What is the GCU, and what does it do?
The generator control unit (GCU)
automatically switches the generator
from starter to generator mode
- GCU acts as a voltage regulator
when in generator mode
- GCU controls generator through the
generator line contactor (GLC)
- GCU protects generator from reverse
current flow
- 32.5 volts or greater will cause GCU
to open the GLC due to over-voltage
Why are the generators 28 volts?
To charge the 24 volt batteries when operating
How is electricity distributed in the 900XP?
Through the electrical buses
How are the batteries’ voltages tested? Do you need to have the batteries on?
Through the volt-meter on the overhead panel - batteries do not need to be on
