[0061] The following is an example to illustrate this:
[0062] 1. Construct a full-fledged electrical circuit simulation prototype for the aircraft. Figure 2 The electrical circuit of the right wing of the aircraft is shown by the dashed line in the figure;
[0063] 2. Compile and summarize the normal electrical characteristics of the aircraft's airborne electrical equipment, including operating voltage and operating current. The operating voltages of wing surface equipment D, B, and C are 28V, 270V, and 28V, respectively, and the corresponding operating currents are 95A, 200A, and 5A, respectively. Equipment C is located on the trailing edge of the wing surface.
[0064] 3. Compile and summarize the preliminary design schemes for the negative line plates of the entire aircraft, and locate the installation area and position of the negative line plates in the 3D model of the aircraft. Figure 2 The right wing surface of the aircraft is equipped with negative line plate 1 and negative line plate 2;
[0065] 4. Based on the data from step 2, identify the high-current electrical equipment and critical flight equipment of the aircraft, and locate their installation areas and positions in the three-dimensional model of the aircraft. Equipment D and equipment B are high-current electrical equipment, and equipment C on the trailing edge of the wing surface is critical flight safety equipment.
[0066] 5. Based on the data from steps 3 and 4, locate the installation areas and positions of the negative line boards corresponding to high-current electrical equipment and critical flight equipment in the three-dimensional model of the aircraft, where equipment D corresponds to negative line board 1, and equipment B and equipment C correspond to negative line board 2.
[0067] 6. Statistically summarize the fault power characteristics of the high current electrical equipment in step 4, including fault voltage and fault current. The fault voltages of equipment D and B are 28V and 270V, respectively, and the fault currents are 300A and 400A, respectively.
[0068] 7. For example Figure 3 The aircraft is divided into multiple sections. The section containing high-current electrical equipment is defined as the area to be evaluated for the reference potential of the aircraft electrical circuit. In this case, the wing deck contains high-current electrical equipment D and equipment B. The wing deck is the area to be evaluated for the reference potential of the aircraft electrical circuit.
[0069] 8. Based on the results of steps 2 and 5, inject the normal operating current of the airborne electrical equipment into all negative line boards. The current injected into negative line board 1 is 95A, and the current injected into negative line board 2 is 200A + 5A = 205A. The total normal operating current of the wing deck is T = 95A + 205A = 300A. The maximum fault current I of a single electrical device in the wing deck is... max The fault current of device B is 400A, I max =400A, the normal operating current of equipment B is M=200A, and the maximum fault current I is injected into the negative line plate 2 of the wing surface compartment. max =400A, I max -M=200A is greater than T / 2=150A, the injected current of negative line plate 1 is 95A, and the injected current of negative line plate 2 is 400A+5A=405A.
[0070] 9. Inject a reverse current at the aircraft's zero-potential reference point, equal to the total current injected into the entire aircraft. Figure 2 The zero potential reference point for 28V electrical equipment is zero potential reference point 1, and the injected current is the total reverse current corresponding to equipment D and equipment C, which is -95A-5A=-100A. The zero potential reference point for 270V electrical equipment is zero potential reference point 2, and the injected current is the reverse current corresponding to equipment B, which is -400A.
[0071] 10. Perform full-aircraft reference potential distribution simulation and calculation on the aircraft electrical circuit and negative line board, and obtain the reference potential data of each negative line board in the whole aircraft. The reference potential of negative line board 1 relative to zero potential reference point 1 is 1.6V, the reference potential of negative line board 2 relative to zero potential reference point 2 is 3.8V, and the reference potential of negative line board 2 relative to zero potential reference point 1 is 2.5V.
[0072] 11. Compare the reference potential data of each negative line plate of the wing surface recorded in step 10, and the potential limit value V of the 270V electrical equipment. d1 The voltage limit V is set for 10V and 28V electrical equipment. d2 The voltage is set to 2V. The corresponding operating voltages for wing surface devices D, B, and C are 28V, 270V, and 28V, respectively. According to the data from step 10, the reference potential of wing surface device D is 1.6V, which is less than the potential limit V of the 28V electrical equipment. d2 =2V, the reference potential of wing-shaped device B is 3.8V, which is less than the potential limit V of the electrical equipment (270V). d1 =10V, the reference potential of the wing-shaped device C is 2.5V, which is greater than the potential limit V of the electrical equipment. d2=2V, then there is no risk in the power supply of devices D and B, but there is a risk in the power supply of device C. For device C, it is recommended that the negative line plate connected to device C be adjusted to negative line plate 3 on the wing surface closer to the fuselage, with a radius limit R set to 2 meters. The distance between negative line plate 3 and device C should be 1.5 meters, which is less than the radius limit R = 2 meters. The placement of negative line plate 3 meets the requirements. After re-simulation evaluation, the reference potential of negative line plate 3 relative to the zero potential reference point 1 is 1.8V, which is less than the potential limit V for 28V electrical equipment. d2 =2V, the arrangement of negative line board 3 meets the requirements;
[0073] 13. Confirm the layout of the aircraft negative line board as the final design scheme. Figure 2 The device D in the wing deck shown is connected to the negative line plate 1, with a corresponding reference potential of 1.6V; the device B is connected to the negative line plate 2, with a corresponding reference potential of 3.8V; and the device C is connected to the negative line plate 3, with a corresponding reference potential of 1.8V.
