Electrical Power Flashcards
In normal configuration, how is DC ESS bus supplied?
TR 1
What happens in case of total loss of main generators when airborne?
The RAT is automatically extended and powers the blue hydraulic system which drives the emergency generator
AC ESS bus is normally supplied by:
AC BUS 1
DC BAT BUS can be supplied by
DC BUS 1, DC BUS 2 or batteries
AC BUS tie contactors enable the electrical system
To be supplied by any generator or external power
What happens during EMER GEN TEST ?
The EMER GEN is driven hydraulically if the blue electric pump is running
When disconnecting the IDG, the button should be pressed
For no more than 3 seconds
On the EMER ELEC PWR panel, a fault light illuminates under the RAT and EMER GEN label. What does it mean?
Emergency generator is not supplying power when AC BUS1 and 2 are not powered
What happens when the GEN 1 LINE pushbutton is set to off?
AC bus 1 is powered by GEN 2 because GEN 1 line contactor is opened.
In cold aircraft configuration (no AC and no DC supply), where can the battery voltage be checked?
On the ELEC overhead panel.
In flight, on batteries only, the AC ESS SHED BUS and the DC ESS SHED BUS are lost
True
The static inverter works
When the aircraft speed is above 50 knots, the inverter is automatically activated, if nothing but the batteries are supplying electrical power
On ground, what happens if the MAN ON pushbutton on the EMER ELEC PWR panel is pressed in
The RAT is extended
The static inverter transforms the DC voltage from the BATTERY BUS into
Single phase 115 V - 400 hertz AC current
When operating, GEN 1 and 2 have priority over APU GEN
