When both generator s/w are turned off and EMER' GEN' S/W is set to ISOLATE in flight, the aircraft operates as follows:

from -1 Description

Emergency Generator Control Switch

ISOLATE
Restricts the emergency generator to powering the emergency fuel boost pump, the arresting hook and provides power from the emergency/essential 28 volt dc bus to the emergency air refueling switch to open the slipway door. It also provides power to the ground power switch number 1 28 volt de bus for operation of the engine monitor display. All power and intercom are removed from the rear cockpit. In the event of a complete electrical failure, an  attempt to restore the emergency generator may be made by cycling the switch to ISOLATE and back to MAN.
