Current and Temperature Rise in Aircraft Cables, Part I - Single Cables under Steady State Conditions

Abstract

In investigating the factors affecting the choice of an optimum aircraft electrical system it was found that quantitative information on many phases of system operation was lacking. One of the areas in which knowledge is needed is the current rating of cables. No sound basis for the rating of cables in bundles is generally available. Present ratings for single aircraft cables do not provide significant aid for the grouped-cable problem because the ratings are entirely empirical.
