I think it was the first airliner with "Split Bus" 3 phase system which most types have followed since. Previous types had parallel systems where all generators fed the same main busbar.
Ahhh, well no, it certainly was not.The B707, the first American jet airliner to enter commercial service had a split buss electrical system.
Several each, DC & AC.
Quite reliable, too.
