Systems and methods for alerting reverse current conditions of vehicle charging systems. One embodiment provides an aircraft power system comprising an aircraft power source and a notification device. The notification device includes a control unit configured to monitor a supply of current from an external power supply to the aircraft power source and detect a reverse current condition of current flowing from the aircraft power source to the external power supply. In response to detecting the reverse current condition, the control unit is configured to provide a notification indicative of the reverse current condition.
An aircraft power system comprising:
A notification device including a first connection via a control line between an aircraft power source and a power supply located external to the aircraft power source and a second connection via power line between the aircraft power source and the external power supply, the notification device comprising:
A method for detecting a reverse current condition of an aircraft vehicle power system, the vehicle power system including a power supply, a vehicle power source of an aircraft, and a notification device, the notification device including a first connection via a control line between the aircraft power source and an external power supply and a second connection via a power line between the vehicle power source and the power supply, the method comprising:
