Aircraft Electrical Wiring Monitoring System

Abstract

International audienceThe cumulated lengths of electrical cables continuously increases in aircrafts and trucks: now up to 10kilometers in a modern truck, 40 km in a helicopter or in a fighter aircraft and 500 km in a modern civiltransport aircraft such as A380. Electrical wiring is a critical part in the nominal operation of a system. Theimportance of the wired network has thus grown to the same level as the systems it is connected to [1].Regarding the increasing complexity of the electric system (increase in the number of electric loads, in thesupply voltages), the regulation authorities (FAA, Federal Aviation Administration and EASA, European AviationSafety Agency ) now require to consider aircrafts’ electrical wiring as a system on its own, named EWIS(Electrical Wiring Interconnection System)
