Q

What unit converts the back up generator frequency?

A

FREQ converter.

17
Q

How many backup generators can be used at a time?

A

1 (since BUGs have same input).

18
Q

What are the PMGs in the backup generator used for?

A

To supply DC power to FLT control power supply assemblies (FCDCs).

19
Q

Which AC busses supply the TRUs?

A

L & R AC transfer busses.

20
Q

What normally powers the hot battery bus?

A

Main battery charger.

21
Q

What is the purpose of the APU battery?

A

Provides power to APU electrical starter (used when insufficient bleed air for APU turbine starter). .

22
Q

What is the secondary power source for the C FCDC PSA?

A

Captain’s FLT instrument bus.

23
Q

Which FCDC PSAs can be powered by the hot battery bus?

A

L & C PSAs only.

24
Q

What is the purpose of the dedicated PSA battery?

A

To avoid power interruptions to the related FLT control DC bus

25
Q

What type of power is provided by the standby electrical system?

A

DC & AC power.

26
Q

What does the standby electrical system supply?

A

• FLT instruments. • Communication & navigation equipment.

27
Q

When does the standby inverter supply the AC standby bus?

A

When L transfer bus is not powered.

28
Q

What does the RAT generator supply?

A

STBY power to C1 & C2 TRUs.

29
Q

What are the altitude and airspeed limitations of the RAT generator?

A

None (operates at all ALTs & airspeeds)

30
Q

What supplies power until the RAT RPM is sufficient?

A

Main battery.

31
Q

What will cause automatic deployment of the RAT?

A

• Both AC transfer busses lose power in FLT. • Both engines are failed and C system pressure is low. • All 3 hydraulic system pressure are low.
