17
Q

What are the 6 DC buses

A

18
Q

What powers the DC system

A

Four TR units that are powered by the main and essential AC buses

19
Q

What are the two identical 24V 35 ampere hour batteries

A

Utility battery (powers utility battery bus); and Avionics battery (powers avionics battery bus)

20
Q

What does the BTRY switch on the ELECTRICAL panel do

A

Connects the utility battery to the isolated DC bus; and the avionics battery to the avionics DC bus

21
Q

What does the BTRY TEST switch do

A

Displays one of the following on the DC voltmeter: isolated DC bus voltage, avionics battery voltage, or utility battery voltage

22
Q

When all 4 engine generators are running and APU is off how is power supplied to the AC buses

A

Each supplies power to one AC bus

23
Q
