Abstract
This paper analyzes the protection of a typical 28-volt d-c distribution system for a large multiengine aircraft. Methods of making a load study and fault study are illustrated. From the analysis of this system, conclusions are drawn regarding bus and feeder fault protection and arrangement. It is shown that by relatively minor modifications in bus arrangement a considerable increase in the degree of reliability can be obtained.
