Wire Bundle Bend Radius Calculator

Calculate the minimum bend radius based on the diameter of the largest included wire or electrical cable.

Input

Minimum bend radius
100.00 mm
10 × the diameter of the largest included wire or electrical cable.
Calculation
Minimum bend radius = 10 × cable diameter

Example
10 mm cable → 10 × 10 mm = 100 mm
Wire Bundle – Minimum Bend Radius
Technical illustration of a wire bundle showing the cable cross-section, breakout support point and minimum bend radius
Minimum bend radius: 100.00 mm
Minimum bend diameter: 200.00 mm
Calculation basis: Minimum bend radius is calculated as 10 × the diameter of the largest included wire or electrical cable, provided the wiring is suitably supported at the breakout point.

This calculator is intended as a calculation aid. Always verify the applicable aircraft, wiring installation and certification requirements for the specific installation.
