Subject: Wiring Harness Electrical Test 

 Maico removed the containment box today allow Travis and I to further test the wiring harness. I disconnected the junction block and Travis and I repeated the test from yesterday. The all lines except the PNG tested OL. The module was then lowered and the twisted pair connected to the pin that corresponds to the steerer labeled BTM (it is likely this is not labeled correctly). This testing showed showed that the source of the short found yesterday is in the wiring harness or the source tray. The PNG gauge was then tested again. When beeping out the harness to find the location of the pin it was found that the short had gone away. This circuit was then tested with the megger at 500V and showed OL. Don Jackson has suggested looking at the SHV feed through. It is difficult to determine where the source of the problem is as it is intermittent. The source tray side wiring harness for the steerers was then disconnected from the steerers and tested to OL. Finally the connections on the source tray were tested. It was determined that the third socket down (see attached picture) has a short somewhere to ground. When Chad returns on Friday I will have him complete a visual inspection and if the source can be found we may be able to deflect the line. Failing that to repair this connection a new steerer cone assembly will need to be installed.
