Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An abraded wire detection system ("AWDS") for detecting an abrasion on a wire in a fuel tank is disclosed. The AWDS includes an electrode on the fuel tank, a power source, and a current sensor in electrical series with the power source, wire, and the electrode. The current sensor includes circuitry that detects a current from the wire to the electrode. Additionally disclosed is an aircraft having a fuel tank, a wire within the fuel tank, and the AWDS. Il est décrit un système de détection de fils abrasés (« AWDS ») qui sert à détecter labrasion sur un fil dans un réservoir de carburant. LAWDS comprend une électrode sur le réservoir de carburant, une source dalimentation et un capteur de courant en série électrique avec la source dalimentation, le fil et lélectrode. Le capteur de courant comprend un circuit qui détecte un courant entre le fil et lélectrode. Il est également décrit un aéronef doté dun réservoir de carburant, dun fil à lintérieur du réservoir de carburant et dun AWDS.
