An electrical power distribution system for an aircraft comprises a power source electrically connected to an electrical load and at least one circuit interruption device for interrupting current in the power distribution system. A distinguishing device is connected to the system for distinguishing a transient electrical event in the system from a steady-state level of electrical activity in the system, wherein the transient electrical event induces a potential difference across all or part of the distinguishing device. The circuit interruption device is operable to interrupt current flowing through the power distribution system if the potential difference across the distinguishing device exceeds a threshold voltage.
