what hapens when they cut power to this system?

Because it controls flight surfaces, it is redundant again, according to good design and ATA regs. If they pop all three breakers (I'm not sure you can do that without the AC fighting back), the fly-by-wire wires don't fly. It wouldn't work on anything but FBW AC.
