Abstract :
IN most electric systems in military aircraft, a grounded installation is used, that is, the conducting parts of the plane structure form the electrical return path to the generator. The cables may be bundled and secured to the plane structure for support with the cable insulation preventing metal-to-metal contact. In an installation of this kind, contact between an energized cable and the plane structure with current flowing through this junction constitutes an electrical fault.
