Hello  World Hercules Fuel & Avionic  Expertise!

All 14 fuel tanks  electrical pumps are operated by 3 phase power supply , controlled through 3 phase (4 poles) SWs mounted on OH Fuel control & management panel, where others Aircraft, AC pumps are controlled  remotely by single wire (single pole)  SWs through  3 phase relays. what is reason behind it?

The pumps are connected to multiple power sources (and wire routing) so one set of wires accomplishes a simple control input to the pump regardless of power source.

Had to think about this for a while. I remember sitting in the Engineer's seat for many hours pondering the design of electrical systems. The simplicity of the three phase overhead fuel panel switch allows for control even if DC busses are lost. Something you would loose if you used DC power to control a power relay.

Sir David I do not agree with you  all three phase ESS AC services (PUMPS) are controlled remotely, Except No.2 Fuel Tank pump.
