Overview
EN 6059-503:2017 is a European Standard dedicated to the aerospace industry, focusing on electrical cable installations and the protective sleeves used around these cables. Specifically, this part of the standard addresses the test methods for assessing the temperature rise caused by the rated current injected on EMI protection sleeves or conduits. Developed by CEN and approved in 2017, it supersedes the 2012 edition and must be used in conjunction with EN 3475-100. The main goal is to ensure the safety and reliability of EMI protection sleeves when subjected to both permanent and fault currents in aerospace electrical cable installations.
Key Topics
- EMI Protection Sleeves Assessment: Details a standardized method to measure the temperature increase when rated electrical currents flow through the shielding of cable sleeves or conduits.
- Test Setup and Specimen Preparation:
- Specimens with lengths between 750 mm and 1000 mm are installed horizontally and lightly stretched during tests.
- Testing is conducted in controlled ambient temperature environments (typically 20 °C).
- A transparent test box with black and white striped backgrounds aids in detecting smoke, while an exhaust system manages fumes post-test.
- Connection Methods:
- Two configurations are described-without connectors and with connectors at specimen ends-detailing the use of split rings, copper-nickel flat braids, terminal lugs, and clamps to ensure proper current delivery.
- Temperature Monitoring:
- Temperature rise is indirectly measured by monitoring voltage drops across a central cable section, enabling precise determination of thermal effects.
- Test Currents and Duration:
- The standard specifies a current injection profile to simulate operational and overload conditions, ensuring that the EMI sleeves maintain stability without undesirable phenomena such as smoke, ignition, or material degradation.
- Pass/Fail Criteria:
- No visible smoke, smell, or appreciable color change is permitted at nominal current.
- Under overload conditions, no peeling, cracking, combustion, or visible smoke should occur, and temperature must remain below product-specific limits.
Applications
EN 6059-503:2017 is vital for aerospace manufacturers, electrical engineers, and quality assurance professionals involved in:
- Design and installation of aerospace electrical cables where protection sleeves shield sensitive cable bundles from electromagnetic interference.
- Testing and validation of EMI protection sleeves or conduits to comply with safety and performance benchmarks in aircraft electrical systems.
- Safety assurance during electrical fault conditions, preventing overheating that could compromise cable integrity or lead to fire hazards.
- Material selection and product development focused on enhancing the durability and reliability of aerospace cable assemblies under electrical stress.
- Regulatory compliance demonstrating adherence to European aerospace standards and contributing to international safety protocols.
Related Standards
- EN 3475-100: Aerospace series - Cables, electrical, aircraft use - Test methods - Part 100: General. This standard is integral to EN 6059-503:2017 and provides foundational testing procedures for electrical cables in aerospace applications.
- EN 6059 Series: Covers various parts relevant to electrical cable installations and protection sleeves for aerospace, encompassing mechanical, electrical, and environmental testing methodologies.
- ISO and IEC Aerospace Electrical Standards: Complementary documents addressing broader electrical wiring and cable assembly criteria for aerospace environments.
By adhering to EN 6059-503:2017, aerospace industries enhance the safety and efficiency of electrical cable systems, ensuring EMI protection sleeves perform reliably under actual operating conditions, thus contributing to safer and more durable aircraft electrical installations.
