Scope
It is the purpose of this document to present design recommendations that will provide a basis for satisfactory and safe electrical installations in transport aircraft. This document is not intended to be a complete electrical installation design handbook. However, the requirements for safety extend so thoroughly throughout the electric systems that few areas of the installation are untouched by the document. It is recognized that individual circumstances may alter the details of any design. It is, therefore, important that this document not be considered mandatory but be used as a guide to good electrical application and installation design.
Transport aircraft electric systems have rapidly increased in importance over a number of years until they are now used for many functions necessary to the successful operation of the aircraft. An ever increasing number of these functions are critical to the safety of the aircraft and its occupants. The greatly increased power available in electric systems is another factor in aircraft safety. These considerations make it essential that aircraft electrical design practices be carefully considered from the standpoint of safety and reliability. It is believed that this document will be of value in pointing out potential difficulties and in solving many of the problems.
Rationale
Improve conductor voltage drop values by including an estimated conductor temperature formula to 9.3.4.2.

Issuing Committee
AE-8A Elec Wiring and Fiber Optic Interconnect Sys Install
SAE Committee AE-8A, Electrical Wiring and Fiber Optic Interconnect Systems Installation, is associated with those activities directed by the Aerospace Electronics and Electrical Systems Division of SAE and SAE Committee AE-8, Aerospace Electrical/Electronic Distribution Systems which relate to installation and maintenance of electrical wire systems and associated hardware standards and specifications.
Reference
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
