Abstract
A wire harness for an aircraft includes a high temperature section including one or more high temperature branches, each of the one or more high temperature branches including one or more cable bundles, one or more lengths of filler, and an overbraid surrounding the one or more cable bundles and the one or more lengths of filler, the overbraid including one or more secondary layers of overbraiding at predefined locations along the overbraid, a low temperature section including one or more low temperature branches, and a transition assembly separating the high and low temperatures sections.
Claims20
A wire harness for an aircraft comprising:
- a high temperature section including one or more high temperature branches, each of the one or more high temperature branches including one or more cable bundles, one or more lengths of filler, and an overbraid surrounding the one or more cable bundles and the one or more lengths of filler, the overbraid including one or more secondary layers of overbraiding at predefined locations along the overbraid;
- a low temperature section including one or more low temperature branches;
- and
- a transition assembly separating the high temperature section and the low temperatures section.
A wire harness for an aircraft comprising:
- a junction configured to be coupled to a plate in the aircraft, the junction including a body having a first end, a second end configured to extend through an opening in the plate, and a passage extending therethrough between the first and second ends;
- one or more cable bundles extending into the passage from the second end of the body;
- one or more lengths of filler extending into the passage from the second end of the body;
- and
- an overbraid coupled to the second end of the body surrounding the one or more cable bundles and the one or more lengths of filler.
A method of forming a high temperature section of a wire harness, the high temperature section including one or more high temperature branches including one or more cable bundles and one or more lengths of filler, the method including:
- performing a forward braid in a first direction a first predetermined distance around the one or more cable bundles and one or more lengths of filler to form an overbraid;
- performing a reverse braid in a second direction opposite the first direction a second predetermined distance;
- and
- performing a forward braid in the first direction the second predetermined distance forming one or more additional layers of braiding.
