Wire Identification
Wire Identification There are two families of wire types: A. United States (US) : The United States (US) wire types are installed on A300/A310/A300-600. Their core diameter has US diameters. For example AKA gauge 24 has 19 strands diameter 0.127 mm (0.01 in.). B. Metric (M) Types: The Metric (M) wire types are installed on the other Airbus A/C for weight saving. For example CF gauge 24 has 19 strands diameter 0.12 mm (0.0050 in.). P/N Identification All the wire types (US and Metric) agree with Standards (ABS, ASNE, EN, NSA,...). The wires are identified as follows: Standard P/N - Wire type code - Wire gauge ABSXXXX - XX - XX EXXXX - XX - XX NSAXXXXXX - XX - XX For EN Part Numbers: Standard P/N - Code letter for number of cores - Wire gauge code - Insulation color code ENXXXX - XXX X XXX X If it is necessary to replace between US and metric types of wires on the aircraft y...
