On another note, are you saying if the P180 has a gen failure there is no way to get gen power to the other side? Two independent electrical systems with no ability to tie them together? Weird.
With a single GEN failure, all busses are powered by the remaining Gen.
So, in simple terms, everything is still powered, (both "sides").
