What might happen if the electrical system operates outside its normal conditions?

When the electrical system operates outside its normal conditions, the most likely outcome is that there may be system failures or malfunctions. The electrical system in the F/A-18 E/F is critical for multiple onboard functions, including avionics, navigation, and weapon systems. If the system is not functioning as designed, it can lead to unexpected behavior, failures in critical systems, or loss of control over various aircraft functionalities. These disruptions can impact mission readiness and safety.

In normal operations, each system relies on a stable and correctly configured electrical system to function effectively. Any deviation from this can result in erratic performance or complete system failures, making it essential for maintenance personnel and pilots to monitor the electrical system closely and diagnose any issues promptly.
