6

37
Q

How many AC generators are on the CRJ, and what rating are they?

A

4 (Engines, APU, ADG)
30 kVA (ADG is 15kVA)

38
Q

Is there a maximum kVA altitude restriction for the engine generators?

A

Engine generators are rated 30 kVA up to FL350 and 25 kVA up to FL410.

39
Q

What does pushing the AC ESS transfer push button do?

A

Transfers the AC ESS to BUS 2

40
Q

What is the purpose of the AUTO XFER switches?

A

Selected manually, it inhibits the normal generator priority system, not allowing the offside or APU generators to power the affected BUS.

41
Q

Can the AUTO XFER switch activate automatically?

A

Yes, as a result of an AC BUS short, the APU and offside generators are not allowed to power the affected bus.

42
Q

Where are the TRUs located?

A

In the unpressurized nose compartment

43
Q

When would DC tie 1 or 2 close automatically?

A

They will close if the associated TRU has failed, or if the AC bus feeding the TRU has failed.

44
Q

In flight, does the SERV TRU provide any other function?

A

Yes, the SERV TRU can provide redundant power to the DC Essential Bus through the manual ESS TIE if ESS TRU 2 fails

45
Q

What is the kVA rating and airspeed restriction on the ADG?

What does the ADG power?

A
  • 15 kVA
  • 250kts for indefinite use
  • The ADG provides power to the AC Essential Bus and power to the DC Essential Bus through ESS TRU 1 during a dual engine failure or loss of primary electrical power.
  • It also powers Hydraulic Pump 3B, which is critical for maintaining flight control functionality.
46
Q

What does the WARN position of the fire test switch do?

A

Simulates a fire and overheat condition on the engines and APU.

47
Q

What does the FAIL position of the fire test switch do?
