Cable Failures in the AN/BQS-15 Sonar System. Analysis of Failures in the Depression/Elevation Drive-Motor Power Cable and Recommendations for Their Prevention

Abstract

Design and fabrication deficiencies in the MIL-C-24217/3-001 connector cause failure of the AN/BQS-15 sonar system depression/elevation driver-motor power cable, resulting in damage to the motor. Failures in the 41 cables analyzed were caused primarily by mechanical and electrical breakdown and mishandling. Fabrication materials, methods, and inspections required to correct these problems are described
