Q

What functions can the Generator Control switch perform?

A

On
Off

23
Q

How can you open a GCB?

A

Select Generator Control Switch Off
External Power connection
Pull the Fire Handle

24
Q

With the APU generator control switch ON, what happens?

A

Flow Bar in view
Arms the GCB to automatically close when APU power available

25
With the APU generator control switch OFF, what do you see/what happens?
Flow bar not in view Opens GCB Resets fault trip circuitry
26
Where do we connect External Power?
Just behind the Nose gear on the right side. 1 connection.
27
On external power, can you power flight deck lights?
Ground service switch
28
When external power is connected what is the new bus that is powered?
Ground Handling Bus
29
The ON light on the External power switch means what?
External power is connected to a main bus
30
What is the AC Bus priority?
Respective Engine Driven Generator APU Generator Cross Side Engine Driven Generator
31
What are the load shed events?
Overload Engine Start Loss of Generator
32
Why does an overload load shed event occur?
During Pressurisation of HYD – C2 Pump and both galley busses are shed As HYD reconfigured for flight the electrical primary and demand pumps draw a high load
33
What is lost when an Engine load shed event occurs?
Left Electric Demand Pump Both utility busses
34
What is lost when a Single power source load shed event occurs?
Both Galley buses Both utility buses Whatever else Boeing chooses
35
Starting right engine what should you see?
Engine Valve Light Spar Valve light They let you know you have control of the fuel system in the event of needing to shut it down
36
Shedding occurs when?
Thrust lever advanced with engine shutdown. Must reset Overload Start engine Single power source
37
****Why is load shedding less for starting second engine?
Engine providing power to buses. APU diverts air to provide 21PSI for start ?????
38
After engine start where does the Ground Handling Bus get its power from?
APU
39
After take off how long is the Ground Handling Bus powered?
Powered for take off until the main gear logic confirms airborne
40
External power switch AVAIL Light on. Where are the BTB?
Open
41
What happens to the BTB’s on R engine start?
On engine start R BTB opens when R GCB closes. L BTB remains closed to receive power from the APU. Flight instrument transfer BTB’s and DC BTB are open – waiting for fault
42
With a left bus fault, what lights are ON?
L Bus Tie ISLN L BTB BUS OFF L GEN CONT OFF Utility Bus L + R OFF
43
With a left bus fault, would you start the APU?
Yes. As a back up for the R Bus in case it fails
44
What items continue to be powered with dual AC power failure?
HDG – located on the C HYD system, powered automatically 4 Standby Buses CA Flight Inst Bus 2 ETOPS Buses
45
On the HDG why is the battery chargers light on?
Battery chargers are more powerful than the power being supplied by the HDG. When the power reduces to the HDG being stronger, the light will go out.
46
On the HDG what components on the panel are lost?
Upper lower EICAS Auto Brakes
47
With the loss of all AC power how are the IRU’s powered?
Hot Battery Bus. After 5 minutes, the right IRU shuts down
48
With the shut down of the R IRU, what else do we lose?
Captains Heading Flag on the RDMI
49
In the event of a using standby power, what happens to the fuel?
Suction fuel created by pressure differential. No AC fuel pumps
50
What items are lost with a dual AC power failure?
Lose the FO’s side EICAS CRT’s Auto brakes Cpt’s Heading RDMI
51
What no longer remains to be powered with the loss of the L Main AC Bus?
Utility Buses Galley Buses Left AC Transfer Bus Centre AC Bus
52
What systems are on the Hot Battery Bus
Fire extinguisher bottle - Fire Protection Captain clock APU fuel valve Backup power for IRU’s
53
If you lose the R Main AC Bus, what happens to the batteries?
No longer charged due to loss of the Ground Service Bus
54
With the APU generator control switch OFF light displayed, what happens?
Generator Control Breaker Open
