Abstract
A nacelle for a turbojet engine includes an air inlet forward section, a median section surrounding a fan of the turbojet engine, an aft section equipped with a thrust reverser system, a power control unit able to convert a high voltage electric supply into an electric supply towards an electromechanical actuator, and a drive unit for the power control unit which is distinct and separate from the latter and has a control input and a drive output to be connected to the power control unit. The thrust reverser system includes a mobile cowl which, under action of an electromechanical actuator, is able to move from a closed position to an open position in which the mobile cowl opens a passage in the nacelle.
