Quote from #112:
Now in no way am I suggesting that on this 777 the generators magically re-connected themselves in flight. However sudden low pressure from all LH & RH pumps could (in theory) occur if the phase relationship of the power supply to all of the pumps suddenly changed.
Also, if the 777 is anything like the Fokker 100, it might only be the fuel pumps that would have a problem with this. How that might happen in practice I don't know - I would think it so unlikely as to be almost impossible. Also, even if it did happen, I would be surprised if such a loss of pressure starved the engines - but perhaps in combination with other things it is (theoretically) possible.
Suppose that the APU startup was actually the cause of the problem - Is it possible this was started by accident or automatically started and this messed up the electrical phasing?
