Airframe Electrical System

Question: What things should be considered when selecting suitable electrical wiring in regards to its insulation characteristics?

(Source: FAA AC 43.13-1B/2B)

Expert Solution

Step 1

When current is drawn through a conductor, heat is generated. Insulation have a limit up to which they can withstand temperature. Thus, the things that should be considered when selecting suitable electrical wiring in regards to its insulation characteristics are:

Size of the conductor: Size determines the resistance of the conductor, which in turn is responsible for the heat generation.
Current rating of conductor: to protect the insulation from too much heat, the current through the conductor must be maintained below a certain value.
