Q

What is required to enable the Captains flight instrument transfer bus to transfer with the loss of the left main AC?

A

Both the left and right Bus Tie Switches must be in AUTO

17
Q

With the APU supplying both electrical and pneumatic power:

What happens as the second engine is started?

A

Only the utility bus for the engine being started trips off

18
Q

During a triple channel approach, the left generator is lost at 140 feet:

What electrical bus, if any, is lost?

A

The Left Main AC Bus

19
Q

With the APU supplying electrical power, what happens when the first engine starts (reaches idle RPM)?

A

The engine driven generator powers its respective main AC Bus only

20
Q

With the Generator Control switch ON:

What automatically closes when the engine starts?

A

Generator breaker only

21
Q

When will the APU generator control OFF light illuminate

A

When the APU Generator breaker opens due to a fault

22
Q

What is powering the standby busses?

A

Left main AC; and
Left main DC

23
Q

In a single engine scenario.
How can the flight crew maintain electrical system redundancy?

A

By starting the APU and using the APU generator if available

24
Q

To what bus is the utility bus connected, when the utility bus switch is ON?

A

Respective main AC bus

25
Q

With the bus tie switch in AUTO:

What causes the AC Bus ISLN light to illuminate?

A

Bus fault has occured

26
Q

What does pushing the Generator Control switch off and then on accomplish?

A

It resets the fault trip circuitry

27
Q

What does the run light on the APU control panel indicate?

A

That the APU is at operating speed

28
Q

Will the GCB close automatically when the voltage and frequency of the respective IDG are within limits?

A

Yes

29
Q

What has occurred if during flight an off light illuminates and the “ON” indicator is visible in the generator control switch?

A

A fault has occurred and the generator control circuit breaker has automatically opened.

30
Q

What could cause the generator drive light to illuminate?

A

High oil temperature
Low Oil Pressure

31
Q

How many electrical buses are there in the standby power system?

A

Four (4)

32
Q

What is the backup source of power for the battery bus if the normal source is not available?

Q

The standby AC bus is normally powered by the?

A

Left main AC Bus

34
Q

The standby DC is normally powered by the

A

The left main DC bus

35
Q

With a loss of main AC and DC power what provides electrical power to the standby AC and DC buses?

A

The main battery

36
Q

What does an ISLN light mean in the bus tie switch?

A

The switch is off or a fault has occurred

37
Q

The ground handling bus can only be powered on the ground by?

A

APU or external power

38
Q

What is the alternate source of power for the STBY AC?

A
