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

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.
