IIRC EWP is a lot more efficient than EDWP (absorbs much less power).  Dual EWPs make the system a couple of orders of magnitude more reliable than single EWP and arguably single EDWP.

A bullet proof electrical system makes EWP very attractive to me ... Jim S.

Your comment below implies that an EWP is *more* reliable than a belt. I don't think that has been shown to be the case yet.

With an alternator driven by the e-shaft and an EWP, I could have an engine that required no belts.  I REALLY like that idea.   Did I say I REALLY like that idea?  Paul Conner
