The ever-increasing list of elecic equipment needed for the satisfactory performance of the modern airplane has ought the electric system from a place of lative unimportance to one which cannot ignored. The electric equipment must fail, particularly on combat planes. herefore, the protective devices must be signed and applied to permit the equipent to function as long as it can supply useful work but to remove it from the circuit when it has ceased to function or become a hazard. This type of electrical otection is obtainable with fuses of special sign when applied properly.
