Original aircraft manufacturers have designed and built aircraft with various wire types due to the improvement of technology, materials, and processing of wire. New aircraft may have multiple wire types in the same aircraft to meet various environmental zone requirements. Wiring sections may be modified or rewired with the same wire that was originally installed in the aircraft or with a newer, more advanced wire, thus mixing wire types in bundles. Little data has been generated and published indicating whether mixing wire types creates problems with the long-term integrity of the electrical wiring. The objective of this research was to assess past and current guidelines, to review prior research and test data, and to perform additional testing to determine the effects of mixed wire types in electrical wiring interconnection systems in aged aircraft. Where applicable, develop recommendations regarding the mixing of wire types in aircraft applications.
