Electrical System Flashcards
Max continuous amperage of the engine driven generators
300 amps. AFM 1-13
The 2 main batteries and emergency batteries can be charged by
One or both engine driven generators, APU generator, or GPU. PTM 2-4
Each engine has a(n) ( ) which provides AC power to the same side windshield.
Alternator. PTM 2-27
The voltage readings on the EICAS are taken from the (3)
Left Essential bus, Right Essential bus, and Emergency Battery bus.
“E3”
PTM 2-12
When the main and emergency batteries are powering their respective buses, the EICAS voltage will read
Approximately 24 volts. PTM 2-12
When the aircraft generators, APU generator, or GPU are powering the aircraft, the EICAS voltage should read
Approximately 28 volts. PTM 2-12
The amperage readout for the APU or starter/generator will exceed 300 amps during
Engine start. AFM 1-13
In the event of a single generator failure, the bus tie should close after
A 5 second ground fault check. PTM 2-34
Following a single generator failure, the ( ) and ( ) are auto shed.
Left and Right Non-Essential buses. PTM 2-34
Which buses are auto shed following a dual generator failure? (6)
Left and Right Main buses
Left and Right Avionics buses
Left and Right Non Essential buses
“MAN!”
PTM 2-36
True or false
The exterior lights are auto shed following a dual generator failure?
True
PTM 2-36 and 3-12
Following a dual generator failure, the bus tie ( )
Remains open. PTM 2-36
Following a dual generator failure, which anti icing equipment is auto shed?
Wing/Stab heat, L & R main probes, and P2T2 probes. PTM 2-36, 10-4, & 10-9
Following a dual generator failure, the Left and Right amber NAC CAS msgs will illuminate. Why?
Because the NAC SOV’s fail open but the P2T2 probes are auto shed. PTM 2-36 and 10-4.
Name all the items auto shed after a dual generator failure.
- Left and Right Main buses
- Left and Right Avionics buses
- Left and Right Non-Essential buses
- Exterior lights
- Wing/Stab heat
- P2T2 probes
- L & R main probes
“OH MAN” Outside lights, Heat, Main buses, Avionics buses, Non-essential buses
After connecting a GPU, the bus tie should
Close. PTM 2-10
When the APU is connected, the bus tie should
Close. PTM 2-9
