Abstract

An electrical raftcomprising electrical conductorsembedded in a rigid material are provided to a gas turbine engine. The raftis used to transport electrical signals (which may be, for example power and/or control signals) around a gas turbine engine. The electrical rafthas an electrical connectorembedded therein which is used to connect the electrical raft to an electrical unit, such as an EEC of a gas turbine engine The electrical connectoris resiliently biased so as to ensure a reliable electrical connection.
