Abstract
A method for the automated testing of electrical cabin loads in a cabin of an aircraft comprises activating at least one electrical cabin load in a predetermined operating mode via a test controller; recording an electric power consumption profile of the at least one electrical cabin load in the activated operating mode via a power controller of an electric power distribution system of the cabin of the aircraft, wherein the power controller regulates electric power consumption of the at least one electrical cabin load within the power distribution system; transmitting the recorded power consumption profile to the test controller; and comparing the recorded power consumption profile with a reference profile for the activated operating mode of the at least one cabin load via the test controller, in order to test the at least one electrical cabin load for operability.
