Abstract
A method for monitoring a meshed current-return network on an aircraft, the meshed network including at least two sub-networks electrically connected by a plurality of electrical junctions, the method including: measuring a current intensity in at least one electrical junction in which a nominal current is circulating for given flight conditions of the aircraft; wirelessly transmitting the measured current intensity value; receiving the measured current intensity; comparing the measured current intensity with a reference intensity of the nominal current determined for the electrical junction for the given flight conditions; and diagnosing soundness of the electrical junction following the comparing.
