An aircraft power and propulsion system includes a gas turbine engine having first and second spools, the first spool being a starting spool; first and second DC electrical networks having first and second operating voltages; a first electrical machine joined with the first spool, the first electrical machine having first and a second winding sets; a second electrical machine joined with the second spool; a first, second and third AC:DC converter; and a controllable switching arrangement configured so that a connection to an AC-side of the third AC:DC converter is switchable between a winding of the second electrical machine or the second DC electrical network via an inductor.
