What is the maximum slack allowed between the supports of a single wire or bundle installation?

The maximum slack allowed between the supports of a single wire or bundle installation is 1/2 inch. This specification is important to ensure proper functioning and safety of electrical systems. Excess slack can result in vibrations and movement that may damage the wires, leading to electrical failures or shorts. Additionally, maintaining this limit helps prevent hazards related to tangling or interference with other systems in an aircraft or machinery environment. This careful attention to slack ensures that the installation is reliable, minimizing risks during operation and promoting longevity in the wiring systems used.
