Chapter 4: Engine Ignition & Electrical Systems › Magneto-Ignition System Operating Principles › Ignition Harness
ignition harness cuts down electrical interference with the aircraft radio and other electrically sensitive equipment. A magneto is a high frequency radiation emanating (radio wave) device during its operation. The wave oscillations produced in the magneto are uncontrolled and cover ... lead shielding prevents the radiation of the energy into the surrounding area. Capacitance is the ability to store an electrostatic charge between two conducting plates separated by a dielectric. Lead insulation is called a dielectric, meaning it can store electrical…

Chapter 12: Fundamentals of Electricity & Electronics › Static Electricity › Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Considerations
frequent causes of damage to a solid-state component or integrated circuits is the electrostatic discharge (ESD) from the human body when one of these devices is handled. Careless handling of line replaceable units (LRUs), circuit cards, and discrete components ... open connectors and not placing an ESD-sensitive component in an environment that causes damage. Parts that are ESD sensitive are typically shipped in bags specially designed to protect components from electrostatic damage. Other precautions that should be taken with…
