Q

Recall the function of the Ground Power (GRD PWR) Switch

OFF
neutral
ON

A

Three position switch, spring – loaded to neutral

OFF – disconnects ground power from AC transfer busses.

ON – if momentarily moved to ON position and ground power is available, removes previously connected power from AC transfer busses and connects ground power to AC transfer busses when power quality is correct.

Q

Recall that it is not possible to use APU power and GRD power at the same time.

(2)

A

There are two basic principles of operation for the 737 electrical system:

  • No paralleling of AC sources of power.
  • The source of power being connected to a transfer bus automatically disconnects the existing source.

Q

Recall the function of positioning the APU Generator (GEN) Switches to ON.

(2)

A

Neither AC transfer bus powered by an IDG Moving an APU GEN switch to ON:

  • Powers both AC transfer busses from the APU generator.
  • Disconnects external power, if connected.

Both AC transfer busses powered by IDGs Moving an APU GEN switch to ON:

  • Powers the related AC transfer bus from the APU generator.
  • Other AC transfer bus continues to receive power from the IDG.

A
  • Cabin lighting
  • Utility outlets
  • Battery chargers
17
Q

Recall the location of the GROUND SERVICE Switch

A

The forward flight attendant panel.

18
Q

Recall the function of the Generator (GEN) Switches

OFF
ON

A

OFF – disconnects IDG from related AC transfer bus by opening generator circuit breaker.

ON – connects IDG to related AC transfer bus by disconnecting previous power source and closing generator circuit breaker.

19
Q

Recall the function of the BUS TRANSFER Switch.

AUTO
OFF

A

AUTO – bus tie breakers operate automatically to maintain power to AC transfer busses from any operating generator or external power.

OFF – isolates AC transfer bus 1 from AC transfer bus 2

20
Q

Recall the function of the Generator Drive Disconnect (DISCONNECT) Switches.

A

Disconnects IDG if electrical power is available and engine start lever is in IDLE.

21
Q

Explain the function of the battery switch.

OFF
ON

A

ON –

  • Provides battery power.
  • Provides automatic switching of standby electrical system to battery power with loss of normal power.

OFF –

-Removes battery power.

22
Q

Describe the function of the GROUND SERVICE switch on the Forward F/A panel.

ON
OFF

A

Provides manual control of ground service busses. Enables servicing of airplane using external power without activating AC transfer busses.

ON – connects external power to ground service bus.

OFF – disconnects external power from ground service bus.
