DISTRIBUTION - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. General
The DC electrical distribution onboard is carried out through several steps, as follows:
power distribution:
. from the two main transformers rectifiers towards the main DC busbars located in the main electrical
power centre,
. from the essential transformer rectifier towards the essential DC busbars located in the emergency
electrical power centre,
. from the APU transformer rectifier towards the APU busbar located in the APU power center
(5000VU),
. then from the main and essential busbars towards the associated distribution sub-busbars.
distribution from these sub-busbars toward the different users.
In this chapter, the power distribution up to the sub-busbars only is dealt with.
The whole DC distribution onboard is shown on:
