Electrical Power System Flashcards
External power receptacle is located
Right side of the fuselage at the wing trailing edge
GEN 1
9kw, 300A
GEN 2
6kw 200A
Batteries
2 batteries, 20 cells, Nickel Cadmium, 25V, 24Ah
How the batteries are connected
In parallel
GEN 2 starts operating at
40% RPM
GEN 2 erogates max power at
60% RPM
5 busses
Essential bus
Primary bus
Secondary bus
Battery bus
Anti-ice bus
With engine anti-ice system on, the anti-ice bus provides power to
The resistors in the ducts and lips
In case of gens failure, or engine flame out, if the BATT SWITCH is moved to EMERG, batteries capability of supplying power for
46min (70% state of charge, daytime, 25ºC)
31min (70% state of charge, nighttime,
-18ºC)
By moving BATT SWITCH to EMERG the only bus feeded from batteries is
Essential bus
Data detected from temperature sensors are delivered to
EDAB for data processing and showing on MFDs
BAT HOT
Temp 66ºC
If BAT HOT light comes on the pilot should
Switch off the BATT SWITCH
AC (Alternate Current) system
Single phase Static Inverter, 115V, 600A
What are the systems alimented by inverter?
Power air-to-air missiles and AACMI pods
Alternate current (AC) is used for
Power air-to-air missiles and AACMI pods (Static Inverter)
Feed the igniter plugs (AC Ignition Units convert power from 28VDC Essential Bus into alternating current)
If we loose GEN1
Anti-ice bus
Secondary bus
If we loose GEN2
Anti-ice bus
If we loose GEN1/2
Anti-ice bus
Secondary bus
If we loose BATT1/2
Battery bus
If we loose gens or experiment an engine failure, batteries will supply power for how long? (NO EMG SWITCH)
21min daytime 70% state of charge 25ºC
14min nighttime 70% state of charge -18ºC
If it comes on, when the BAT HOT turns off?
If temp goes below 60ºC
External power provides
28VDC, 800A
GEN1 works as starter up to
23%RPM then polarities are inverted
The GENs electrical load is monitored by
Relais Control Box
The Relais Control Box
Disconnects generators in case of short circuit
Power coming from generators is regulated by
Gen Control Unit (2)
GEN1 delivers full power at
40% RPM
Generator Control Units normally take power output difference within a value of
0.1 on loadmeters
If generators are disconnected because of an overload condition, the Relais Control Box is reset by
Moving the GEN SWITCH to RESET
The battery bus aliments mainly
Utilities used on the ground
What MFDs are alimented by essential bus?
Center MFD
Right MFD
Left MFD, HUD and DEP are alimented by which bus?
Primary bus
External power provides energy to
All the buses except Anti-ice bus
How many caution legend are associated to electrical system?
GEN1/2
BAT1/2
BAT HOT
CKT BRK
When the inverter is energized?
Anytime DC power is available going through the primary bus
Engine anti-ice takes power from which bus?
Primary bus
Air intake anti-ice and ducts take power from which bus?
Secondary bus + anti-ice bus
When you turn on the battery, which light on the glareshield comes on?
Anti Skid for 6-10sec
