Q

WHERE IS THE PLUG IN FOR THE GPU? HOW DO WE USE IT?

A

BELOW THE CAPTAIN SIDES WINDOW
SYSTEM WILL CHECK FOR PROPER (VOLTAGE/AMERAGE/FREQUENCY) AND A GREEN “AVAIL” ON THE ELECTRICAL CONTROL PANEL ALLOWS USE TO USE IT AS THE PRIMARY POWER SOURCE. (PUSH IN)

Q

WHAT TYPE OF BATTERIES DO WE HAVE? WHAT DO THEY POWER DIRECTLY?

A

TWO 24 V SLAB (SEALED LEAD ACID BATTERIES)

POWER THE DC ESSENTIAL BUSES AND THE HOT BATTERY BUSES.

17
Q

WHY IS THE FUEL PANEL ON THE HOT BUS?

A

TO ALLOW FUELING AND DEFUELING WHEN THE AIRPLANE IS POWERED DOWN.

18
Q

WHAT ELECTRICAL INFORMATION IS ON THE STATUS PAGE?

A

BATTERY VOLTAGE.

19

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM BATTERY VOLTAGE FOR NORMAL OPERATION? WHEN IS A MAINTENACE WRITEUP REQUIRED?

A
  1. 5V

21. 0V

20
Q

WHAT DO THE IDG SELECTOR INDICATE?

A

AUTO: AUTO SUPPLIES AC POWER AFTER ENGINE START
OFF
DISC: MECHANICALLY DISCONNECT IDG (MUST BE HELD FOR 1 TO 3 SECONDS). MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED
AMBER LIGHT INDICATES LOW/HIGH OIL PRESSURE, ALONG WITH EICAS MSG

21
Q

WHAT DOES THE AC BUS TIE SELECTOR INDICATE?

A

1 OPEN: OPENS BTC 1, SEGREGATING AC BUS 1 FROM 2
AUTO
2 OPEN: OPENS BTC 2, SEGREGATING AC BUS 2 FROM 1

22
Q

WHAT IS THE NORMAL OPERATION OF THE APU BUTTON?

A

NORMALLY PUSHED IN

23
Q

TRU SELCTORS INDIATIONS?

A

AUTO: AUTO OPERATION
OFF: ISOLATES TRU FROM THE ASSOCIATED BUS

24
Q

BATTERY 1 SELECTOR KNOB INDICATIONS?

A

ON: SUPPLIES POWER TO DUS BUS 1 AND HOT BATTERY BUS 1
OFF: ONLY SUPPLIES POWER TO HOT BUS 1

25
Q

DC BUS TIE TOGGLE SWITCH INDICATIONS?

A

AUTO

OFF: OPENS BOTH ESSENTIAL TIE CONTACTORS (ETC) AND DC TIE CONTACTOR (DCTC)

26
Q

BATTERY 2 SELECTOR KNOB INDICATIONS?

A

AUTO: AUTOMATICALLY POWERS DC BUS 2 OR APU START BU AND HOT BATTERY BUS 2
OFF: ONLY SUPPLIES POWER TO HOT BUS 2

27
Q
