Electrical Wiring Installation The following recommended procedures for installing aircraft electrical wiring are typical of those used on most types of aircraft. For purposes of this discussion, the following definitions are applicable: 1. Open wiring—any wire, wire group ... wire bundle not enclosed in conduit. 2. Wire group—two or more wires in the same location, tied together to identity the group. 3. Wire bundle—two or more wire groups tied together because they are going in the same…

Wire Size Wire is manufactured in sizes according to a standard known as the American wire gauge (AWG). The wire diameters become smaller as the gauge numbers become larger. The largest wire size shown in Figure 4-81 is number ... smallest is number 40. Larger and smaller sizes are manufactured but are not commonly used. Figure 4-80. Two types of aircraft wire. Wire size may be determined by using a wire gauge. [Figure 4-82] This type of gauge…

Electrical Equipment Installation This section provides general procedures and safety precautions for installation of commonly used aircraft electrical equipment and components. Electrical load limits, acceptable means of controlling or monitoring electrical loads, and circuit protection devices are subjects with which ... mechanics must be familiar to properly install and maintain aircraft electrical systems. Electrical Load Limits When installing additional electrical equipment that consumes electrical power in an aircraft, the total electrical load must be safely controlled or managed within the rated…
