Insulation Monitoring for IT Grounded (Isolation Terra) Aerospace Electrical Systems

With an increase in the predicted demand for high voltage electrical power in large passenger aircraft and other more electric aircraft concepts, new electrical distribution systems will be required to enable safe, light, highly efficient electrical propulsion systems. Insulation monitoring technology is a crucial safety system on high integrity power distribution in land and marine systems, however they have not been tested, proven, optimised and made commercially available for aerospace. A functionally representative insulation monitoring demonstration for aerospace is required, incorporating applicable lessons and experience of established markets, but addressing some of the specialised aerospace environment and its safety processes.
