Has anyone ever installed electrical for a commercial plane? If so, can you offer some input on the electrical symbols. Are they the same?or standardized?

Does this count?

Was basically a box puller back in the day. ECM.

OK, if he's going to come on here and ask you jokers how to wire a commercial airliner, I am never, ever flying again. Ever.:happyno:

See ya!!!

I wish I was wiring airplanes!!! I asked about the symbols!! Also, what happen to your horse?! :lol: (hope you got the joke???.)

OK that's not so bad. The one I rode in on? I'm all hat and no cattle.:happyyes:

Got it!!! Heck, no horse, and no plane. I guess it’s time for the train... LOL!!!

I?ve been doing my research!! I came across the 400Hz generators. Interesting!! Seem to be highly efficient!!

Why 400Hz and not some other frequency?

Why 400Hz and not some other frequency?

When I say efficient, I’m talking about how small and light weight they are (400hz) in comparison to equipment supplying a 60Hz type frequency.

My question was of the choice of frequency in general. But then again, perhaps you answered it since we are talking about aircraft. Size and weight make a tremendous difference.

here is another good one: The maximum speed of a 400HZ induction motor is 24,000 RPM, approximately seven times faster than is possible with a 60HZ motor. This higher speed and the use of higher quality wire and lamination steel make it possible to produce motors with 10 times the power for the same weight and same size as a 60HZ motor.

I only get 1 horse power out of mine. :lol: I love horsing around.:roll:
