Abstract

The subject matter disclosed herein relates to methods and devices for protecting a circuit against overcurrents. The device uses variable impedance properties of a semiconductor switch and includes closed-loop control for controlling the impedance of the switch as a function of the overcurrents to be corrected. The physical design stresses of an electrical circuit, linked to the protection against overcurrents, can therefore be limited.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of methods implemented in an aircraft to protect electrical circuits of the aircraft against overcurrents. The invention also relates to a device for protecting an electrical circuit against overcurrent, said electrical circuit comprising a load powered by an electrical power source of an aircraft. Background technique [0002] An overcurrent is a current greater than the nominal current associated with the load. For reference, the nominal current of a load is the current that flows in the load under ideal operating conditions. Excessive currents can be generated by the load's power supply, especially in the event of a short circuit. [0003] Throughout this document, the term "load" will refer to an electrical load. [0004] Various devices implemented in aircraft for protecting electrical circuits against overcurrent are known from the prior art. These devices include electromechanical switches that can assume a...
