Abstract
A method of operating an electrical system of an aircraft is provided. The method includes initiating a cross-start action for cross-starting a non-operative engine using a generator of an operative engine, entering a power limiting mode of a generator control unit (GCU) of the operative engine, remaining in the power limiting mode for a duration of the cross-start action and returning to the non-power limiting mode of the GCU of the operative engine upon completion of the cross-start action.
