Q

If ESS TRU 1 and 2 fail, how would the DC Essential Bus remain powered?

A

The automatic closure of the ESS TIE and the CROSS TIE will power both the DC BATT BUS and the DC ESS BUS in this situation

Q

What is the purpose of the ESS TRU 2 Tie Contactor?

A

After failure of both AC BUS 2 and ESS TRU 1, allows the AC ESS BUS to power ESS TRU 2. It will also do this if on ADG power and ESS TRU 1 fails.

Q

What is the minimum airspeed required for proper operation of the ADG generator and why must the handle be pulled after an auto deployment?

A

135 KIAS is minimum speed and will no longer generate sufficent power on approach. The DC ESS bus will continue to be powered through the batteries but after landing with the WOW, the internal logic will cause the loss of power to the DC ESS bus unless the handle is pulled.

Q

If the pilot presses the IDG DISC switchlight, the generator can be regained by releasing the switchlight

A

False.

20
Q

If the checklist calls for it, how many attempts can be made to reset a failed generator?

A

ONE attempt

21
Q

What DC bus is not normally displayed on the DC synoptic page?

When will it display?

A

DC EMER BUS

It will display when power is lost from one or both sources

22
Q

What should happen if one of the engine generators fails in flight?

A

The AUTO XFER relays should close to allow the remaining generator to power both AC systems.

23
Q

What does an illuminated FAIL light on the AUTO XFER switchlight indicate?

A

AUTO XFER was inhibited due to a fault on AC Bus 1 or 2.

24
Q

What does it indicate if the AC ESS ALTN switchlight is illuminated?

A

AC ESS BUS is being powered by AC Bus 2.

25
Q

Where is the APU battery located?

A

In the aft equipment bay

26
Q

Where is the main battery located?

A

in the forward nose compartment

27
Q

When operating off only the batteries in an emergency power situation, how many minutes of battery life does each APU start attempt cost?

A

6 minutes

28
Q

What powers the DC emergency bus?

A

The APU Battery direct bus and the DC battery bus

29
Q

What items are powered by the DC emergency bus

A

engine fire extinguishers, APU fire extinguishers, Fuel SOV’s and HYD SOV’s

30
Q

Can hyd 3B pump be deselected after an ADG deployment?

A

no it is hardwired to the ADG bus for continuous operation

31
Q

how much power does the ADG produce?

A

15KVA 115 volts

32
Q

When will the ADG automatically deploy?

A

During a complete AC power failure

33
Q

What does the DC ESS bus primarily provide power for?

A

The captains flight instruments

34
Q

How are the DC bus ties controlled?

A

DC bus tie control is automatically accomplished through the two DC power centers DCPC

35
Q

How can external power be used by the ground crew when the cockpit door is locked?

A

press the AC PUSH switchlight on the external service panel

36
Q

Name an example the DC service switch may be used for?

A

External aircraft lights while re-positioning the aircraft without the battery master on

37
Q

In an aircraft with no power switched on, which buses are powered?

A

The APU and Main battery direct buses and the emergency bus

38
Q

How many volts must be present prior to APU start?

A

22 volts

39
Q

How many AC buses are there?

A

Four

40
Q

How many DC buses are there?

A

nine

41
Q

What normally powers AC bus 1 and 2 and what is the switching priority in an abnormal situation?

A

G onside generator
A APU
G offside generator
E external power

42
Q

How many DC bus ties are there?

A

5 the main tie, cross tie, utility tie, essential tie and essential TRU tie

43
Q

What items are on the utility bus?

A

the passenger service units

44
Q

if the cross tie closes what else will close?

A

The main tie and essential tie will close

45
Q

when is the DC utility bus shed?
