GM1 ADR-DSN.S.880 Electrical power supply ED Decision 2016/027/R (a) At an aerodrome where the primary runway is a non-instrument runway, a secondary power supply capable of meeting the requirements of [CS ADR-DSN.S.875(d)](#_DxCrossRefBm1800047847) should be provided, except that a secondary power supply for visual aids need not be provided when an emergency lighting system is provided and capable of being deployed in 15 minutes. (b) Specifications for secondary power supply for radio navigation aids and ground elements of communications systems are given in ICAO Annex 10, Volume I, Aeronautical Telecommunications, Chapter 2. (c) Requirements for a secondary power supply should be met by either of the following: (1) independent public power which is a source of power supplying the aerodrome service from a substation other than the normal substation through a transmission line following a route different from the normal power supply route and such that the possibility of a simultaneous failure of the normal and independent public power supplies is extremely remote; or (2) standby power unit(s) which are engine generators, batteries, etc. from which electric power can be obtained. (d) Guidance on electrical systems is included in ICAO Doc 9157, Aerodrome Design Manual, Part 5, Electrical Systems. (e) The requirement for minimum lighting may be met by other than electrical means.
