ATA24 - Electrical Flashcards
1. AC ESS BUS is normally supplied by : AC BUS 1 AC BUS 2 EMER-GEN STATIC INVERTER
AC BUS 1
The EXTERNAL POWER has priority over the APU GEN :
Yes
No
Yes
- The STATIC INVERTER transforms the DC power from Battery 1 into one KVA :
Single-phase 115 V - 400 HZ AC power
Three phase 115/200 V - 400 HZ AC power
Single-phase 115 V - 400 HZ AC power
In flight, on batteries only, the AC ESS SHED and the DC ESS SHED buses are lost :
Yes
No
Yes
5. In normal configuration, how is DC ESS BUS supplied ? From TR 1 From ESS TR From TR 2 From BAT 2
From TR 1
- The STATIC INVERTER works :
All the time
When A/C is in flight or on ground (speed < 50kt) and on batteries only
When one MAIN GENERATOR fails
When A/C is in flight or on ground (speed < 50kt) and on batteries only
7. Normal minimum battery voltage before APU start is : 22 V 25 V 27.5 V No minimum
25 V
- In flight with BAT only, the AC ESS BUS is supplied by :
STATIC INVERTER
EMER GEN
Both
STATIC INVERTER
- What happens when the GEN 1 LINE push button is set to OFF ?
AC BUS 1 and 2 are not powered and emergency generator is automatically
connected
AC BUS 1 is powered by the GEN 2 because the GEN 1 is desactived
AC BUS 1 is powered by the GEN 2 because the GEN 1 line contactor opens
AC BUS 1 is powered by the GEN 2 because the GEN 1 line contactor opens
- What does an “AVAIL” EXT PWR push button illumination in GREEN mean :
The EXT PWR is plugged in and external power parameters are normal
The A/C network is supplied
The EXT PWR is plugged in and external power parameters are normal
. A Generator Control Unit (GCU) controls :
Voltage of the generator
Frequency of the generator
both answers are correct
both answers are correct
12. In flight, in case of loss of all main generators, EMERGENCY GENERATOR not running, the STATIC INVERTER supplies : APU and ENG START + AC ESS BUS ENG START + AC ESS BUS + AC ESS SHED BUS ENG START
APU and ENG START + AC ESS BUS
- What happens during the EMER GEN TEST if AC NORMAL BUSES are supplied ?
The RAM AIR TURBINE (RAT) is extended
The EMER GEN is driven hydraulically if the BLUE ELECTRIC PUMP is running
and the AC ESS BUS and the DC ESS BUS are connected to the emergency
generator
The GREEN system is pressurized and the emergency generator comes on line
The EMER GEN is driven hydraulically if the BLUE ELECTRIC PUMP is running
and the AC ESS BUS and the DC ESS BUS are connected to the emergency
generator
. When disconnecting the IDG the button should be pressed :
For no more than 3 sec
For longer than 3 sec
Until fault light goes out
For no more than 3 sec
What happens in case of total loss of main generators ?
The RAT is automatically extended and powers the YELLOW hydraulic system
which drives the EMER GEN
The RAT is automatically extended and powers the BLUE hydraulic system which
drives the EMER GEN
The RAT has to be manually extended and mechanically connected to the
emergency generator
The RAT is automatically extended and powers the BLUE hydraulic system which
drives the EMER GEN
In flight, in case of loss of all main generators, emergency generator running, the DC ESS BUS is supplied by the : HOT BUS ESS TR Both answers are correct
ESS TR
- When is the DC BAT BUS supplied by the batteries ?
APU starting
Loss of AC BUS 1 + 2 (speed<100 kts)
Both answers are correct
Both answers are correct
- In emergency configuration, AC ESS SHED BUS is automatically :
SHED during RAT deployement
Supplied by STATIC INVERTER when L/G is down
SHED during RAT deployement
- Can you reconnect the IDG in flight ?
Yes
No
No
- When operating, GEN 1 and GEN 2 have priority over APU GEN :
Yes
No
Yes
- On the EMER ELEC PWR panel, a FAULT light illuminates in red under the “RAT AND
EMER GEN label”. What does it mean ?
RAT is not extended
Emergency generator is supplying but AC ESS BUS is not powered
Emergency generator is not supplying power when AC BUS 1 and 2 are not
powered
Emergency generator is not supplying power when AC BUS 1 and 2 are not
powered
- Generators are sometimes connected in parallel :
Yes
No
No
- When APU is available, if one generator fails, the failed generator is replaced by :
The APU
The other generator
The APU
24. In cold aircraft configuration (No AC and no DC supply), where can the batteries voltage can be checked ? On the ECAM ELEC PAGE On The ELEC OVERHEAD PANEL There is no indication
