Introduction
Aircraft electrical systems comprise those electrical components which generate, distribute, control and protect the supply of AC and/or DC electrical power for other systems, and provide signal and electrical interfaces between aircraft systems. Electrical systems that do not satisfy appropriate design requirements may pose hazards to safe aircraft operations by: providing inadequate or unsuitable power for essential aircraft system loads, increasing the likelihood of fire or explosion, increasing the potential for critical aircraft system failures and so on.
