VOLTAGE DISCHARGE CHANNELLING ASSEMBLY FOR A GAS TURBINE ENGINE

摘要

A gas turbine engine including a composite case having a conductive path therein, and a conductive case connected to the composite case. The conductive case is made of a conductive material. A fastener connects the composite case to the conductive case. The fastener is conductively connected to the conductive material of the conductive case and not directly conductively connected to the conductive path. At least one voltage discharge channeling assembly is connected to the fastener and to the conductive case. The at least one voltage discharge channeling assembly has a portion conductively connected to the conductive path. The at least one voltage discharge channeling assembly is conductively connected to the fastener. A method of assembling an engine casing in a gas turbine engine is also provided.
