Abstract
An electrical network of an aircraft comprises: several main generators, several high voltage direct current networks powered by one of the generators in normal operation, several low voltage direct current networks powered by one of the high voltage direct current networks, several converters to transfer energy from one of the high voltage direct current networks to one of the low voltage direct current networks, the different converters being independent and isolated from each other, each converter being dedicated to one of the high voltage networks and to the low voltage direct current network, a load designed to be powered in normal operation by the main generators and in backup operation by one of the low voltage direct current networks, the backup operation being put into place when at least one of the high voltage networks is no longer powered by the associated main generator in normal operation.
