Q

Is the Ground Service Bus normally live during flight?

A

Yes

18
Q

If the right generator fails, and the right Bus Tie ISLN light is illuminated, will the right AC bus be powered?

A

No, the Bus Tue Breaker is locked open

19
Q

If the right generator fails, and the right Bus Tie ISLN light is illuminated, will the batteries continue to charge?

A

No, the Ground Service Bus will also fail

20
Q

When will the Backup Electrical System automatically power one or both Transfer Busses?

A
  1. Only one main AC generator (includes APU) is available
  2. Power to one or both of the main AC busses is lost
  3. Approach (APP) mode is selected for autoland
  4. The system is automatically tested after engine starts
21
Q

What is the power source for the Backup AC Electrical system?

A

One Backup Generator mounted on each engine

22
Q

How many Backup Generators can connect to the electrical system at one time?

A

One

23
Q

What normally powers the captain’s flight instruments?

A

C1 TRU

24
Q

What powers the captain’s flight instruments if the C1 TRU fails?

A

C2 TRU through FO FLT INST bus

25
Q

What powers the captain’s flight instruments if both C1 and C2 TRUs fail?

A

Battery Bus

26
Q

Which units normally power the left and right main DC buses?

A

The L TRU and R TRU

27
Q

Which buses power the L and R TRUs?

A

The L and R Transfer buses respectively

28
Q

During normal conditions what powers the Hot Battery Bus?

A

The main battery charger

29
Q

During normal conditions what powers the Battery Bus?

A

Captain’s Flt Inst Bus (C1 TRU)

30
Q

During normal conditions what powers the Standby AC Bus?

A

L Transfer Bus

31
Q

If the left TRU fails what powers the left main DC bus?

A

The right Main DC bus

32
Q

Where are the battery chargers powered from?

A

The ground service bus

33
Q

What are the primary electrical sources for the flight control DC electrical systems?

A

Engine driven Permanent Magnetic Generators (PMGs)

34
Q

If PMG AC power is not available, what secondary source of power supplies which DC Flight Control Buses?

A

Main DC busses supply L and R Flight Control DC busses; Captain’s Flight Instrument bus supplies the C Flight Control DC bus

35
Q

When operating on the Standby Electrical System, which DC Flight Control Buses will be powered from the Hot Battery Bus?

A

L and C Flight Control DC busses only

36
Q

If primary power is lost, what does the Standby Electrical System supply power to?

A

AC and DC power to selected flight instruments, communications and navigation systems, and the flight control system

37
Q

The Main battery can provide standby power to which busses?

A
  1. Hot Battery bus
  2. Battery Bus
  3. Captain’s Flight Instrument bus
  4. L and C flight control PSAs
  5. Standby Inverter
38
Q

For how long can the Main battery provide standby power?

A

Minimum 10 minutes

39
Q

In flight, when would the RAT deploy automatically?

A

When both AC transfer busses lose power

40
Q

The RAT generator provides standby power to what?

A

To the C1 and C2 TRUs

41
Q

What supplies power until RAT deployment?

A

The Main battery
