The method of layout and placement of electrical equipment of the aircraft

On-board electrical equipment is one of the vital complexes of aircraft equipment. The process of designing an aircraft power supply system consists of solving many problems: the development of electrical circuits, wiring electrical circuits, etc. The task of designing an on-board electrical equipment complex is becoming more and more time-consuming due to their complexity. In the design process, other equipment is combined with the on-board electrical equipment complex, including the formation of harnesses, routes and electrical structures. On board the aircraft, up to 150 electrical structures of various types are installed: junction boxes, switchgears and blocks. Such electrical construction includes several circuit boards, about 50 elements and several hundred electrical circuits. To reduce the design time for on-board electrical equipment, this article proposes a method of layout and placement of electrical equipment of the aircraft, including a mathematical model, an algorithm for layout and placement of electrical equipment and its software implementation.
