Patent 9788447 was granted and assigned to Rolls-Royce on October, 2017 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A rigid electrical raft is provided to a gas turbine engine via a fusible mount arrangement. The rigid electrical raft may be a part of an electrical system of the gas turbine engine, for example a part of the electrical harness. The fusible mount is arranged to break when a predetermined load is applied. The rigid electrical raft may be attached to a fan case of the engine, and the predetermined load may be that which results from a fan blade being released from the hub. This ensures that the rigid electrical raft is protected from the load.
