splice. Figure 2-67. Swage-type terminal fittings. Note: Never solder the cable ends to prevent fraying since the solder greatly increases the tendency of the cable to pull out of the terminal. • Insert the cable into the terminal approximately ... terminal. Then, push the cable end all the way into the terminal. The bending action puts a slight kink in the cable end and provides enough friction to hold the terminal in place until the swaging operation is performed. [Figure…

Wire Installation & Routing Open Wiring Interconnecting wire is used in point-to-point open harnesses, normally in the interior or pressurized fuselage, with each wire providing enough insulation to resist damage from handling and service exposure. Electrical wiring is often ... installed in aircraft without special enclosing means. This practice is known as open wiring and offers the advantages of ease of maintenance and reduced weight.

contactor would disconnect the alternator from the bus. Figure 9-82. Schematic GCU control of the exciter field magnetism. Aircraft Electrical Systems Virtually all aircraft contain some form of an electrical system. The most basic aircraft must produce electricity ... operation of the engine’s ignition system. Modern aircraft have complex electrical systems that control almost every aspect of flight. In general, electrical systems can be divided into different categories according to the function of the system. Common systems include…

Power Systems Since certain electrical systems operate only on AC, many aircraft employ a completely AC electrical system, as well as a DC system. The typical AC system would include an AC alternator (generator), a regulating system for that alternator ... power distribution buses, and related fuses and wiring. Note that when referring to AC systems, the terms “alternator” and “generator” are often used interchangeably. This chapter uses the term “AC alternator.” AC power systems are becoming more popular on modern…

Some aircraft use an inverter power switch to control AC power. Many aircraft simply power the inverter whenever the DC bus is powered and no inverter power switch is needed. On complex aircraft, more than one inverter may be used ... provide a backupAC power source. Many inverters also offer more than one voltage output. Two common voltages found on aircraft inverters are 26VAC and 115VAC. Figure 9-97. Aircraft landing gear schematic while gear is moving to the UP position…
