The purpose of this thesis was to design the wiring harness for Elmer Racing’s er8 GT Time Attack racing vehicle. Work began with defining the specifications for the wiring harness and choosing the components which could fulfil these requirements. Particular focus was placed on component and material choices throughout the wiring harness while considering weight, modularity, and cost.
The environment in which a racing vehicle wiring harness must perform is harsh. These environmental requirements have to be considered in every phase of the design. In addition, the components have to be easily repairable or replaceable.
The electrical documentation was manufactured using Zuken E3 software in conjunction with Microsoft Excel for calculations and documentation also Autodesk Inventor Professional 2022 software was used for 3D modelling and wiring harness routing.
The end result of this thesis was electrical documentation for the wiring harness manufacturing and bill of materials for connectors, sensors and devices which will be ordered closer to the manufacturing of the wiring harness.
