I am installing a Flight Data Systems tachometer which requires 24 ga. shielded single conductor wire. I ordered it from Spruce and was surprised to find after I peeled the shielding back there was a inner insulated core of braided wire. I was expecting a single solid core hence the single conductor designation. What am I missing here? I'm sure Spruce sent me the correct wire.
Also installing a pmag on the other end of the aforementioned wire. Should I ground the shielding on one end or both ends or neither?
I am using the existing shielded p lead from my mag for the new pmag. The shielding is grounded at the switch does it have to be grounded at the mag too?
In the case of both wires if the shielding is grounded at the pmag it will require a length of at least 4" of shield to be pulled back to the nearest ground point. Is this excessive? Thanks in advance for helping me to learn new stuff.
