Q

BATTERY MASTER Switch ON does?

A

Connects MAIN + AUX Batteries to the ESS BUSES, Enables the MAIN + AUX Battery Switches

18
Q

MAIN BATT OFF switch does?

A

Disconnects MAIN Battery from MAIN BUS 1

19
Q

MAIN BATT ON Switch does?

A

If Battery Master Switch is ON the connects MAIN Battery to MAIN BUS 1

20
Q

AUX BATT Switch OFF does?

A

Disconnects the AUX battery from MAIN BUS 2

21
Q

AUX BATT Switch ON does?

A

If Battery Master ON then connects AUX Battery to MAIN BUS 2

22
Q

Red Gang Bar moved BACKWARD does?

A

Cuts off all aircraft electrical power sources at same time, (GEN 1, GEN 2, BATTERY MASTER)

23
Q

At what voltage do the electrical indicators display in ‘amber reverse video’?

A

BELOW 22V

24
Q

At what voltage to the electrical indicators show a value of zero?

A

BELOW 15V

25
Q

When starting the second engine on batteries, IS the online generator allowed to operate in the Red Range overload condition?

A

YES

26
Q

In the case of a MAU 1 or 2 failure what information must we NOT use?

A

SYNOPTIC PAGES INFORMATION

27
Q

Before engine start - BATT MAIN on, MAIN + AUX BATT on, GEN 1+2 on…is MAIN BUS 2 powered?

A

NO

28
Q

Before attempting to start the engine on batteries what ‘involved’ MAIN BUS voltage must be available?

A

NOT LESS than 23V

29
Q

To start engine No2 what must we do with the BUS TIE switch?

A

Set to ON (to connect MAIN BUS 1 with MAIN BUS 2 to allow power to flow to the MAIN BUS 2 for GEN 2 to work)

30
Q

The BUS TIE connector closes with what three conditions?

A
  1. BUS TIE Switch = ON
  2. One GEN = ON-LINE and the other GEN = OFF-LINE
  3. EXTERNAL POWER connected to the helicopter BUS BARS
31
Q

At what Ng is the start signal removed from the generator by the GCU?

A

Ng = 49% (detected by the EEC)

32
Q

When the generator moves from starter mode to generator mode, what Nf does the EEC accelerate the engine to?

A

Nf = 65% (IDLE) or Nf = 100% (FLIGHT)

33
Q

During engine start, what is providing the power for the DU’s so that the pilots can monitor the engine parameters?

A

The AUX BATTERY via the ESS BUSES

34
Q

SINGLE GENERATOR FAILURE (1 DC GEN)…what happens?

A
  1. BUS TIE contactor automatically closes 2. NON ESS BUS 1 and NON ESS BUS 2 are disconnected 3. MOMENTARY OVERCURRENT SITUATION
35
Q

(DC BUS FAIL)…what happens?

A
  1. Drives the DC BUS FAIL message in the CAS
  2. Inhibits the BUS TIE contactor automatic operation (remains open)
36
Q

SHORT CIRCUIT (DC BUS FAIL + 1 DC GEN) What happens?

A
  1. Disconnects relevant generator (thus displaying 1(2) DC GEN message)
  2. Disconnects relevant battery (causing MAIN BATT OFF or AUX BATT OFF to be displayed)
  3. BUS TIE contactor remains OPEN
    PILOT MUST DO NOTHING
37
Q

DUAL GENERATOR FAILURE (1 2 DC GEN) what happens?

A

Only MAIN and AUX batteries supplying the loads. Hence MAIN BATT switch to OFF - in order to supply ONLY the ESSENTIAL loads (ie emergency loads)

38
Q

ELECTRICAL BLACKOUT What happens?

A

If batteries totally discharged - engines continue to run in AUTO Mode (controlled by EEC - which is powered by the relevant PMA - Permanent Magnetic Alternator)

39
Q

What does BATT OFFLINE caution message mean?

A

One of the two batteries is not connected to the ESS BUS

40
Q

What does MAIN BATT OFF caution message mean?

A

The MAIN battery is not connected to the MAIN BUS 1

41
Q

What does AUX BATT OFF caution message mean?

A

The AUX Battery is not connected to MAIN BUS 2
