if there is an electrical failure or problem if i am not mistaken the RAT would deploy. RAT would power some crusial sustems in order for the pilot to have some sort of reference. I am not an airbus expert but just thinking out loud.
Correct, however I am thinking that if there was some sort of catastrophic electrical failure (ie. BAD lightning strike) then the RAT wouldn't have had anything to power (ie. computers suffered current spike and died along with any other electrical system).

All electrical equipment, (computers, ect) are subject to indirect lightening tests, so the chance of all equipment failure is minimum.
The tests are done in a lab by trained independant staff, and an independant witness to oversee the tests and verify the results (have done this myself)
