Abstract
A fault protected aircraft heated floor panel is provided. The floor panel includes upper and lower floor panel skins and an electro-resistive heater element interposed between the upper and lower floor panel skins. The floor panel further includes a controller for controlling current delivered to the heater element, the controller including a ground fault interrupt circuit that detects excess reactive current provided to the heater element. The controller interrupts the current delivered to the heater element as a result of the ground fault interrupt circuit detecting the excess current.
