Overview

SIST EN 3773-006:2017 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies the product requirements for single-pole, temperature-compensated circuit breakers with rated currents from 1 A to 25 A. Designed specifically for aerospace applications, these circuit breakers operate reliably in aircraft on-board electrical circuits within a wide temperature range from ‒55 °C to 125 °C and at altitudes up to 15,000 meters. Featuring a push-pull actuator with delayed action "trip-free" tripping, the devices ensure safety by continuing operation even up to short-circuit currents. This standard ensures consistency, reliability, and safety in aerospace electrical protection components.

Key Topics

  • Temperature Compensated Circuit Breakers: The standard ensures circuit breakers maintain performance despite extreme temperature fluctuations encountered in aerospace environments.

  • Rated Current Range: Covers circuit breakers rated for currents between 1 ampere and 25 amperes, suitable for various aircraft electrical loads.

  • Push-Pull Actuator Design: Incorporates a single push button for operation, allowing delayed action and trip-free release mechanisms to prevent electrical faults from damaging the system.

  • Altitude Performance: Devices are validated to function effectively at altitudes up to 15,000 meters, ensuring reliability in high-flying aircraft.

  • Blade Terminal Specification: Defines a 6.3 mm blade terminal connection, facilitating standardized and secure electrical mounting.

  • Mechanical and Environmental Resistance: Specifies resistance to vibrations, shocks, humidity, corrosion, contaminating liquids, and overvoltage events such as lightning, ensuring robust operation in harsh aerospace conditions.

  • Electrical Characteristics: Sets nominal voltages for operational circuits (28 V dc, 26 V ac at 400 Hz, and 115 V ac at 400 Hz) and details voltage drops, tripping thresholds, overload endurance, and dielectric rigidity.

  • Marking and Identification: Defines mandatory markings including manufacturer’s part number, rated current code, manufacturing date, and terminal identification for traceability and correct installation.

Applications

  • Aircraft Electrical Protection: SIST EN 3773-006:2017 circuit breakers are essential for protecting aircraft electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits, ensuring occupant safety and system integrity.

  • Avionics Systems: Used in controlling and protecting sensitive onboard avionics equipment, improving operation reliability under temperature and altitude variations.

  • Power Distribution: Serve as key components in distributing electrical power within aircraft, preventing damage to reconfigurable systems and wiring harnesses.

  • Maintenance and Replacement: The standard facilitates procurement and replacement of aerospace circuit breakers by specifying uniform dimensions, ratings, and performance criteria.

  • High-Reliability Environments: Suitable for defense and civil aerospace sectors where equipment must meet strict compliance with international safety and performance standards.

Related Standards

  • EN 3773-001: Technical specifications for single-pole, temperature-compensated circuit breakers referenced for detailed electrical and mechanical characteristics.

  • EN 3841 Series: Test methods for circuit breakers including terminal strength and environmental endurance tests.

  • EN 6113: Defines connecting and attachment hardware requirements for aerospace circuit breakers ensuring standardized installation interfaces.

  • EN 2282: Aerospace series characteristics of aircraft electrical supplies, providing context for voltage and frequency requirements.

  • IEC 60934: International standard covering circuit breakers for equipment, complementing aerospace-specific requirements.

Conclusion

SIST EN 3773-006:2017 is a vital standard for aerospace engineers, designers, and maintenance technicians overseeing the selection, application, and quality assurance of single-pole, temperature-compensated circuit breakers with 6.3 mm blade terminals. Compliance with this standard supports enhanced operational safety, consistent performance under extreme conditions, and interoperability within the complex electrical ecosystems of modern aircraft. Utilizing this standard helps aerospace organizations meet regulatory requirements while optimizing durability and reliability of on-board electrical protection devices.
