| Project Number (JTEG Assigned) | AF-10-0003 |
| Project Title | Arc Fault Circuit Breakers |
| Service | Air Force |
| Command | AFMC |
| Implementation Depot | WRALC |
| Project Lead | Bob Zwitch, DSN 468-2457, 402 SMXG/CL |
| TI Goals Supported | P-1, C-2, S-3 |
| Focus Area | Electrics, Electrical |
| Platform General | Aircraft |
| Platform Specific | F-15, F-16 |
| Implemented Technology | |
| Problem Definition | F-15 has experienced serious fires from aging wiring system components; Conventional thermal circuit breakers do not detect arc faults in electrical wiring presently only continuous electrical overloads are detected. |
| Proposed Solution | TBD |
| Expected Result | Designed to mitigate the affects of electrical arcing in aircraft wiring systems |
| Benefits | Safety: minimizes risk of wiring induced fires, limits damage to faulted wire, limits electronic damage, limits structural damage, reduces troubleshooting & repair time, and Supports Standardization. |
| Unfunded Requirement | Yes |
| Start FY | FY10 |
| Completion Date | FY10 |
| WIP | No |
| Implemented | No |
| Comments | In the Sustainment Technology Process Roadmap |
