Distributed Architecture
Distributed ArchitectureRemote Solid State Electronic Circuit Breaker control of the entire system enables the use of a simpler, distributed architecture that ultimately results in less wire weight. It also enables automation of system functions and adds the ability to replace existing power control and distribution products with simpler, lighter weight electronic circuit breakers. Reduced Aircraft WeightThe distributed power system requires far less wiring than conventional systems and discrete switching eliminates many relays and switches. |

Arc Fault Circuit Protection
Arc Fault Circuit ProtectionArc fault detection technology offers system protection against intermittent arcs, limits wire damage and provides diagnostic information. This protection is an inherent benefit of Astronics’ Electronic Circuit Breaker technology and is an added level of safety. Arc fault protection is typically not available for other, conventional Electronic Power Distribution Systems. Improved SafetyProtects against arcs and open shorts before they cause damage. |
