Abstract
A system for electrical generation, conversion, distribution and starting on board an aircraft, of “bleedless” type, that is, with an electrical power architecture with no pneumatic circuits. The electrical distribution channels for high power loads specific to aircraft of “bleedless” type, and the electrical distribution channels for conventional loads, including technical loads, such as avionics, lighting, fuel pumps and commercial loads are separated, and are supplied with power by separate generators driven by the aircraft's engines.
Claims29
A system for electrical generation, conversion, distribution and starting on board an aircraft, of “bleedless” type with an electrical power architecture with no pneumatic circuits, comprising:
- first electrical distribution channels that supply high power loads specific to aircraft of the “bleedless” type including at least one of a motor compressor and an air conditioning system;
- and
- second electrical distribution channels that supply other loads including at least one of a technical load, avionics, lighting, a fuel pump, and a commercial load, wherein
- the first and second electrical distribution channels are separated, operate in parallel, and supplied with power by separate generators of an engine of the aircraft in a configuration under normal conditions.
