Foreword.
This Electrical Supplement is an addition to the B737Theory Systems Manual and is restricted in use,
it is not allowed to copy and distribute the manual without notification to the B737Theory custodian.
This Supplement is designed as an ELECTRICAL POWER SOURCE,– and CIRCUIT BREAKER LOCATION
directory and it must be understood that there are differences amongst various NG model aircraft.
About
The B737Theory Facebook page, Manual and Supplement are solely created to interact throughout
the B737NG community and has no direct link to any Company.
THE CONTENT SHALL NOT BE USED FOR ACTUAL OPERATION OF THE AIRCRAFT
B737Theory
The goal of the Facebook page, Manual and Supplement is to expand Boeing 737NG theoretical
knowledge by increasing the amount of visitors aiming for interaction. Recommend the page through
your private Facebook page rather than sharing the posts (too bad I can’t remove the share option in
FB) as I’ve put in a lot of time, research and knowledge in the posts and manuals.
I have re-designed this part of the Manual as an Electrical Sources Supplement using alphabetical
order on subjects. I expanded the Electrical Panels, Busses and Circuit Breaker location layouts, which
again may differ on various NG models (600 – 900) but is valuable as a gauge on this subject.
About the author:
I am a retired Instructor Flight Engineer and currently a B737NG Ground School Instructor. I enjoy
expanding knowledge on aircraft systems and publishing this, making it available to users around the
World. I combine courseware development skills with theoretical aviation knowledge to explain
several systems written in my own way, sometimes a little further than needed but creating a more
“complete picture” to the basic standard required systems knowledge.
Corrections and/or recommendations are welcome and can be send to [email protected], or
send a “message” on https://www.facebook.com/B737Theory/ and I’ll look into it, when confirmed
I’ll update the document.
Thank you and enjoy . . .

AC ELECTRICAL BUSSES
The AC electrical transfer system operates with two basic principles accomplished by operation of
the Bus Power Control Unit (BPCU):
1. There is no paralleling of the AC sources of power possible.
2. The source of power being connected to a transfer bus automatically disconnects an existing
source. (or else there is AC paralleling)
The electrical busses are arranged with the most important AC busses first, where after the lesser
(but still) important busses. After the AC selection you’ll find the DC busses starting with the Battery
busses followed by the Main busses, etc.
Under each bus you’ll find how the respective bus receive Normal power, and when applicable an
Alternate power source.
The powered components are in Alphabetical order except the red bold faced circuit breakers. They
refer to (sub) busses and can thereby be isolated, pulling that respective circuit breaker.

Circuit Breaker (panel) Locations
A generic 3 column list of B737NG circuit breaker locations on their respective circuit breaker panels.
The columns are shown in an Alphabetical order of the powered components, than the panels and
the Alpha/Numerical positions.
Also here, the lay-out can be different amongst several NG type
