Wires in outside environment are subject of weather conditions, particularly extreme heat and cold variations. Material which wires are made of contracts and expands depending on temperature and therefore a safe margin is needed, so after contraction wires wouldn't snap.

What do the dashed lines represent in electrical floor plans?

In electrical floor plans, dashed lines typically represent items that are not physically present in the current view but are relevant for understanding the layout. This can include elements such as hidden electrical wiring, circuits, or future installations. They help convey information about the overall electrical system without cluttering the main plan. Additionally, dashed lines can indicate relationships or connections between components that are not directly visible.

What are electrical suzis on a Arctic truck?

Electrical Suzis are the electrical lines passing alongside the hydraulic lines (or air lines) passing from the rear of the artic tractor unit; and connecting the the trailer. Hydraulic lines used to be colour coded, but this is no longer tha case. Hydraulic lines operate the trailer braking system (in conjunction with the footbrake and parking break); these lines include an emergency hydraulic line, should the first fail. The electrical connection lines operate the lights on the rear of the trailer, any running lines, and operates an anti-lock braking systems on the trailers axles. Electrical lines can also be used to power electrical auxiliary equipment; such as a tail-lift, or a HGV Box refrigeration unit. Hope this helps.
