Defines dimensions and performance requirements for multi-strand circular conductors in two conditions, ie prior to application of insulation and after insulation, as processing during manufacture of cable could change the characteristics of the conductor.

This British Standard specifies dimensions and performance requirements for multi-strand circular conductors in two distinct conditions:

  1. prior to application of insulation; and
  2. 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 applications over the nominal cross-sectional area range 0.1 mm2 to 107 mm2.

NOTE. This standard does not apply to conductors for fire-resistant cables, thermocouple extension cables or equipment wire.
