Wording:
Bundle, Harness: A set of cables makes up a bundle, a set of bundles makes up a harness.
2.1
WIRING SEGREGATION
2.1.1 ALLOCATION OF ELECTRICAL AND OPTICAL CABLES IN ROUTES

Due to the Fly-by-Wire technology on Airbus aircraft, the installation of electrical components are
based on highest possible quality standards and therefore have to follow certain rules that are not
necessarily applicable in other industries.
For above reasons and possible electro-magnetic interference, the electrical & optical cables are installed physically separated in routes.
Route: A route is the way taken by an electric cable to go from one point to another.
Routes are classified according to main criteria:
CATEGORY OF ROUTE
SYSTEM ASSIGNMENT
CATEGORY OF ROUTE
A category of route is defined according to the nature of the cables and/ or the type of signal they
transmit. The next determination is a separation of Essential and Non-Essential routes. This classification shows the different importance and function of the routes.
Also the routes are divided into basic and customised routes:
Wirings are installed generally in phase A or phase B:
Phase A: installed during the manufacturing of the aircraft section (basic routes)
Phase B: installed on or after Final Assembly line (customised routes)
Summing up there are the following general allocations:
-
Essential basic (phase A)

Non-Essential basic (phase A)
Non-Essential customised (phase B)
Essential customised (phase B)
In the scope of the EDR are only customised circuits installed in phase B.
SYSTEM ASSIGNMENT
Basically, two different electrical systems are defined for each category of routes: P, M, S . in order
to avoid that a single failure affects simultaneously both channels of a redundant system (for definition
of routes see 2.1.1.1). In order to maintain homogeneity in separation of systems, systems powered
by generators 1 and 2 will use route 1 and systems powered by generators 3 and 4 will use route 2.
Routes are called respectively, e.g. route 1 or route 2 of a dedicated route category.

REQUIREMENTS
FOR CABIN INTERIOR
Ref: 9200M1F0380 00
Issue: 02
Date: 01.07.2004
For above mentioned reasons the design aim of wire bundle installation shall be a cable routing physically separated by distances and without any contact to other components or surrounding structure,
including sagging, vibration, swelling.
Protection means (like conduits, edge profiles etc.) shall be seen as additional help only, if it is absolutely not possible to keep the minimum distances as described in this specification.
Without any chafing marks or abnormal stress on the cables, appropriate bending radii etc., the service life of electrical installations in cabin furnishing equipment could be extended significantly.
2.1.1.1 CATEGORIES OF ROUTES
For cabin interiors, the following route categories are in the scope of EDR:
o

o
P (Power distribution; >15A)

M (Miscellaneous cables)
S (Sensitive Cables)
R (Audio and Video cables).
- Power distribution: P (Ref. Table 5: POWER DISTRIBUTION (P))

This category includes power supplies of systems with loads greater than 15 A.
- Miscellaneous cables: M (Ref. to Table 6: MISCELLANEOUS ROUTES (M))
This category includes power supply up to 15 Ampere, passive cables (i.e. cables which do not necessitate special separation requirements).
- Sensitive cables: S (Ref. to Table 7: SENSITIVE ROUTES (S))
This category includes cables, which are sensitive to interference.
- Audio and Video cables: R (Ref. to Table 8: AUDIO AND VIDEO ROUTES (R))

2.1.2 ROUTE DESIGNATION

The designation of the electrical routes comprises a number of digits allowing unambiguous identification of the electrical routes.
Generally, this designation is related to segregation and allows the physical separation of the electrical
wiring and/or interconnections to be guaranteed and verified.
Routes R generally only comprise 2 digits. Routes P, M and S may have up to 6 digits.
Only the 1st ,2nd and 3rd digit are of interest to the EDR, digit 4-6 are used for Airbus internal designations:
1st and in some cases 2nd digit: Assignment of system to route
e.g.: 1, 2, 3.(a route named

with a 2 in front, shows a customised route, e.g.: 21, 22,
23...)
2nd or 3rd digit: A letter shows the Category of route
e.g.: M, S...

Background: Aicraft-wiring may be defined as Aluminium-type cable.
Therefore cable-type on interface connector (between Aicraft-side connector and
equipment connector) may be of different type and - because of different electrical resistances - gauges of these cables may change.
This will be defined by System Engineering and given in wiring-diagrams.

It shall be ensured that temperature derating effects will have no negative influence on
operating performances of all connector parts and accessories.
Type and size of contacts as well as type of connector shells and accessories shall be
selected taking into account this effect.

2.3.4 TEMPERATURE EFFECTS

2.3.4.1 "OUT-OF-BUNDLE" UTILISATION
D-CGU-10-9200-825-1
The wire temperature due to Joule effect (temperature increase, electrical heating) out
of bundle shall not exceed 25C.
Figure 8 - Figure 12 permit to evaluate the temperature rise of a supplied electrical cable.
Example: An "out-of-bundle" gauge 24 cooper-cable supplied with 4 A will be subjected to a joule
effect temperature rise under 20C (Figure 8 Cable temperature with respect to its intensity Out-ofbundle).
2.3.4.2 "IN-BUNDLE" UTILISATION
The grouping of cables "in bundle" reduces the thermal exchanges with the environment. In any case,
these events shall not damage the bundle.
Figure 13 shows the derating coefficient with respect to the bundle load.
D-CGU-10-9200-823-1
For all categories of routes, the elevated temperature due to Joule effect (temperature
rice, electrical heating) shall not exceed 40C.

REQUIREMENTS

Ref: 9200M1F0380 00
Issue: 02
Date: 01.07.2004
The temperature depends on the number of cables making up the bundle and the current intensity. As
the number of cables is fixed, the bundle temperature can only be limited by decreasing the wire
gauge to limit joule heating effect.
Example: As for the cable mentioned in the previous paragraph.
A bundle constituted of 17 cables, 80% loaded would lead to a derating coefficient of 0.5.
This would ask to choose the wire for an intensity of 8 Amps (4 / 0.5 Amps).
In that case the temperature rise by the 24-gauge cable would be 61C (> 40C).
Thus we should take a 22 gauge wire. The joule effect heating will be then about 35C (<40C).
D-CGU-10-9200-820-1
Outside panels, taking into account ambient temperature, the harness temperature
should be limited to a maximum of 60C.
This requirement recognises the disadvantage of having "hot cables" in the aircraft in respect of the
effect upon the installation, risks to servicing personnel, the increased possibility of failure and the
adverse effect upon the harness life.

2.6.4 PROTECTION BY PEEK CONDUIT ABS0887

D-CGU-10-9200-888-1
For the installation of the PEEK conduit the clamp ABS 1339 should be used.
D-CGU-10-9200-889-1
If the clamp ABS 1339 cant be installed, a V-support on PEEK conduit may be used.
For using a V-support 2 overlapped layers of tape ASNA 5107 (see Figure 54) shall be
used. The installation of V-supports on PEEK conduit without tape leads to a crushing
at the cable tie level due to the stress. This damage is not acceptable.
Figure 54
D-CGU-10-9200-890-1
For conduit fixation on structure clamp ABS 1339 shall be used in all areas except:
- in hot temperature area, on dynamic bundles..., there a P clamp may be used
- in inaccessible pressurised areas, a V-support may be used with additional tape
ASNA5107 (2 overlapped layers) under the cable-tie in order to absorb the stress
(not preferred solution).
D-CGU-10-9200-891-1
For conduit extremity protection and fixation on backshell a compensation NSA935829

code A at the exit of the conduit shall be used to avoid chafing of cables at the conduit
extremity (see Figure 55). Alternatively an additional clamp shall be installed near the
exit of the conduit and centred on the harness (see Figure 56) or tape shall be used
(see Figure 57) to protect the cables.

2.10 GROUNDING AND BONDING

2.10.1 DEFINITION / WORDING
Related to the subject of the EDR terms are defined as followed:
Electrical Bonding
Bonding refers to the establishment of a current path between electric conductive parts in order to assure
electrical continuity. This path may be between two points on a system ground plane as well as between
ground reference and a part, circuit or structure element.
Grounding
Grounding refers to the establishment of a current path to a reference potential (ground reference). The
ground reference for aircraft is the metallic aircraft structure.
Safety Ground
Equipment inside Passenger Cabin shall be electrically grounded.
to prevent personnel from receiving electrical shock due to insulation breakdown in equipment and cables.
To ensure electrostatic protection:
Electrostatic charges may be accumulated on dielectric surfaces or on non conductive components
that are electrically insulated from the conductive aircraft main structure. The protection against the
adverse effects of electrostatic charging includes the prevention of equipment damage or upset when
touched by a person that may carry electric charges.
Current Return
Current return refers to the return of power supply currents. It is not primarily a subject of electrical bonding.
However often current return is established by using the metallic A/C structure as a return conductor. In such
cases the bonding points of the current return leads shall be segregated in order to avoid cross coupling with
other bonding leads.
Conductive or semi-conductive surface
included conductive surfaces (metall, metalized) and partly conductive surfaces (conductive composite:
carbon, glare...)
D-CGU-10-9200-472-1
Each bonding path shall have a current rating suitable to carry the largest current expected
under normal, fault and ageing conditions throughout the aircraft life.

2.11 IDENTIFICATION OF CABLES

2.11.1.1
IDENTIFICATION RULES ACCORDING TO CABLE CATEGORIES
There are three main cable categories:

-Unidentified cables
-Sleeved cables
-Printable cables
2.11.1.2
D-CGU-10-9200-562-1
2.11.1.3
UNIDENTIFIED CABLES
Unidentified cables shall be:
-very short cables (length < 75 mm)
-monitoring cables in line on adjacent circuit breakers
IDENTIFICATION BY SLEEVES
Sleeved cables are cables which cannot be directly marked on account of their physical make-up or
where marking may damage the insulation (e.g.: coaxial).
D-CGU-10-9200-564-1
This category shall include:

-Gauge cables which cannot be printed by UV laser
-Cable shorter than 75 mm located inside electrical racks
-Optical cable (OPTICAL CABLE written)
D-CGU-10-9200-565-1
Sleeved cables shall be identified using NSA 937201ME sleeves placed at each end
of the cable and bearing the cable identification characters. The sleeves shall be
white, printed in black except for sensitive cables (print code S) where the sleeves
are pink, printed in black.
2.11.1.4
PRINTABLE CABLES
D-CGU-10-9200-567-1
This category should mainly concern gauge 26 to gauge 6 cables, which may have
lengths greater than 75 mm.
D-CGU-10-9200-568-1
Printable cables shall be identified by directly marking identification characters on the

insulation in a repetitive manner.

3 DESIGN PROCESS REQUIREMENTS

3.1
GENERAL
Electrical components to be installed in the A380 aircraft have to accomplish the Airbus standard.
Items, which fulfil these conditions are registered in the Airbus electrical component Standard Selection List. Sections of this document, which include the relevant parts for the EDR are listed in the Appendix.
For searching a particular Airbus qualified electrical component, it is possible to take it directly from
this list. This procedure ensures that the selected item is approved.
In the case of special items, which are not listed in this document, it is necessary to qualify them. This
procedure includes a variety of tests, depending on the function of the component. Common tests for
standard components are listed in 3.4. The full test description is published by the European Association of Aerospace Industries Standardization (AECMA-STAN). Due to proprietary issues the test
procedures cant be provided by Airbus, but it is possible to get the tests under www.aecma-stan.org.
For the qualification a complete Qualification Test Plan and Report (see 3.4) is essential. The QTP
shall be approved by the responsible Airbus system specialist. After the approval the QTR can be
created.
Generally all requirements for parts and components which are not listed in this document and which
shall be meet are in responsibility of the Airbus system specialist.
3.2 REQUIREMENTS AND RULES FOR MATERIAL QUALIFICATION

Basis for the qualification of electrical components, intended for installation in civil aircraft, forms the
ABD 0100, which has replaced the ABD 0007, as well as appropriate technical specifications of standard parts (ABS, EN, etc.).
ABD 0100 section 1.2 describes the site conditions and test requirements in connection with a qualification of the components. The components are tested regarding the following site conditions. The test
extent and the used regulations (e.g. DO 160, ABD 0031) are specified by the PTS (purchaser technical specification).
The supplier is responsible for ensuring that the components used originate from a source having valid
company/quality approvals and are qulified for the intended application.
If there is a reason of using not qulified components, a qualification test plan and a qualification test
report, approved by Airbus, is necessary.
3.3
ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
For the equipment, which is used inside the cabin the following test parts are relevant:
- temperature
- altitude, pressure
- temperature variation
- humidity
- shock and crash safety
- vibration
- waterproofness
- fluids susceptibility
- fungus resistance

3.3.1 TEMPERATURE
This definition is according to DO160.
Tests are available for Category A1: Components intended for installation in a controlled temperature
pressurized location, on an aircraft where pressure is normally not lower than the altitude of 15.000 ft
Sea Level.
At flight operation low...high temperature: -15+55C
At short time flight operation high temperature: +70C
At ground survival lowhigh temperature: -55+85C
At cooling air temperature: +70C
3.3.2 ALTITUDE, PRESSURE

The applicable conditions are defined in the PTS.
3.3.3 TEMPERATURE VARIATION

Depending on the temperature variation procedures the following rate is applicable:
Category C For components in a temperature controlled internal section of the aircraft: 2 degrees
Celsius minimum per minute. A minimum of two cycles shall be accomplished.
3.3.4 HUMIDITY
The standard humidity environment, category A, provides a test environment for components, which
are intended for installation in civil aircraft. The severe humidity of the environmentally controlled compartments of the aircraft is normally not encountered (e.g. 95% rel. humidity at 50C).
3.3.5 SHOCK AND CRASH SAFETY

Category B Generally components have to be installed in fixed-wing aircraft and tested for standard
operational shock and crash safety.
The operational shock test verifies that the components will continue to function within performance
standards after the shock experienced.
The crash safety test verifies that certain equipments will not detach from its mountings and that it will
not separate in a manner that effect a hazard during an emergency landing.

3.3.6 VIBRATIONS
Category S or S2 Standard Vibration Test.
The standard vibration tests ensure that components will meet their functional performance requirements during normal operating conditions. For components located in the fuselage and Category S or
S2 the test curve is specified as type C. The test level for this type C is shown in Figure 8-1 Standard
Random Vibration Test Curves for Components Installed in Fixed-Wing Aircraft with Turbojet or Turbofan Engines.
3.3.7 WATERPROOFNESS
This test specifies how the components can withstand water, which is sprayed or fallen on the equipment. Components which are installed in locations where they subject to falling water are identified as
Category W. For components intended for installation in such locations, the drip proof test procedure
is necessary and the components are identified as Category W.
3.3.8 FLUIDS SUSCEPTIBILITY

This test specifies how the components can withstand water, which is sprayed or fallen on the equipment. Fluids susceptibility tests should only be performed if the components are installed in areas
where fluid contamination (fuels, hydraulic fluids, oils, cleaning fluids, de-icing fluids, insecticides, sullage) could be commonly encountered. Components that passed the test are identified as Category F.
3.3.9 FUNGUS RESISTANCE

This test defines how fungi affects component material (reasons are e.g. high humidity, warm atmosphere and inorganic salts). A typical problem is that microorganism produces living bridges across
components that may produce electrical failures. In this case components are identified as Category F.
3.3.10 SALT SPRAY

This test shows the consequences of a salt atmosphere or salt spray for the components. The main
effects are: corrosion of metals, blocking of moving parts as a result of salt deposits, insulation fault,
damage of contacts and uncoated wiring. Components that have passed the test are identified as
Category S.

3.3.11 CORROSION
The Supplier has to demonstrate that the materials, which he used for the design of the component,
are adequately protected against corrosion. He has to use only qualified methods.
3.3.12 HERMETIC
The PTS defines if EN 60068-2-17 is applicable. In case of electrical components EN 60068-2-17 Test
of Dive into liquids is not applicable. It shall determine a degree of protection provided by enclosures
(IP-Code) according to IEC 60529.
3.3.13 FIRE
The PTS will define if ISO2685 is applicable.
Not applicable are no fire zones in accordance to ISO2685 (Resistance to fire in designated fire
zones).
3.3.14 FLAMMABILITY/ SMOKE/ TOXICITY (FIREWORTHINESS DESIGN CRITERIA)

The supplier has to demonstrate in accordance with the procurement procedure that this item complies with the FST-requirements. The use of a BFE-item, which complies with the applicable certification requirements but fails to meet the Airbus FST-requirements, may be permitted, as long as national
airworthiness requirements are not concerned. In this case, it is the responsibility of the supplier to
inform the costumer, that there is a deviation to the ABD0031. The deviation has to be reverenced in
the respective test documentation and DDP for Airbus monitoring purposes only.
3.4
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The values of electrical parameters during the qualification test are provided in ABD0100.1.8 Electrical and Installation Requirements.
These regulations are very general and correspond to the well-known relevant regulations of electrical
technology.
During a component qualification test, it shall be shown that the electrical components are in compliance with the electrical requirements.
Generally, all electrical requirements for parts and components are in the responsibility of the Airbus
system specialist.
The required tests for the main components are available, e.g.
