2000F POWER WIRE FOR AEROSPACE ENVIRONMENT.

Abstract

Twenty-two gage and twelve-gage power wires fabricated sing rhodium conductors, magnesium oxide insulation, platinum sheathing, and alumina end seals. The wire systems maintained their electrical integrity through a variety of environmental tests including vibration, mechanical shock, acceleration, humidity, vacuum, and nuclear radiation. The wires were operated successfully at temperatures up to and including 2000F. Rated current was determined and assigned as 10 amperes for 22-gage and 60 amperes for 12-gage wires. The wires passed two final cyclihe final cyclic test of carrying rated current at room temperature for two hours, at high vacuum for twenty-five hours and at a reduced pressure at 2000F for three hours.
