When, Why Electric Energy was
used in an aircraft?
![Page 4: Chapter 1 Aircraft Electrical Systemeng.sut.ac.th/me/box/1_54/437306/Introduction.pdfChapter 1 Aircraft Electrical system ... •Electrical systems have been an onboard fixture since](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051105/5ab200d47f8b9ac3348d1571/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Electrical energy is being widely used
• Clean form of energy – absence of smoke,
ashes, dust, etc.
• Easily convertible to light, heat,
mechanical, chemical energy etc.
• Easily and economically transportable by
means of running cables.
![Page 5: Chapter 1 Aircraft Electrical Systemeng.sut.ac.th/me/box/1_54/437306/Introduction.pdfChapter 1 Aircraft Electrical system ... •Electrical systems have been an onboard fixture since](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051105/5ab200d47f8b9ac3348d1571/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

• Electrical systems have been an
onboard fixture since the Wright
Flyer. In those days the role of
electricity was limited to the magneto
which provides sufficient voltage to
spark the fuel/air mixture.
![Page 7: Chapter 1 Aircraft Electrical Systemeng.sut.ac.th/me/box/1_54/437306/Introduction.pdfChapter 1 Aircraft Electrical system ... •Electrical systems have been an onboard fixture since](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051105/5ab200d47f8b9ac3348d1571/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Magnetos still supplied the spark to the
engines, but 14- or 28-volt direct-current
generator supplied current to operate the
navigation and landing lights, the radios.
Generators kept the batteries charged to
operate the electric motor used to start the
engines.

• The years between the two world wars is
the golden age of aviation, improved in
importance and complexity.
• As the twentieth century ended, electrical
systems have become just about equal in
importance with the engines.
![Page 10: Chapter 1 Aircraft Electrical Systemeng.sut.ac.th/me/box/1_54/437306/Introduction.pdfChapter 1 Aircraft Electrical system ... •Electrical systems have been an onboard fixture since](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051105/5ab200d47f8b9ac3348d1571/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• For many years, light planes exclusively
used the 14-volt electrical system. Starting
approximately in the early 1980s, the 28-
volt system began to take over light
aircraft.
• The primary purpose of igniting the
fuel/air mixture is still the domain of the
magneto. However, the demand for
electrical energy in the airplane has
increased tremendously.

• Jet airliners have extremely complex
electrical systems and use alternating
current as the primary source of electricity.
• Batteries are used for emergency and
backup operations and for some special
applications.

![Page 19: Chapter 1 Aircraft Electrical Systemeng.sut.ac.th/me/box/1_54/437306/Introduction.pdfChapter 1 Aircraft Electrical system ... •Electrical systems have been an onboard fixture since](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051105/5ab200d47f8b9ac3348d1571/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Primary Power Source
A primary source is equipment that
generates electrical power from energy
other than electrical, and is independent
of any other electrical source.
![Page 20: Chapter 1 Aircraft Electrical Systemeng.sut.ac.th/me/box/1_54/437306/Introduction.pdfChapter 1 Aircraft Electrical system ... •Electrical systems have been an onboard fixture since](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051105/5ab200d47f8b9ac3348d1571/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Secondary Source
• A secondary sourceis equipment that
transforms and/or
converts primary
source power to
supply electrical
power to either AC
or DC powered
equipment .
![Page 21: Chapter 1 Aircraft Electrical Systemeng.sut.ac.th/me/box/1_54/437306/Introduction.pdfChapter 1 Aircraft Electrical system ... •Electrical systems have been an onboard fixture since](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051105/5ab200d47f8b9ac3348d1571/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Secondary source.
• A secondary source is equipment that
transforms and/or converts primary
source power to supply electrical power
to either AC or DC powered equipment.
• A secondary source is entirely dependent
upon the primary source and is
considered part of the load of the primary
source.

Emergency Power Source
![Page 23: Chapter 1 Aircraft Electrical Systemeng.sut.ac.th/me/box/1_54/437306/Introduction.pdfChapter 1 Aircraft Electrical system ... •Electrical systems have been an onboard fixture since](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051105/5ab200d47f8b9ac3348d1571/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Emergency power
In the event of a primary power source
failure, emergency power is usually
provided from independent auxiliary
power unit (APU)-driven generator(s),
ram air or hydraulically-driven
generator(s), or batteries.
![Page 24: Chapter 1 Aircraft Electrical Systemeng.sut.ac.th/me/box/1_54/437306/Introduction.pdfChapter 1 Aircraft Electrical system ... •Electrical systems have been an onboard fixture since](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051105/5ab200d47f8b9ac3348d1571/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Ground power
![Page 25: Chapter 1 Aircraft Electrical Systemeng.sut.ac.th/me/box/1_54/437306/Introduction.pdfChapter 1 Aircraft Electrical system ... •Electrical systems have been an onboard fixture since](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051105/5ab200d47f8b9ac3348d1571/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
ground power source
A ground power source can be connected
to the bus bar distribution system thus
allowing all electrical systems to be
powered independently of aircraft battery
or generating systems. The source can be
either a motorised generating unit or a
battery unit.
![Page 26: Chapter 1 Aircraft Electrical Systemeng.sut.ac.th/me/box/1_54/437306/Introduction.pdfChapter 1 Aircraft Electrical system ... •Electrical systems have been an onboard fixture since](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051105/5ab200d47f8b9ac3348d1571/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Nominal rating
This rating is usually a continuous duty
rating for specified operating conditions.
![Page 27: Chapter 1 Aircraft Electrical Systemeng.sut.ac.th/me/box/1_54/437306/Introduction.pdfChapter 1 Aircraft Electrical system ... •Electrical systems have been an onboard fixture since](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051105/5ab200d47f8b9ac3348d1571/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Condition of Power Sources
• Normal electrical power operation
• Abnormal electrical power operation
• Emergency electrical power operation
![Page 28: Chapter 1 Aircraft Electrical Systemeng.sut.ac.th/me/box/1_54/437306/Introduction.pdfChapter 1 Aircraft Electrical system ... •Electrical systems have been an onboard fixture since](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051105/5ab200d47f8b9ac3348d1571/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Normal electrical power operation
Normal operating conditions assumes that
all of the available electrical power system
is functioning correctly within Master
Minimum Equipment List (MMEL)
limitations (e.g. AC and/or DC Generators,
Transformer Rectifier Units, Inverters,
Main Batteries, APU etc.).
![Page 29: Chapter 1 Aircraft Electrical Systemeng.sut.ac.th/me/box/1_54/437306/Introduction.pdfChapter 1 Aircraft Electrical system ... •Electrical systems have been an onboard fixture since](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051105/5ab200d47f8b9ac3348d1571/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Abnormal electrical power operation
Abnormal operation occurs when a
malfunction or failure in the electric
system has taken place and the protective
devices of the system are operating to
remove the malfunction or the failure from
the remainder of the system before the
limits of abnormal operation are exceeded.
![Page 30: Chapter 1 Aircraft Electrical Systemeng.sut.ac.th/me/box/1_54/437306/Introduction.pdfChapter 1 Aircraft Electrical system ... •Electrical systems have been an onboard fixture since](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051105/5ab200d47f8b9ac3348d1571/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Emergency electrical power operation
Emergency operation is a condition that
occurs following a loss of all normal
electrical generating power sources or
other malfunction that results in operation
on standby power (batteries and or other
emergency generating source such as an
APU or Ram Air Turbine (RAT) only.
