The invention relates to an assistance device (17) for an electrical power generation system (11) of an aircraft, said system (11) comprising a generator (13), a regulator (14) and a contactor (15) comprising contacts and an actuator for opening/closing the contacts which is controlled by said regulator (14) and arranged between the generator (13) and a distribution architecture (12), the assistance device being characterized in that it is connected to at least one power source (18) which is separate from the generator (13) and the regulator (14), and in that it comprises means for closing the contactor which are suitable for connecting the power source (18) to the actuator (23) of the contactor (15) in order to provide the current necessary for closing said contactor (15).
Assistance device for an electrical power generation system of an aircraft, said system comprising a generator, a regulator and a contactor comprising contacts and an actuator for opening/closing the contacts which is controlled by said regulator and arranged between the generator and a distribution architecture, wherein the assistance device is connected to at least one power source which is separate from the generator and the regulator, wherein it comprises means for closing the contactor, said means for closing the contactor being suitable for connecting the power source to the actuator of the contactor in order to provide the current necessary for closing said contactor, and wherein the means for closing the contactor comprise a first electric relay comprising contacts and an actuator for opening/closing the contacts, said contacts being suitable for connecting the regulator to the actuator of the contactor, and the actuator of said relay being connected to the power source.
Assistance method for an electrical power generation system for an aircraft, comprising a generator, a regulator and a contactor comprising contacts and an actuator for opening/closing the contacts which is controlled by said regulator and arranged between the generator and a distribution architecture, wherein it comprises a step of connecting the actuator of the contactor to at least one power source which is separate from the generator and the regulator in order to provide the current necessary for closing said contactor, and wherein it comprises the following steps, successively:
