MISL Aerospace

ECE is the subsidiary of Groupe Zodiac and part of Aircraft Systems Branch. ECE's dedicated commitment towards improving the quality of the environment has been rewarded with the ISO 14001 certification in May 2007 for all its facilities.

The complete production process is customer oriented. To improve customer satisfaction, reduce lead time and inventories, ECE is using a Lean Manufacturing Strategy and Kaizen tools.

Electrical Power Distribution Management

ECE design and develop power contactors for Aircrafts:

• Very high reliability
• Low weight and optimized design
• Large range of configurations
• High efficiency through fully integrated solutions.

DC and high voltage DC power contactors

• 28 V or 270 V DC
• 50 to 1000 A
• Single-pole, continuous or intermittent duty contactors
• Special contactors designed for starting turbo engines, double-

throw contactors…
• 1 to 8 auxiliary contacts, having high and low current capability.

AC Power contactors

• 115/200V or 230/400 V AC
• Constant or variable frequency
• 15 to 430 A
•  3-pole single or double-throw contactors, also centre-off models

with mechanical interlock and latch contactors
• 1 to 8 auxiliary contacts, having high and low current capability.

RCCB: Remote Control Circuit Breakers

• AC: range from 20 to 60 A
• DC: range from 50 to 200 A
1 and 3-pole remote control circuit breakers, magneto thermal

Side stable
• Temperature compensated
• Trip-free
• Double throw auxiliary contacts
• Fail safe.

Integrated Components

To increase adaptability ECE has developed integrated components driven by electronic PCB and fully versatile to aircrafts loads.

• AC or DC
• Fully adaptable
• Versatility to aircraft loads
• Plug in
• Fail safe
• Trip curve adjustable for specific load
• 1 to 2 auxiliary contacts
•  Easy maintainability
•  Visual mechanical status indicator
• Control by remote or integrated electronics

Electrical Systems Integration

ECE, as the worldwide leader in the field of Power Distribution Systems has developed a large range of Electrical Power Generation and Distribution Systems for both AC and DC electrical networks.
Thanks to its unrivalled expertise in the field of power distribution for military and civil aircraft, ECE is offering three levels of integration for Electrical Power Distribution Boxes.

Power Distribution Boxes

Main Characteristics:

• AC and DC
• Connection and protection of aircraft generators
• Protection of generator feeder lines and distribution bus bars
• Battery charging and protection against thermal runaway
• Interface data with aircraft avionics
• Design flexibility for the allowance of spare hardware, input and

output
• Mechanical and electrical segregation.
