Split Bus

In a split bus system on most a/craft, the AC Buses are Tied by a relay when 1 engine driven generator goes U/S (ie engine shutdown). DC buses are still supplied by their normal main AC bus thru their T/Rs (transformer rectifiers)
Automatic load shedding is also employed to ensure enough power for essential services, ie galley power reduced or switched off.
