CRJ Systems Flashcards
Name the different sources of AC electrical power
- 2 Engine driven generators
- APU generator
- ADG
- External AC power
What is required for the green AVAIL lamp to illuminate in the AC external power switch light on the electrical panel?
Proper voltage, frequency, and phase
After turning on the battery master switch and prior to establishing AC power, is it normal to see the AC ESS XFER switch light to be illuminated? What does it mean?
Yes; AC Bus 1 is not powered so the AC ESS bus is trying to transfer to an operating BUS.
Describe the component of the IDG.
The IDG has two sub components.
- Constant speed drive
- Electrical Generator
Under what conditions will the IDG Fault caution message be displayed?
HOTLOP: High Oil Temperature; Low Oil Pressure
Is the IDG still producing power when the IDG fault message is displayed?
Yes; it will continue to generate power until it is disconnected.
Will the IDG DISC switch light be illuminated with the engine shutdown at the gate if the IDG is disconnected?
Yes
As directed by QRH, IDG 1 is disconnected. Can this be reversed in flight?
No, it can only be reset on the ground.
Describe AC power priority for AC Bus 2.
- Gen 2
- APU Gen
- Gen 1
- External Power
What does the AUTO XFER caution message mean?
-AC power priority did not automatically transfer due to a short in an electrical bus.
This prevents one short from destroying the entire electrical system.
Is there a difference between the meaning of AUTO XFER caution message and the AUTO XFER OFF status message?
Yes.
Caution message means the transfer is inhibited automatically.
Status means it was inhibited manually by the crew.
What would cause the AC Utility buses to load shed while on the ground?
- Operating on one generator.
- Flaps not 0
- MCD and Service door are closed.
What would cause the AC utility bus to shed in flight?
-Single Generator Operations
Under what conditions would the ADG automatically deploy?
- Loss of all AC power.
- Last source was internal.
- Weight off wheels
- Parking brake OFF
What buses and/ or components eill be powered when the ADG is supplying power?
The ADG powers the AC ESS BUS and the ACMP(Alternating current motor pump) 3B hydraulic pump.
What airspeed limitations exist for the ADG wet or dry?
-200
Wet: 250KIAS
Dry: Vmo/Mmo
-700/900:
Vmo/Mmo
After restoring normal AC power, how is the AC ESS BUS transferred to the normal AC distribution system?
Pressing the PWR TXFR OVERRIDE switch on the ADG panel
Name the sources of DC power
- 5 TRUs
- 2 NiCad batteries
What are the minimum voltage requirements on the APU and MAIN batteries prior to starting the APU?
-22 Volts
Ground operations with only DC power are limited to how long?
-5 minutes
What is the amp rating for the TRU’s in the 200?
100 Amps
