How many transformer-rectifiers are on the EA-18G?

Explanation:
Two transformer-rectifiers are used. They convert 115 VAC 400 Hz from the aircraft power system to 28 V DC to feed the aircraft’s DC buses and to charge the battery. Having two provides redundancy so DC power remains available if one unit is offline or during maintenance, which is important for the EA-18G’s high-demand electronic warfare equipment. A single unit would lack redundancy, while three or four would add unnecessary mass and complexity for this aircraft.
