Q

Which of the following statements is correct or not correct:

  • the illumination of the engine START DISG button is a function of the panel lights control NIGHT DIM switch
  • the generator switchs are placed in the OFF position for an EPU start
  • a failed left 225 amp current limiter prevents starting of the left engine
A

All are correct

17
Q

With the electrical system operating normally (both generators on the line with the BATT switch in BATT) what function has the GCU (Generator Control Unit)….

A

The GCU serve to automatically regulate, parallel, and protect the generators

18
Q

Placing the BATT switch in EMER with the generator on the line… which point is correct or not….

A) causes loss of power to the emergency bus since the generators are on the line

B) causes the emergency bus to be powered by the battery

C) still provides charging power to the battery

D) should result in the battery voltage remaining at 29 volts

A

Only B is correct

19
Q

Loss of both generators, what is happening on the anunciator panel…

A
  • R and L GEN OFF anunciators
  • MASTER CAUTION RESET light on
  • MASTER WARNING RESET light on

  • starter generator
21
Q

The BATT OTEMP anunciator comes on steady and remains steady after the MASTER WARNING RESET switch light is depressed, first step to do…

A

Move BATT switch to EMER and observe volts and amps

22
Q

Both engines are started and the AFY J-BOX LMT anunciator is illuminated, what has happened….

A

A 225 amp current limiter is blown and must be repaired before flight

23
Q
