Electric-circuit fault-protective principles as applied to D-C aircraft systems

AIRCRAFT d-c electric systems are being extended constantly in responsibility and physical size. The assignment of more important tasks to the electric system emphasizes the need for the highest order of reliability of power supply, particularly in military craft exposed to unusual hazards. The increase in electric plant capacity increases the concentration of electric power which may be un-leashed with damaging effect in the event of electric-circuit fault.
