An inductive filtering device includes a plurality of grouped electrical conductors and at least two toric magnetic cores, each formed around a central void, the two magnetic cores having different magnetic lengths, the electrical conductor being wound together around both magnetic cores by passing through the central voids of both magnetic cores.

Inductive filtering device and electrical architecture implementing the inductive filtering device

An architecture for an aircraft comprises two air-conditioning systems, two converters, each intended to supply one of the air-conditioning systems, and at least one first electric machine which starts up a first main engine of the aircraft. The electrical architecture is configured such that the two converters can together supply the first electric machine. A method of operating the architecture is also provided.

Electrical architecture for an aircraft, aircraft comprising the architecture and method for operating the architecture

An electrical transformer includes a first winding, called primary, at least one second winding, called secondary, switches, and a current detection system, wherein it comprises at least one metal screen having a connection point linked to a neutral potential of the primary winding or intended to be linked to an electrical ground and placed between the primary winding and the at least one secondary winding, the screen being made of an electrically conductive material having a melting point higher than that of the materials constituting the windings; in that the primary winding comprises an input intended to be linked to an external energy source, the switches are placed at the input of the primary winding so as to be able to isolate the primary winding from the external energy source and in that the current detection system is configured to detect a current at the input of the primary winding or a current at the connection point and to close or open the switches based on the detection of the current, the detection system being differential or thermal.

An electrical architecture for controlling inverters and to an aircraft includes the architecture. The electrical architecture comprises: a plurality of converters capable of operating independently of one another, each converter being intended to power a charge, associated with each converter/charge pair: a charging loop, comprising at least one sensor measuring a parameter that is characteristic of the operation of the charge, an operation control module, receiving an operation setpoint of the charge and information originating from the operation sensor, the operation control module controlling a current setpoint of the considered converter so that the information originating from the operation sensor follows the operation setpoint. The operation control module is common to the converters.

Electrical architecture for controlling converters and aircraft comprising the architecture

An electrical network of an aircraft comprises: several main generators, several high voltage direct current networks powered by one of the generators in normal operation, several low voltage direct current networks powered by one of the high voltage direct current networks, several converters to transfer energy from one of the high voltage direct current networks to one of the low voltage direct current networks, the different converters being independent and isolated from each other, each converter being dedicated to one of the high voltage networks and to the low voltage direct current network, a load designed to be powered in normal operation by the main generators and in backup operation by one of the low voltage direct current networks, the backup operation being put into place when at least one of the high voltage networks is no longer powered by the associated main generator in normal operation.
