Q

What batteries are on board?

A

2 - 28 VDC

Main Bat - FWD E/E bay
APU Bat - AFT E/E bay

17
Q

What powers the Flight controls

A

3 Permanent Magnet Generators

L1, L2, R2

(ensures power to the flight controls is independent to the rest of the system as long as one eng is rotating)

18
Q

What powers the brakes

A

4 power supplies in the FWD E/E

2 separate 28 VDC inputs from the primary power source and from the MAIN Battery

19
Q

What is the BPCU

A

Bus Power Control Unit

Electronic controller that determines the power distribution for different configurations

Flight deck control and indication

Determines different Modes

20
Q

How does the BPCU protect systems

A

Load Sheading

Load Inhibiting

21
Q

What type of circuit breakers

A

ECB’s - Electronic (indication and control)

TCB’s - Thermal (just Indication)

22
Q

What are the Two type of power distribution methods?

A

Primary and Remote

23
Q

What does turning the Battery on do when first arrive at aircraft

A

ON-Ground Battery Only Mode

allows the power up sequence

APU start capability

CCR L (CDU screen on)

24
Q

What starter is used when APU started with Battery power

A

Right Starter on APU

25
Q

Where does the APU power go

A

235 Vac Busses

26
Q

Cabin Systems
Cabin Lighting
PECS (single loop)

27
Q

What is powered with 2 FWD Ext Sources

A
NGS
HYD
IFE
Cabin Systems
Cabin Lighting
PECS (Both Loops)
28
Q

Does the Main Battery have to be on for Ground Handling Mode

A

NO

just one Ext Source

(mostly service and cargo items)

29
Q

Does the Main Battery have to be on to turn on Ground service mode by the flight Attendants?

A

No

an extension of the Ground Handling mode and allows the FA’s to turn on systems without pilots there

30
Q

What is the Priority sequence of the Power sources

A

Eng
APU
Ext Pwr

31
Q

What powers what buses with one eng started by APU

A

running eng powers the 2 buses on the same side (R1 R2)

APU powers the 2 other 2 buses (L1 L2)

32
Q

When does the APU automatically start

A

3 or more eng generators go off line

33
Q

When does the RAT automatically deploy

A

Loss of electrical power to the CA and FO flight instruments (In air Rat mode)C

(MAIN Bat supplies until RAT deploys)

34
Q

What is the difference between the RAT and Main Bat supply

A

Center Pitot heat not energized
