Spring Series: What Is Insulation Resistance Testing?
Posted by Clare McGarrey on April 7, 2020
Continuing our Spring Series, let’s take a look at what exactly insulation resistance testing is. Every electrical wire, whether it’s in an F-16 cockpit panel, UH-60 circuit breaker, or V-22 wiring harness, is carefully protected with some type of electrical insulation. The wire itself is a conductor of electricity. The insulation is opposite from the • Read More >>
What Does Fly By Wire Mean?
Posted by Clare McGarrey on January 14, 2020
Here at InterConnect Wiring, we obviously use wire…. a lot of wire; therefore, when I hear the term “fly by wire” I immediately conclude that InterConnect has more action to take to support FLY BY WIRE aircraft vs NON-FLY BY WIRE aircraft. But does it really mean that? As a non-engineer (my degrees are in • Read More >>
