BS 3G 231:1997

This standard BS 3G 231:1997 Specification for conductors for general-purpose aircraft electrical cables and aerospace applications is classified in these ICS categories:

• 49.060 Aerospace electric equipment and systems

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.
