Question re load shedding

Featured Replies

The manual says:Electric load shedding - Realistic electric load shedding occurs.Does this mean that if something happens, then electrical load will be automatically dumped so as to not overload the remaining systems? What would symptons be?If so, what is dumped? Will we see anything on the flight deck? You know what I mean.I work in the power industry. If we shed load, as happened in the blackout, we won't get an alarm, but frequency will be low and breakers will start opening on the power system automatically as frequency approaches 59.3 cycles. That is when the 1st breakers will start to open. You have to recognize what is happening. The only problem is that it will probably be so fast that we will only see the result.JimCYWG

When it talks about load shedding I believe it is taking the electrical loads off the generators to insure that there will be the power needed for more critical operations.One example I read was that it will shut down an electric hydraulic pump & center tank fuel pumps just before engine start and when the power returns it restores the systems.And during more critical stages like engine failure, it would shut off some cabin equipment to ensure power for important systems.
