25
Q
  1. When you connect external power to the

airplane electrical system, are both TB’s powered?

26
Q
  1. If the APU is powering the TB’s and EXT PWR

is selected ON, how many busses will EXT power?

27
Q
  1. What does a TRANSFER BUS OFF light mean?
A

 Transfer bus not powered

28
Q
  1. What does a GEN OFF BUS light mean?
A

 IDG not supplying power to the TB

29
Q
  1. What does a SOURCE OFF light mean?
A

 Respective IDG not powering bus or previously selected source no longer
 powering bus

30
Q
  1. What does the BUS TRANSFER switch do?
A

 Enables or disables autobus switching

31
Q
  1. What does the APU GEN OFF BUS light mean?
A

 APU GEN available but not powering any busses

32
Q
  1. If the APU is supplying power to both TB’s and one APU GEN switch is moved to OFF, what happens?
A

 That source off light illuminates and both transfer busses remain powered

33
Q
  1. What happens in flight if an IDG fails?
A

 Auto bus transfer allows other IDG to power failed side IDG’S TB

34
Q
  1. How many TR’s are there?
A

 Four (TR#1, TR#2, TR#3, and Battery Charger)

35
Q
  1. What normally supplies power to the standby AC bus; if AC power is not available?
A

 TB #1; inverter

36
Q
  1. Is it possible to power one TB from EXT and

one TB from APU?

37
Q
  1. Is it possible to power one TB from EXT or

APU and one TB from an IDG?

38
Q
  1. Is ground service available without powering

all of the airplane busses?

39
Q
  1. How is the ground service available without
    powering all the a/c busses accomplished?



A

 Ground service switch on fwd FA panel

40
Q
  1. What happens if you takeoff with the APU powering both TB’s and the APU fails?
A

 Auto connect to engine IDG’S one time only (flight only)

41
Q
  1. For single generator operation, is load shedding automatic or manual?
A

 Automatic

42
Q
  1. Which components are shed automatically?
A

 (Galley Switch Option) galleys on txfr bus 2, then galleys on txfr bus 1, then main bus #2, then main bus #1
 (CAB/UTIL Switch Option) galleys and main bus on txfr bus #2, then galleys and main bus on txfr bus #1, then IFE busses

43
Q
  1. In flight, if the APU is the only available power source do you have to manually load shed?
44
Q
  1. How is the load shed when the APU is the only

power source?

A

 (CAB/UTIL Switch Option) in flight, all galley and main busses are shed. If load still too high, the IFE busses are shed (Galley Switch Option) all galleys are shed first; if load is still too high, all main busses are shed

45
Q
  1. On the ground, will the APU load shed?
A

 The APU attempts to carry the full electrical load except during engine start

46
Q
  1. Is load restoration automatic or manual?
A

 Automatic

47
Q
  1. Can you manually restore galley power? How?
A

 maybe, cycle galley switch and see

48
Q
  1. What would an IDG automatically disconnect

for?

A

 High IDG oil temperature

49
Q
  1. Can a disconnected IDG be reconnected in

flight?

50
Q
  1. What normally powers:

 DC BUS #1?

A

a. TR1, 2, and 3

51
Q
  1. Normally, are DC BUS #1 and DC BUS #2 isolated?
52
Q
  1. When are the main DC BUSSES isolated

automatically?

A

 At glideslope intercept

53
Q
  1. How can you isolate the DC BUSSES

manually?

A

 Bus transfer switch off

54
Q
  1. How long will a fully charged battery be able

to supply standby power?

A

 30 minutes (single battery option)

 1 hour (dual battery option)

55
Q
  1. Does STANDBY POWER include one attempt

at starting the APU (fully charged battery)?

A

 Yes (not recommended above FL250)

56
Q
  1. What busses are powered by the battery after

loss of both generators?

A 
 Hot battery bus
 Switched hot battery bus 
 Battery bus
 Standby AC
 Standby DC
 Static inverter
57
Q
  1. What normally powers:

 DC BUS #2?

A

a. TR1, 2, and 3

58
Q
  1. What normally powers:

 STBY AC BUS?

59
Q
  1. What normally powers:

 STBY DC BUS?

A

a. TR1, or all TRs.

60
