Hi! Alfred
Not being a "pro" with this "wire bound water" called electricity !!!!! I
wasn't going to reply
especially since you have had a good responce, however I'll repeat what I
said to another enquiry recently on this forum. If I had my "time over
again" I would ensure that I have a completely separate system for
"grounding" every concievable item back to the engine or battery direct and
so ensure that the "negative" part of all the power supply circuits are
completely separated from the "grounding" circuit with their own circuit
systems.
Someone would have done me a favour to explain there are two types of return
........ !!!!!!
Also remember that aluminium has no capacity to shield magnetism ,like if
you put a sheet of metal across the rear of the bulkhead it needs to be thin
gauge stainless, or you'll need to buy 5 litres (minimum order) of Nickle
Based paint at about 200 a go !!!!

Subject:  Bundling of coax cables


Hi Europa-cracks,

The cable ducts from the rear fuselage to the instrument panel will be one
of the next steps of my building activity. Before I start to do this, I'd
like to know if there is a problem when I put the coax cables into the same
cable duct. I use RG-400U for the transponder and the comm antennas and
RG-58U for the VOR antenna. Do these coax cables interfere with each other
when they are in a bundle? Any experiences and technical explanations from
the electronic knowledge blessed among us?
