By providing the fifth relay switch 14 and the power supply detection terminal 15, a control signal can be sent to the fifth relay switch 14 when the generator control circuit 1 obtains power to work, thereby conducting the circuit of the power supply detection terminal 15 for power supply indication.

[0030] In this embodiment, the output end of the battery circuit 3 is electrically connected to the emergency bus 12 through the battery switch circuit 5. In this embodiment, the battery switch circuit 5 includes a second switch 51 and a sixth relay switch 52, the first electromagnetic end of the sixth relay switch 52 is electrically connected to the output end of the battery circuit 3, and the second electromagnetic end of the sixth relay switch 52 is grounded through the second switch 51.

In this way, it can realize automatic switching of power supply during flight and reduce the power loss of the battery during normal use.
