Abstract
A device for supplying electrical power to an aircraft on the ground, including two electric generators driven by an auxiliary power unit. The first generator is connected by a connection/disconnection mechanism to an aircraft network and to an electric taxiing network, to supply either an AC voltage to the aircraft network when it is connected to the aircraft network, or an AC voltage or a power to the taxiing network when it is connected to the taxiing network. The second generator is connected by the connection/disconnection mechanism to the aircraft or taxiing networks to supply the AC voltage to one of those networks.
