The RAM and the loss of all powers???

Hi,

In case of automatic deployemt of the RAT, what are the components (electrics & hydraulics, besides the main flight controls) that are provided by the RAT (we suppose the RAT provides hydraulic and electric power)

I am asking this question, because I am wondering about the landing : may be flaps up, no reversers, no spoilers, and may be no brakes (I am not sure if these components are provided or no by hydraulic, because the power of the RAT seems limited mainly at landing).
Also the battery supplies electricty to certain important flight instruments through the inverter, does the RAT provide electricity to other flight instruments or other devices? If yes, what are these intruments or devices?

I am wondering mostly about any Boeing and Airbus aircrafts fitted with RAT (preferably the recents, but other aircrafts are welcome).

Thank you.
Best regards.
