InterConnect Wiring Profile

Ground support equipment refers to the specialized tools and devices used to service military and commercial aircraft on the ground. Ground support equipment is used for routine maintenance or unscheduled repair and is critical for ensuring the various systems on the aircraft are working properly. InterConnect Wiring has the capability to manufacture the electrical ground support assemblies and test equipment you need for many fixed-wing platforms such as the C-130, F-15, and F-16 as well as rotary-wing aircraft such as the Bell 525 and the Sikorsky UH-60.

What does EWIS mean? EWIS is an acronym for Electrical Wiring InterConnect System or Electrical Wiring InterConnection System (EWIS). EWIS means any wire, wiring device, or combination of these, including termination devices, installed in any area of the aircraft for transmitting electrical energy, including data and signals between two or more intended termination points.

InterConnect is starting a series of blogs to discuss different aspects of aircraft electrical wiring harnesses. InterConnect will provide definitions, descriptions, and photos of not only common parts used to manufacture wiring harnesses but also discussions of how to design wiring harnesses as well as lessons learned when designing wiring harnesses. Today’s blog is “What is a wiring harness?”. Learn more about this here: https://www.interconnect-wiring.com/blog/what-is-a-wiring-harness/.

A common question asked of InterConnect Wiring is, “Can InterConnect repair or overhaul a wiring harnesses?” The short answer to this question is “Yes we can!” The long answer is that in many cases it is less expensive to produce a new wiring harness instead of repairing or overhauling an old one.

A system wiring diagram is exactly what it sounds like – a diagram of the wiring required for a system. It forms the starting point for harness design because it contains the signal paths and at least some information about the wire types (such as wire gauge) necessary to electrically connect components in the aircraft.
