<p>Control method and unit (10) of an electric system (7) for supplying power/electric current to sockets (9) for the passengers of an aircraft (1); the method comprises the steps of: setting a maximum power/electric current deliverable to the sockets (9); cyclically detecting the power/electric current absorbed by the sockets (9); if the power/electric current absorbed by the sockets (9) is higher than the maximum power/electric current, disconnecting one or more sockets (9) from the electric supply until the power/electric current absorbed by the sockets (9) is lower than the maximum power/electric current; if the power/electric current absorbed by the sockets (9) is remarkably lower than the maximum power/electric current, connecting again one or more sockets (9) from the electric supply until the power/electric current absorbed by the sockets (9) is close to the maximum power/electric current; and periodically varying the sockets (9) connected/disconnected to/from the electric supply so that each socket (9) is connected to the electric supply for a first period of time (T on ) and is disconnected from the electric supply for a second period of time (T off ).</p> |
