Q

When external AC is plugged in but not switched on, what is powered and what indication do you get?

A

When external power is plugged in but not online the AC GROUND SERVICES BUS will be powered. The white AVAIL light will be on the EXT PWR push button.

The DC GROUND SERVICE BUS and the DC GROUND HANDLING BUS will also be powered through the GROUND SERVICES TRU. There are no indications for these buses.

Q

What is a GCU and what does it do?

A

A GCU is a generator control unit. Its functions are:
- regulate the generator output
- control connection of the generator to the line
- Automatically disconnect the generator in case of a fault

Q

If an IDG overheats, what happens, and what indications do you get?

A

If an IDG overheats a level 1 alert is issued (IDG TEMP). If the temperature continues to rise, the IDG is automatically disconnected.

Q

Is the APU generator equipped with a constant speed drive?

A

The APU generator is not equipped with a CSD because the APU itself operates at a constant speed.

Q

If external power is online and the parameters go out of limits?

A

If external power is online and goes out of limits, the ground power control unit (GPCU) automatically disconnects external power.

Q

From which generators do AC busses 1 and 2 normally receive power?

A

AC BUS 1 is normally powered by IDG 1. AC BUS 2 is normally powered by IDG 2.

They can also be powered by either the APU or EXT PWR).

Q

When is automatic AC cross tie inhibited?

A

The auto-cross tie is inhibited automatically in case of a short circuit on an AC bus.

It can also be manually inhibited by pushing the AC X-TIE push button.

17
Q

What busses remain powered after the ESS+EMER PWR ONLY push button is pressed?

A

When the ESS+EMER PWR ONLY push button is pressed the following buses remain powered:
a. ESS AC + EMER AC
b. ESS DC + EMER DC

18
Q

What are the power source priorities for the ESS AC bus?

A

The power source priority for the CAC ESS BUS is
1. IDG 1
2 IDG 2
3. APU
4. EXT PWR

19
Q

From where can the EMER AC bus obtain power?

A

The EMER AC BUS is normally powered by the ESS AC BUS. If the ESS AC BUS is unpowered , the EMER AC BUS will be powered by the EMER DC BUS via the EMER INV.

The EMER AC BUS will be powered by the batteries for a minimum 30 minutes.

20
Q

When is the galley power shed automatically?

A

In flight, galley power is automatically shed during single generator operation.

The galley busses can also be manually depowered by pushing the galley power push buttons

21
Q

You are airborne and GEN 1 goes offline. The APU generator is not available. What happens?

A

The AC busses are automatically tied and GEN 2 powers AC BUS 1 and 2 and the ESS AC BUS. The galley busses are shed and remain offline.

22
Q

You are airborne and GEN 1 goes offline. The APU generator is available. What happens?

A

If the APU is available, the APU will power AC BUS 1. GEN 2 will power AC BUS 2 and the ESS AC BUS.

23
Q

How can the DC busses be tied together?

A

The DC busses can be tied together by pushing the DC X-TIE push button.

24
Q

What happens if a TRU fault occurs? What might the fault be?

A

If a TRU fault occurs a level 2 alert is issued and a local fault light illuminates.

The fault is probably caused by a TRU overheat or a reverse current flow.

25
Q

If a fault occurs on a DC bus, what must you not do?

A

In case of a DC BUS fault do not push the DC X-TIE push button.

26
Q

What does the DUAL DC bus supply and for what purpose?

A

The DUAL DC bus supplies:
- automatic lift dumper function
- anti-skid
- speed brake control

It is designed to provide uninterrupted DC power supply in case of a DC BUS 1 or 2 fault during landing.

27
Q

What can be powered by the batteries alone?

A

Batteries alone can power the EMER DC BUS and the EMER AC BUS via the EMER INV, providing the battery switch is on.

The batteries can also power the DC GROUND HANDLING BUS even when the battery switch is off.

28
Q

If the ESS TRU becomes inoperative, where does the ESS DC BUS get its power from?

A

If the ESS TRU becomes inoperative, the ESS DC BUS is automatically powered by DC BUS 1.

29
Q

Where does the EMER DC bus get its power from?

A

The EMER DC BUS is normally powered by the ESS TRU.

If the ESS TRU is inoperative it is powered by DC BUS 1 (same as the ESS DC BUS).

If there is no AC power available the EMER DC BUS is powered directly from the batteries.

30
Q

What does the DC Ground Handling bus supply?

A

The DC GROUND HANDLING BUS supplies:
1. Pax door
2. Fueling panel
3. Towing switch
4. Hydraulic service panel
5. Engine Start Valve

31
Q

What can be powered from external DC and what indications do you get?

A

DC EXT can power the DC GROUND SERVICE bus if AC power is not available.

This bus is used for maintenance functions. There are no indications for this bus.
