AGING OF CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The above referenced OIT provided a description of the background of Aging Transport
Systems Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ATSRAC) and FAA Enhanced Airworthiness
Program for Airplane Systems (EAPAS).
As a complement to the referenced OIT concerning the results of the ATSRAC Tasks, this
SIL is intended to provide additional information on the FAA Aging Electrical Systems
Research Program and particularly on the Aging Circuit Breaker study.

2. BACKGROUND
The EAPAS is an overall program that outlines the recommendations of the ATSRAC but
is also intended to focus on all aircraft systems, including mechanical systems. The
current focus of this program revolves around aging wiring systems and provides
strategies for how the FAA and industry will work to improve the airworthiness of wire
systems through near-term and long-term actions, with the intent to disseminate the
outcomes throughout the industry.
The EAPAS also includes an extensive Aging Electrical System Research Program. This
program is intended to conduct research into aging wiring systems to determine
mechanisms that drive the aging process, develop tools to better inspect and maintain
wiring, and develop technologies that mitigate the hazards associated with wiring failure.
3. DESCRIPTION
As part of the Aging Electrical System Research Program, the FAA sponsored a test
program to evaluate the performance of circuit breakers removed from some retired
large transport aircraft (B727 and DC-10 aircraft) and issued in November 2002 a report
ref. DOT/FAA/AR-01/118 to disseminate the results of this study.
The purpose of this test was to provide data needed to determine to what extent circuit
breakers removed from retired aircraft have degraded from their original performance
specification parameters. The test program encompassed visual and X-Ray
examination, voltage drop test, current overload test, insulation resistance test and
failure analysis.
Results indicated that circuit breakers installed on aircraft with extended service life would
continue to protect the electrical wire provided that adequate attention is placed on the
need to control circuit breaker aging characteristics throughout their life. The report makes
several recommendations aiming at improving the reliability of circuit breakers, and
reducing maintenance related problems, including:
- Cycle circuit breakers periodically with no power,
- Need for instructions to protect the back of circuit breaker panels during routine
maintenance,
- Need for instructions on cleaning the back of circuit breaker panels,
- Need to inspect circuit breaker panels for loose, broken or misapplied wire termination
hardware,
- Need to inspect circuit breakers for overheating and arcing,
- Need for instructions to use the correct wire termination hardware,
The FAA is now considering the results of this test program and more particularly the
benefits of thermal circuit breaker cycling.
