Q

Engine Start Load shedding

A
  • when APU is used for both electrical and pneumatic power during engine start
  • First engine start selector moved to GND —> both utility busses trip
  • Second engine start selector moved to GND —> respective utility bus trips

Q

Generator Loss Load Shedding

A
  • Loss of an IDG causes both utility busses to trip

- engine shutdown inflight will shed respected center tank fuel boost pump
