Q
What is the difference between a green CB and a black CB?
A
Green CBs are monitored by the FWS. If a green CB is out for more than 1 minutes, then an ECAM will be generated.
Black CBs are not directly monitored by the FWS. In this case, the component protected by a black CB is monitored directly by the FWS.
