Description:

IMPORTANT NOTICE: THIS CALCULATOR IS NOT A GENERAL PURPOSE WIRE GUAGE CALCULATOR.

IT IS INTENDED SOLELY FOR FAA REGISTERED AIRCRAFT WIRING, LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING APPROVED VOLTAGES: 14VDC, 28VDC, 115VAC, AND 200VAC.

This application assists the aircraft airframe and powerplant (A&P) mechanic in determining the correct American Wire Gauge (AWG) wire size for given conditions, following the procedures outlined in FAA Publication AC 43-13 1B (Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices - Aircraft Inspection and Repair), Chapter 11.

Conditions include circuit length, current, voltage, wire temperature (known or estimated), and derating factors for altitude and wire bundle size/loading percentage.

The application also includes utilities to help the aircraft mechanic determine various parameters without active use of AC 43-13 (when on-site conditions make it impractical), referencing specific figures:

<ul>
<li>Maximum Wire Length (standard temperature).
<ul>
<li>Input parameters: circuit voltage, current, current flow, AWG</li>
<li>Output: L1</li>
<li>Reference: AC 43-13 1B, Fig 11-2/3</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Maximum Current (standard temperature).
<ul>
<li>Input parameters: circuit voltage, current flow, wire length, AWG</li>
<li>Output: Max Current</li>
<li>Reference: AC 43-13 1B, Fig 11-2/3</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Altitude Deration Factor.
<ul>
<li>Input parameter: Max Altitude</li>
<li>Output: Altitude Deration Factor</li>
<li>Reference: AC 43-13 1B, Fig 11-6</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Bundle Deration Factor.
<ul>
<li>Input parameters: Wire Count, Loading Percentage</li>
<li>Output: Bundle Deration Factor</li>
<li>Reference: AC 43-13 1B, Fig 11-5</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>IMAX (elevated temperature).
<ul>
<li>Input parameters: ambient temperature, conductor temp rating, AWG </li>
<li>Output: IMAX </li>
<li>Reference: AC 43-13 1B, Fig 11-4a/b </li></ul></ul>

"Bundle Builder" Feature (NEW!)

<ul type="disc">
<li>Input parameters: number of wires, AWG sizes, wire currents, max altitude, ambient temp, wire rating, loading factor
<li>Output: Bundle IMAX (derated for bundle & altitude) with table for IMAX per wire
<li>Reference: AC 43-13 1B, Fig 11-4a/b
</ul>

If data extrapolation is necessary due to exceeding chart limits in input/output parameters, appropriate warnings ("** extrapolated data") are displayed.
