Brief Description:  Sizing Bus Wiring

I started looking at the elecrical busses tonight and began to figure the wire sizing for each bus. I am having a total of six busses to feed the electrical needs of the airplane.

I used the charts located in AC 43.13-1B Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices - Aircraft Inspection and Repairs to run the wire size scenarios. I also had a couple other charts that I used to double check.

I made sure to amply size the wiring.....there is no reason to worry much about weight of wiring in small aircraft in my estimation. If you minimally size the wiring you won't be worried about the weight savings (which really is miniscule) when your having a bus wire meltdown in flight.....my opinion anyway.

So I pretty much got the wiring for each bus sized.....will start the CB panel next session.
