Aircraft electric power supply system, aircraft comprising an electric power supply system, and method of switching off the supply of electric power in an aircraft electric power supply system

Abstract

An aircraft electric power supply system includes: an electric power source with at least one electric power supply terminal for providing electric power; an electric power supply line for electrically coupling the at least one electric power supply terminal to a line terminal of an electric load; an electric power controller, which is arranged in the electric power supply line for selectively controlling the supply of electric power from the electric power source via the electric power supply line to the electric load; and an electric circuit breaker, which is arranged in the electric power supply line in serial configuration with the electric power controller, allowing the electric circuit breaker to interrupt the supply of electric power from the electric power source via the electric power supply line to the electric load independently of the electric power controller. The electric circuit breaker has a different configuration than the electric power controller.
