GENERAL WIRE ARTICLES

• Magnet Wire - A brief description of the use and characteristics of magnet wire
• Why are some tests included in the testing of wires? - Not all wire specs are the same. Find out why.
• When should you consider a wire a life extension program? Part VIII - Through this series of articles, we have gone over all of the components that are necessary to perform a full risk assessment. These individual components have covered processes involving the wire condition assessment, physical routing, failure severity and the electrical system data components. In this article, we will examine what the comprehensive risk assessment entails.
• Wire Failure and Incident Investigation - Part II - A couple weeks back, we had an article that reviewed a couple of the characteristics of wire failure and means to detect them in a post aviation incident investigation. Here, we look at three more.
• New Research on Red Plague - Recent research conducted by TE Connectivity (formerly Tyco Electronics) showed results suggesting a previously unidentified mechanism for generating red plague.
