Which device manages load shedding?

Which device manages load shedding?

• A. Main and Emergency Battery
• B. Probes and sensors (Permanent)
• C. Level 3 Anti icing
• D. Bus Power Control Unit (BPCU)

Answer: (D)

Load shedding is the process of turning off nonessential electrical loads to preserve power for critical systems when power is limited or a fault occurs. The device that actively manages this distribution is the Bus Power Control Unit. The BPCU monitors bus conditions and system status, and it can selectively disconnect noncritical loads to keep essential equipment powered. The main and emergency batteries provide energy sources but don’t actively manage shedding. Probes and sensors measure conditions but don’t control power distribution, and Level 3 anti-icing is a separate system unrelated to load management. So the Bus Power Control Unit is the component that handles load shedding.
