Electrical Flashcards
How many AC generators?
one for each engine
How many phases are the AC gens? and what Volt/Cycles?
3 phase
115/200V
320-480 cycles per second
What voltage do the AC gens operate at?
115 +- 2
below 108 +-2 = Rectifier failure PFL
What is the gen cut in range?
43-48%
What is the gen shift range?
65-75%
Can the gens be stopped?
No, only disconnected from the buses
What can you do if a gen fails?
Reset it
What do the bus contactors do?
Connect generators to the buses per the protection panels signal
What does the protection panel do?
protects the buses from a bad gen and the gen from a bad bus, also controls crossover
What do TRUs do?
Convert AC to DC power
What V and Amp are TRUs?
28 VDC
50 AMP
What warrants a PFL concerning TRU?
Failure or output below 25.5 Volts
What light comes on for dual TRU fail?
XMFR RECT OUT
Do the TRUs power all 3 DC buses?
Yes, via a diode module
What volts and Amps is the battery?
24 Volt
10 Amp
