On up-to-date aircrafts the electric power system is a very complex and crucial system, since great part of the equipment requires power supply. Its protection is a critical task as a fault may be catastrophic if it is not quickly detected and isolated. Thermal magnetic breakers or fuses are commonly employed to provide overload and short circuit protection. Unfortunately they are not effective in...
The protection of the electrical plant, equipment and components in aerospace applications represents a topic of advanced researches. In the last years, in particular, great efforts have been focused on the problem of the arc-fault detection. The impressive advancement of the electronic devices has been exploited. As well known, in many cases the arcs are not detected by the conventional overcurrent...
Arc faults are phenomena associated to unwanted electric discharge between two or more conductors. Since energy related to an arc may fuse the conducting material, very often an arc is responsible for a fire. This condition is very critical in aerospace environment, where a fire may produce catastrophic effects. For this reason, many efforts have been produced in order to develop a reliable method...
