Resonance-Based Procedure for Locating Failed Luminaires in AGL Systems

Aeronautical ground lighting (AGL) systems provide a visual reference for aircraft during airport operations. Fast detection and location of failed luminaires is an important safety concern in AGL systems. In the event of luminaire failure, AGL transformers introduce harmonic currents. Resonances can increase harmonics, worsening the problem. This paper presents analytical expressions for determining resonance frequencies in AGL systems, as well as a simple procedure based on these expressions for locating failed luminaires from measurements
