Electrical safety systems are designed to protect the aircraft and its passengers from electrical hazards.

These
systems include circuit breakers, fuses, and ground fault interrupters. Circuit breakers are used to protect
electrical circuits from overloading and short circuits. Fuses are used to protect electrical circuits from
overloading and short circuits by melting when the current exceeds a certain level. Ground fault interrupters
are used to protect against electrical shock by detecting imbalances in the electrical current and shutting off
the power.

Electrical safety systems are critical to the safe operation of modern aircraft. They are designed to be highly
reliable and fault-tolerant to ensure that they can detect and respond to electrical hazards quickly and
effectively. In addition, these systems are designed to be lightweight and compact to minimize their impact
on the aircraft’s weight and performance.

Together, avionics, aircraft computing, airframe electronics, engine electrical systems, and electrical safety
systems play a critical role in modern aircraft electrical systems. They are responsible for controlling and
monitoring various systems that are essential for the safe operation of the aircraft as well as the comfort of
its passengers.
