The system has electrical distribution channels (B) e.g. three phase alternating system, for high power loads and electrical distribution channels (G1) for conventional loads e.g. fuel pump. The distribution channels are separated and are powered by starter-generators (SG-B, SG-B1) e.g. brushless three phase synchronous generator, where the channels for high power loads comprise rectifiers (RU-B1, RU-B2) and inverters (MCU-B1, MCU-B2). The generators are driven by a jet engine (Eng1) of an aircraft.
