20080211237 | ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY FOR AN AIRCRAFT - A main generator delivers an AC voltage to an electricity network on board an aircraft via a main line having at least one line contactor mounted therein, the voltage being regulated by a regulator. An engine electricity network delivers electricity to various loads situated in the zone of an engine fitted to the aircraft and to an engine control computer, the engine electricity network having a first fed input connected to the main electricity power supply line via a secondary electricity power supply line, upstream from the line contactor in order to receive directly electricity derived from the main generator without transiting via the electricity network on board the aircraft. The voltage regulator regulating the voltage delivered by the main generator may be situated in the engine zone and is powered by the engine electricity network. | 09-04-2008 |
