environment 3.2 Tr the maximum rated temperature of a cable. Operation at or below this temperature by any combination of el
26、ectrical heating and ambient condition shall not be prejudicial to design life 3.3 duty cycle rating the load current which may be passed through a cable for the duration stated without causing the specified value of Tr to be exceeded 4 Rationale 4.1 It is recognized that the determination of precis
27、e current ratings for every cable construction and size can be shown to be a complex matter. Factors such as the thermal conductivity and thickness of insulation, test methods and the criteria employed will all have some effect. The intent of this standard is that the data presented should be suffic
28、iently accurate to permit good engineering judgement to be exercised in the context of EN 3197. However, to enable verification of precise cable rating as noted in Clause 1, a preferred method of measurement is given in Annex B of this standard. 4.2 Cable current ratings are provided, primarily to f
29、acilitate selection of the appropriate size to carry a given load. These ratings are also employed to assist, but not solely to determine, the setting of electrical protection levels. Historically some agencies have specified short term current ratings in cable specifications and such data represent
30、ed current values and durations which were deemed to be just below the overload damage point. Implicitly these were fault conditions and were to be experienced on only rare occasions. In this standard this approach has been changed and the short term ratings given herein are those which may be emplo
31、yed within a duty cycle, without prejudice to installed life. As noted in Clause 1, cable rating has been determined as that current which will cause conductor temperature to rise by 40 C and therefore this same value has been employed for short term ratings. 4.3 Annex A of this specification provid
32、es supplementary notes to the foregoing clauses. EN 2853:20056 5 Tabulated data 5.1 Current ratings See Table 1.

NOTE 1 The Duty cycle ratings and the continuous ratings are current values which may be employed without detriment to normal life. They have been determine
35、d from cables rates at a Tr of 135 C which have been heated by electrical loading from a Tu of 95 C. These 40 C temperature rise data are for single cables in free air but are generally applicable as noted in 1 and 4 and Annex A of this specification. NOTE 2 Approximate current ratings which corresp
36、ond to a conductor temperature rise of dT of other than 40 C may be calculated by applying the following formula: I2= I140Tu -TrWhere I1 is the rated current to give 40 C rise, see Table 1; I2 is the new rating; Tr is the rated temperature; Tu is the unpowered conductor temperature (local ambient).
37、NOTE 3 Annex B of this specification describes a test method for determining current rating of cables and formula for the interpretation of results.

40、es ratings for single cables in free air, which has been taken as the design case for electrical heating. Experimental and practical experience has shown that cables within a bundle benefit from proximity with cables which are lightly loaded intermittently. A.2 No account has been taken in this stan
41、dard or in EN 3197 of the effect of altitude on heat dissipation. The view has been taken that cables which are likely to be electrically loaded to a level approaching their rated temperature would be in the pressurized zones of an aircraft, which does not create any significant altitude de-rating.
42、Cables in unpressurized areas generally experience very low temperatures when at altitude which more than offset any altitude de-rating. A.3 It is accepted that the adoption of a 40 C rise by electrical heating may appear to be slightly cautious. The establishment of this datum recognizes the disadv
43、antage of having “hot cables“ in aircraft in respect of the effect upon the installation, risks to servicing personnel, the reduction of “resistance to failure“ and the adverse effect upon installed life. The limiting effect of voltage drop and the design limitation of associated wiring accessories
44、has been recognized in this standard. A.4 The significance of the rating of cables to the setting of electrical protection levels has been noted. It is, however, now widely appreciated that such protection only has relevance to faults which represent a classic overload. Electrical faults taking the
45、form of high resistance joints or intermittent splashing and arcing between cables or to ground (earth) usually are not identifiable as overloads until the fault is considerably developed. Clearly the adoption of the lowest rating of protection trip level, short of unreliability, is desirable. EN 28
46、53:20059 Annex B (normative) Current rating tests B.1 General As noted in this standard, it may be necessary to establish current rating figures for a cable construction or cable application which differs from the established norms or for certification purposes. This Annex gives a method for establi
47、shing the continuous rating of cable and also short duration “duty cycle” ratings. The shortest duration has been set at 2 s because, in practice, current ratings at shorter periods would be difficult to achieve due to factors such as cable voltage drop and power supply regulation. However, the test
48、 method may be employed for duration of less than 2 s if this is required for purposes such as protection co-ordination. B.2 Test rationale B.2.1 The basic test method requires that a single cable be raised in temperature from a value Tu by a set increment, typically 40 C as in this specification, t
49、o a value Tr, the rated temperature of the cable. The current values given in Table 1 herein were established for a cable with a Tr of 135 C. Therefore Tu in this case is (Tr 40) C = 95 C B.2.2 Determination of cable temperature rise is achieved by monitoring the change in resistance of the test specimen, this being calculated from voltage and current measurements. For larger sizes of cable it may be practical to measure conductor temperature with a thermocouple, placed under the cable insulation tightly against the conductor. It shall
