This app is designed to assist the Aviation Maintenance Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) mechanic in determining the correct American Wire Gauge (AWG) wire size for given conditions, according to procedures outlined in FAA Publication AC 43-13 1B (Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices - Aircraft Inspection and Repair), Chapter 11.
Features
Conditions include circuit length, current, voltage, wire temperature (known or estimated) and derating factors for both altitude and wire bundle size/loading percentage.
The app also contains utilities that enable the aircraft mechanic to determine the following parameters without hands-on use of the AC 43-13 (when field/shop conditions make it impractical). Figures are referenced:- Maximum Wire Length (standard temperature).
-- Input parameters: circuit voltage, current, current flow and AWG.
-- Output: L1.-- Ref: AC 43-13 1B, Fig 11-2/3
- Maximum Current (standard temperature).
-- Input parameters: circuit voltage, current flow, wire length and AWG.
-- Output: Max Current.-- Ref: AC 43-13 1B, Fig 11-2/3
- Altitude Deration Factor.
-- Input parameter: Max Altitude.
-- Output: Altitude Deration Factor.
-- Ref: AC 43-13 1B, Fig 11-5- Bundle Deration Factor.
-- Input parameters: Wire Count and Loading Percentage
-- Output: Bundle Deration Factor.
-- Ref: AC 43-13 1B, Fig 11-6- IMAX (elevated temperature).
-- Input parameters: ambient temperature, conductor temperature rating and AWG.
-- Output: IMAX.
-- Ref: AC 43-13 1B, Fig 11-4a/bWhen a chart does depict data due to input/output parameters exceeding chart limits, data is extrapolated and an appropriate warning ("** extrapolated data") is shown.
