Customized wire harnesses are the best choice when you are looking to satisfy certain particular requirements for your application. You have the choice to choose the material, the connector, the insulation, and everything else. But, as much as you have the choice to choose your options, it is equally important to test all that is installed into the wire harness to ensure its performance, efficiency, and safety. Testing such harnesses can also detect and eliminate any faults and errors before the installation. Let’s take a look at some of the most important aspects of a wire harness that need to be accurate to avoid any errors.
Defective wires
Broken wires can disrupt power supply, thus sabotaging the working of the entire project. This is why any such defective wires must be identified. But, it isn’t easy to detect such wires. Certain wire testing tools are required for the same.
Labelling
Accurate wire harness labelling indicates everything from the length of the wire and material of the harness, to the electrical specifications and voltage capacity. Such accurate labelling makes the installation process easier and effective. But, checking the labelling of each and every wire harness can be very time-consuming and hectic. So, instead of checking every single wire harness, the bundles or packages can be checked.
Wire insulation
Any damage to the insulation of the wire harness can be a big disaster. Thus, the insulation must be well-checked to ensure that the insulation of all the wires is intact. Any marks of collision with no other damages can ask for repairs. But, any other kind of intensive damage is not acceptable.
Wire gauge accuracy
It is very crucial that a wire harness has the right gauge. There are certain specifications and measurements that need to be accomplished in every project. Even the slightest variations in these measurements can alter the gauge, and thus render the product useless. Precision and accuracy matter a lot.
Terminals and connectors
The right terminals and connectors are required, especially when the wire harness is to be used in a working environment where the conditions are harsh. For example, wire harnesses required to be used in oil refineries need to be chemical resistant. Standard terminals and connectors are definitely affordable, but they won’t survive in harsh work settings.
Corrosion and moisture protection
Protection against external factors like moisture and corrosion is important. Exposure to such elements can impact the lifespan of the wires. This is why protection against these elements is important; and there are many options for the same, regarding the material and insulation to be used.
Continuity of power supply
Ups and downs in the voltage of power can negatively impact appliances. Thus, continuous power supply is required, which can be brought about only by using quality material and standard manufacturing protocols. But, testing thousands of wire harnesses against a voltmeter can be time taking. You thus need quality assurance testing from your wire harness manufacturer. Miracle Electronics is one of the most reliable wire harness manufacturers from India who can provide you with such quality harnesses, with assured testing guarantee, before delivering them to you.
