- Bat via static inverter
- Bat
- Bat
STANDBY POWER Switch - OFF
Removes power from:
- AC STBY bus
- Static inverter
- DC STBY bus
STANDBY POWER Switch - BAT
- AC STBY bus powered by Bat via Static inverter
* DC STBY bus and BAT bus powered by Battery.
GRD POWER AVAILABLE light - ON
Ground power is connect and meets airplane power quality standards (good freqs and volts)
GRD PWR switch - OFF
Disconnects ground power from AC transfer busses
GRD PWR switch - ON (with GROUND PWR AVAILABLE light ON)
Removes previous power from AC transfer busses and then connects ground power.
TRANSFER BUS OFF Light - ON
Related transfer bus is not powered
SOURCE OFF light - ON
- No source has been manually selected to power transfer bus
Or - The manually selected source has been disconnected
GEN OFF BUS light - ON
IDG is not supplying power to related transfer bus
GEN switch - OFF
Disconnects IDG from related AC transfer bus (by opening generator CB)
GEN switch - ON
Connects IDG to related AC transfer bus (by disconnecting previous source and closing gen CB)
BUS TRANSFER Switch - AUTO
- BTBs operate automatically to maintain power to AC transfer busses
- DC cross tie relay automatically provides normal or isolated operation as required
BUS TRANSFER Switch - OFF
- Isolates AC transfer bus 1 from AC transfer bus 2 (if one IDG is supplying power to both AC transfer busses)
- DC cross tie relay opens (to isolate DC bus 1 from DC bus 2)
APU GEN OFF BUS light - ON
APU is running and not powering a bus
What is the automatic gen online feature?
If the airplane takes off with the APU powering both AC transfer busses and the APU is the shut down or fails, the engine gens are automatically connect to their related busses. (Max once per flight)
When will the cross bus tie relay open automatically?
- At glide slope capture
2. Bus transfer switch - OFF
How long will two fully charged batteries provide STBY power?
60 mins
What buses are powered with only Batteries online?
- Bat
- DC STBY
- Hot Bat
- switched Hot Bat
- AC STBY (via static inverter)
On STBY power only, what flight instruments are powered?
- CA’s inboard and outboard displays
- Clocks
- Left EFIS control panel
- STBY instruments (RMI, airspeed, altimeter, attitude, and mag compass)
What does the GROUND SERVICE Switch (Flight Attendant Panel) provide?
Manual control of ground service busses enabling servicing airplane using external power without activating AC transfer busses
What are the two basic principles of operation for the 737 electrical system?
- There is no paralleling of the AC sources of power
2. The source of power being connected to a transfer bus automatically disconnects an existing source
