Device i.e. fixed or portable computer for calculation of lengths of sections of electric cables for electric line of aircraft, has calculating unit determining optimal length for each of cable sections from theoretical mass of each section

摘要

The device has a calculation unit (MC1) arranged to determine, for each of cable sections (T11-T13) of a line (L1), a theoretical minimum mass and a voltage drop less than or equal to a preset maximum voltage drop. The calculation unit determines a theoretical mass for an upper section and a lower section from a set of available predefined sections. Another calculating unit (MC2) determines an optimal length for each of the sections from the determined theoretical mass, so that the line has a minimum optimum mass and a voltage drop less than or equal to the preset maximum voltage drop. An independent claim is also included for a method for calculation of length of sections of electric cables.
