Abstract
The invention provides an electrical power supply system for an aircraft, the system comprising: a first electrical power supply network (1) including a first alternator (10); a second electrical power supply network (2) including a second alternator (20); and secondary lines (40) united in at least a first group (41) such that they are connected via switches to a common first intermediate line (51), and in at least a second group (42) so as to be connected via switches to a common second intermediate line (52); the system including a control member (60) for controlling the electrical power supply networks, the control member being arranged to servo-control each of the alternators in current, the system being arranged in such a manner that the power supply outputs of the two electrical power supply networks are connected together prior to being connected to each intermediate line, each intermediate line thus being powered in parallel by the two electric power supply networks.
