This specification applies to complete cable assemblies (using either molded on or attachable plugs) used to connect external electric power to aircraft and to attachable plugs used as replacement for plugs damaged in service.
The thermal modeling guidelines and best practices provided in this document are applicable to powered aerospace vehicle wires and wire bundles in thermal environments ranging from -65 to +260 °C (-85 to +500 °F) and pressures ranging from sea level to space vacuum. Currently the ARP only considers steady state and direct current conditions. The effects of wiring terminations and connectors are not addressed. Both can significantly impact the overall current derating and safety margins for a wiring system.
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is limited to the subject of compatibility of wiring as part of aircraft Electrical Wiring and Interconnect Systems (EWIS) installed in and around aircraft fuel tanks.

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) describes the etching of fluoropolymer electrical wire insulations to ensure that all facets of the process from the chemistry to the processing, to the storage and handling are well defined.
This ARP specifies the recommended methods of marking electrical wiring and harnesses to aid in the positioning/routing of electrical wiring, harnesses and cable assemblies.
These guidelines have been written to provide process information regarding the hot stamp method of marking wire identification directly on aerospace wires and cables.
