As flight systems are increasingly running on electrical power, regulating the distribution of electricity across multiple subsystems is becoming more complex. Due to this, the components and architectures that manage power must also adjust in their capabilities, including features like dynamic load management, fault isolation, and real-time monitoring. This blog will explore some of the most notable aircraft power distribution technologies available on the market today, helping you decide what is worth incorporating in retrofit programs or targeted system upgrades.

Circuit breakers are essential devices in electrical systems that are designed to protect from electrical overloads and short circuits. Their primary function is to interrupt the flow of electricity when abnormal conditions arise, preventing damage to equipment and reducing risk of electrical fires. Understanding the components that make them work can provide insight into their importance in safeguarding electrical systems, so read on as we offer a basic overview.
