Q

How is it known that an AC GPU is hooked up to the airplane and ready to provide electricity?

A

GPU button displays AVAIL and the GPU icon is presented on the electrical synoptic page.

Once the GPU button is pushed in, the button will display IN USE provided another AC power source is not available

Q

What will charge the batteries?

A

Any AC power source

17
Q

How long will the aircraft’s batteries last with no recharging?

A

10 minutes

18
Q

What is the purpose of the DC GPU receptacle ?

A

For APU start when batteries are less than 22.5 VDC, or

If battery temp is less than -20 degrees C

19
Q

What is the minimum battery voltage to close the battery bus- ties?

A

18 Volts

20
Q

What battery is used for the APU start ?

A

BATT 2 powers the APU start bus

BATT 1 powers the FADEC and EICAS for monitoring

21
Q

What is the purpose of the inverter?

A

Converts 28 VDC from the batteries to 115 VAC to power the AC STANDBY BUS when an AC source is not available.

22
Q

What is on the AC STANDBY BUS?

A

Engine exciters 1A and 2A

23
Q

What powers the Ram Air Turbine RAT?

A

Airflow turns the RAT propeller which spins the turbine inside

24
Q

When will the RAT deploy?

A

Automatically deploys if AC BUSSES are not powered

Manually by pilot

25
Q

How long after deployment before the RAT will supply power?

A

8 seconds

26
Q

Is there a total loss of power during the 8 second RAT deployment?

A

No. Batteries supply power to the DC ESSENTIAL BUSSES and AC STANDBY BUS

27
Q

What does the RAT power ?

A

ESSENTIAL BUSSES

28
Q

What is minimum airspeed for the RAT?

A

130 KIAS

Load shedding occurs below this speed

29
Q

When is the RAT icon displayed on the electrical synoptic page?

A

When the RAT is deployed

30
Q

What manages the electrical system?

A

4 Integrated Control Centers ICC

2 Secondary Power Distribution Assemblies ( SPDA)

31
Q

What is an ICC?

A

An electrical control device, which provides power distribution and protection for electrical loads

32
Q

What is an SPDA?

A

An electrical load management unit (powered be the ICC’s) that distributes electrical loads to aircraft systems according to distribution logic

33
Q

Can the flight crew reset the ICC and SPDA remote electronic CBs?

A

ICC CB’s can only be reset by maintenance

SPDA CB’s can be reset via the MCDU

34
Q

of networks and why

A

2
Redundancy
Fault isolation
