This specification covers the requirements for current limiter type fuses for use in aircraft primary electrical power systems conforming to MIL-STD-704. These limiters are suitable for use in AS53731 fuse holders for operation at −54 to 125 °C.
The primary function of this specification is to cover the general requirements of one-, two-, and three-phase (often referred to as poles) trip-free circuit breakers for use in aircraft electric systems conforming to MIL-STD-704. As a secondary function, this specification may possibly cover the general requirements of one-, two- and three-phase circuit breakers for use in primary vehicles, other than aircraft, when mounted directly to the structure.
This Aerospace Recommended Practice provides technical and application information needed by the designers of aircraft electric systems and support equipment for the selection of overcurrent protective devices. It provides definitions to permit comparisons of various electric circuit protective devices. Included also are recommended procedures for periodic inspection.
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides technical and application information needed by the designers of aircraft electric systems and support equipment for the selection of overcurrent protective devices. It provides definitions to permit comparisons of various electric circuit protective devices. Included also are recommended procedures for periodic visual and mechanical inspection criteria.
