Zusammenfassung:Control method and unit of an electric system for supplying power/electric current to sockets for the passengers of an aircraft; the method comprises the steps of: setting a maximum power/electric current deliverable to the sockets; cyclically detecting the power/electric current absorbed by the sockets; if the power/electric current absorbed by the sockets is higher than the maximum power/electric current, disconnecting one or more sockets from the electric supply until the power/electric current absorbed by the sockets is lower than the maximum power/electric current; if the power/electric current absorbed by the sockets is remarkably lower than the maximum power/electric current, connecting again one or more sockets from the electric supply until the power/electric current absorbed by the sockets is close to the maximum power/electric current; and periodically varying the sockets connected/disconnected to/from the electric supply so that each socket is connected to the electric supply for a first period of time and is disconnected from the electric supply for a second period of time.
