Our Arc Shield technology is a revolutionary development reducing the risk of aircraft electrical fires. But you don’t have to take our word for it. This Arc Fault Circuit Interruption technology was the winner of the Avionics and Electronics category at the 2004 Annual Aerospace Awards in Singapore.

Our technology was seen as:

  • A genuine technological advancement
  • Demonstrating practicality of implementation
  • Having clear safety benefits

Arc Shield Arc Fault Circuit Interruption (AFCI) can dramatically reduce the risk of electrical fires on aircraft caused by arcing events as well as contribute to overall electrical safety by:

  • Responding quickly to true arcing events
  • Detecting both high-level and low-level arc events without causing nuisance trip conditions
  • Responding independently of voltage or frequency—making it suitable for single-phase and three-phase 115 VAC or 28 VDC electrical power, in addition to variable frequency and high-voltage DC systems
