Q

If one TRU fails, will both secondary buses be powered?

A

Yes through the secondary horizontal bus tie

30
Q

If both TRU’s fail, will the SEC buses be powered?

A

Yes through both main buses (vertical ties)

31
Q

What is DC logic?

A

The unit that controls closing of bus ties automatically following a set of perameters (Slaney’s mouse)

32
Q

What is the priority for DC logic?

A

Horizontal ties

33
Q

DC BUS

A

More than 400Amp draw detected on one of the main buses.
All Central ties inhibited from closing. If this caution persists for 7 seconds, main battery and gen are also disconnected automatically

34
Q

What is the function of the DC bus reset switch?

A

To reset the DC BUS fault to check if the fault remains

35
Q

Loss of both DC generators procedure requires turning off all battery switches. why? what is supplying the power for the DC system? What if one fails?

A

To prevent over heating the batteies as the TRU’s arent regulated
The TRU’s supply all the DC power,
If one fails, all cockpit power is lost (horizontal tie priority)

36
Q

What are the TRU load limits?

A

1.0 in flight and on ground

37
Q

AC gen limits?

A

0.33 on Ground (above 10deg) otherwise 1.0

38
Q

At what voltage are the batteries considered flat?

39
Q

What is the amp/hr rating of the batteries? how long will we have battery power for in a complete electrical failure?

A

40A/hr. 30mins guarenteed (51mins really)

40
Q

How many amps are being drawn from a DC gen at a load rating of 0.7?

41
Q

What are the 2 battery heat sensors connected to?

A

One to temp gauge, other to BATT HOT warning. both to master warning

42
Q

What is connected to the Battery bus?

A 
ENG +APU fire ext. activation circuits
Fuel and hydraulic shutoff valves
Refuel/Defuel shut off valves + refuel panel
Dome lights and Boarding lights
PA emergency power
43
Q

What bus does the external power and APU power feed into?

A

R MAIN (GPU is also L MAIN)

44
Q

What is the danger of turning on the GPU without the batteries on?

A

Power spike and damage to equipment

45
Q

What will happen is the GPU is left plugged in but switched off?

A

The external power circuit stays connected, green light stays on but massive discharge from batteries (~1.2)

46
Q

If you have a blown external power CB will starting be available?

A

Not on external power, the other CB will blow

47
Q

In the cockpit what instruments are powered by the ESS bus?

A

CAPT instruments and screens,
Engine instruments,
LDG gear and Flap
NAV1/COM1 (note no FMS)

48
Q

Where does power for F/O’s instruments come from?

A

R MAIN (also COM2/NAV2, Antiskid and an FMS)

49
Q

What temp do the BATT HOT warnings come on at?

50
Q

Where is the DC gen on the engine?

A

Accessory gbox

51
Q

What does a flashing +ve sign mean on a DC gen readout?

A

That gen is producing more than 300Amps

52
Q

What are the functions of the Generator control unit

A

What freq do the VAC and FAC buses operate at?

A

400hz FAC, 200-400 VAC

56
Q

What inverter powers the CAPT nav gear?

A

Primary (L ESS)

57
Q

PRI/SEC/AUX INV

A

Inverter failure

58
Q

L/R 26VAC

A

Bus unpowered

59
Q

Max amps from GPU?

60
Q

If the external power is a lower voltage than the batteries what will happen?

A

The batteries will discharge

61
Q

What cools the AC gens?

A

Oil cooled

62
Q

What are the 115VAC buses primarily used for?

A

heaters and pumps

A

AC gen overheat - QRH

No auto disconnect

64
Q

1/2 AC GEN

A

AC gen not producing power

65
Q

Where are the TRU’s and CB’s located in the AC?

66
