Project 1

AIM:

• To route the wiring harness for the given engine.
• Application of all Packaging rules, Industry best practices studied in this course shall be demonstrated in design.
• Apply Protection coverings as required.

First step is to define the componenets given

 

 

 

Packaging Rules:

• The routing of the wiring harness must make it simple to manufacture, make the attached equipment and wiring harness accessible, and make it simple to remove and maintain.
• Avoid routing through tiny structural holes and gaps, and when installing the wiring harness, handle it as little as possible.
• When assembling or using the harness, avoid routing and clipping in the operator's blind zone.
• Routing must provide defence against potential harm caused by common abuses such serving as a handhold and temporary support for test equipment.
• According to the environment and the harness's bending requirements, add more slack to the harness.
• Ensure the routing meets the clearance requirements with different surrounding parts.
• When routing close to bolted joints, avoid going over the bolts. The harness could be harmed or even pierced. Spare the panel mounting screws from the harness.
• Avoid harness routing near sharp edges, if not possible provide protection to the harness.
• The maximum distance between two clips on a straight branch is 200mm.
• If the harness is going to bend in several places, provide clips and clamps.
• The use of too many sheet-metal brackets should be avoided.
• The branch length should be more than 50 mm.
• Min distance between clip and branching point to be 25 mm.
• Min distance between two branch breakouts should be 50 mm
