CS 31TGB.69 Electric cables and equipment ED Decision 2013/011/R (a) Each electric connecting cable has adequate capacity and is correctly routed, attached and connected so as to minimise the probability of short circuits and fire hazards. (b) Overload protection is provided for each electrical equipment. No protective device protects more than one circuit essential to flight safety. (c) Unless each cable installation from the battery to a circuit protective device or master switch, whichever is closer to the battery, is of such power carrying capacity that no hazardous damage will occur in the event of a short circuit, this length of cable is protected or routed in relation to parts of the balloon's structure that the risk of short circuit is minimised.
