Q

ASSUMING NORMAL OPERATION IN FLIGHT, WHEN ARE THE DC EMER BUS AND DC ESS BUS
CONNECTED TO THE DC BUS 1 AND/OR DC BUS 2:

A

ALWAYS THROUGH BAT CHG AND ITS RESPECTIVE HOT EMER OR HOT MAIN BAT BUS

19
Q

INVERTER 1 NORMALLY SUPPLIES:

A

AC BUS 1 AND AC STBY BUS

20
Q

DC SVCE AND UTILITY BUS SHED AMBER LIGHT COMES ON WHEN:

A

AT LEAST ONE UTILITY BUS IS DISCONNECTED FROM ASSOCIATED MAIN DC BUS

21
Q

THE “EMER BAT CHG” FAULT LIGHT COMES ON WHEN:

A

BATTERY OVERHEAT, DETECTED BY MFC (AUTOMATIC DISCONNECTION)

A FAILURE OF THE CHARGE CONTACTOR

22
Q

FOLLOWING AN INVERTER FAILURE, “INV” LIGHT ILLUMINATED:

A

ASSOCIATED AC BUS IS SUPPLIED THROUGH THE AC BTR BY THE OTHER INVERTER

23
Q

IN CASE OF MAIN BAT OVHT WITH MAIN BAT CHG FAULT LIGHT ON, WHAT HAPPENS TO THE
BUSSES POWERED BY THAT BATTERY?

A

THE HOT MAIN BAT BUS IS LOST AND DC ESS BAT BUS IS POWERED BY DC BUS 1

24
Q

IN FLIGHT WITH ONE ENGINE OPERATING, WHICH INDICATION WOULD BE DISPLAYED ON
THE SHUTDOWN ENGINE’S DC GEN PB:

A

WHITE OFF IF PB IS RELEASED

AMBER FAULT IF PB IS DEPRESSED (IN)

25
Q

ENGINE RESTART WITH THE DC GEN PB IN (DEPRESSED) WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN TO THE PB
LIGHT WHEN THE GENERATOR COMES UP TO NORMAL OPERATING SPEED:

A

GEN FAULT AMBER LIGHT SHOULD GO OUT

26
Q

IN FLIGHT ONE ARROW ILLUMINATED ON THE EMERGENCY SUPPLY SHOWS:

A

THE SUPPLY OF DC ESS OR DC EMER BUS FROM THE CORRESPONDING HOT BATTERY
BUS AND BATTERY DISCHARGING

27
Q

THE “DC BTC” IS AUTOMATICALLY CLOSED AND THE FLOW BAR IS ILLUMINATED IN CASE OF:

A

EXT PWR OPERATION, HOTEL MODE OPERATION, OR SINGLE ENGINE OPERATION

28
Q

IN THE EVENT OF BOTH DC BUS 1 AND DC BUS 2 SUPPLY LOST:

A

INV 1 IS AUTOMATICALLY SUPPLIED BY THE HOT MAIN BAT BUS OR BY THE HOT EMER
BAT BUS IN OVRD CONFIGURATION (OR BY TRU IF EQUIPPED AND SELECTED ON)

29
Q

NOT COUNTING UTILITY AND SERVICE BUSSES, WHICH DC/AC BUSSES CANNOT BE SUPPLIED
