Abstract
A system for redistributing electrical load in an electric aircraft. The system includes a ring bus and a controller communicatively connected to the ring bus. The ring bus includes a plurality of bus sections including a first bus section and a second bus section. The controller is configured to receive a fault datum indicative of a fault associated with one of a first energy source and a second energy source, actuate, as a function of the fault datum, at least a switch to electrically connect the first bus section and the second bus section so as to form an electrical merger of the first bus section and the second bus section, and redistribute the electrical load to compensate for the fault associated with one of the first energy source and the second energy source. A method of redistributing electrical load in an electric aircraft is also provided.
