Q

If electrical power demand exceeds the capacity of the generator operating normally, the electrical bus loads are redistributed to available generators as follows:

aka Three little pigs

A
  1. Backup pump, will always be powered if required (#1 AC primary bus)
  2. Mission power is the next priority (AC Secondary bus). Bus also has tail rotor deice
  3. Main rotor deice has lowest priority (AC Monitor bus)

17
Q

Battery fault caution means that the ______

A

Battery has an overtemperature or cell dissimilarity. Battery is disconnected from the charging circuit.

18
Q

Search light can be moved ?

A

120* forward and 360* about its axis

19
Q

When you turn the search light off will it re-stow?

A

No. It will remain in current position

20
Q

The rescue light can be operated from the crew hover panel only when?

A

The cockpit switch is in OFF or FWD.

21
Q

What is the primary source of electrical power, and where can it be supplied from?

A
Alternating Current (ac) power
Main generators, APU generator, or external power.
22
Q

Where is DC electrical power supplied from?

A

two converters that convert 115-vold ac power to 28-vold dc power

23
Q

When does the #1/#2 GEN caution appear?

A
  1. Respective generator is not supplying power to the buses
  2. Respective Generator is selected off
  3. A failure of the generator, GCU, contactor control relay, or a wiring fault has occurred.
24
Q

When does the #1/#2 GEN BRG caution appear?

A

When the generator main bearing is worn or has failed

25
Q

When does the APU GEN caution appear?

A
  1. Failure of the APU-driven generator, GCU, contactor control relay, or wiring fault
  2. APU generator selected ON, APU started, but has not reached operating limits.
26
Q

What are the two converters powered by?

A

The #1 and #2 AC primary buses

27
Q

The 24-volt dc battery is the primary source of power for _______ and the secondary source of power for the ____ and ____.

A

APU Starting

DC essential bus, Battery bus

28
Q

What does the battery analyzer/conditioner do?

A

It monitors the battery system for:

  • fault conditions
  • battery charge
  • internal temperature
  • cell conditions
  • provides a battery-charging capability.
29
Q

If the converters are operating and the BATT switch is ON, the charging circuit of the analyzer/conditioner receives power from what?

A

the No. 2 AC Primary bus and DC charging power from the No. 2 DC Primary bus.

30
Q

What does the #1 Converter power?

A

1 DC primary bus

DC essential Bus
Battery Bus

31
Q

What does the #2 Converter power?

A

2 DC Primary Bus

32
Q

What happens if a single converter fails?

If both converters fail?

A

The operating converter will pick up the load of the buses powered by the failed converter via automatic bus switching

The battery provides a source of emergency electrical power to the Battery Utility bus, the Battery bus (if the switch is on) and the DC Essential bus
Both Flight and Mission displays will be lost

33
Q

Can the Pilot override the Copilot when controlling the searchlight on the collective?

A

Yes

34
Q
