Q

In Normal ops…battery 1 is connected parallel with GENS

26
Q

Battery 2 normally runs in parallel with GENS

27
Q

Which battery starts the APU

28
Q

What happens to battery 1 during APU start?

A

It’s isolated Battery 1 contactor opens

29
Q

Battery AUTO switch does what?

A

Battery contactors controlled by the EDL

30
Q

GPU is connected and selected on…what do battery contractors do?

A

OPEN….they disconnect the batteries. Batteries cannot be charged with GPU

31
Q

with battery power only on ground, do you have shed busses?

32
Q

How can you connect shed busses on ground?

A

SHED BUSES OVRD and at least one generator

33
Q

BATT OVTEMP happens when

A

More the 70 C

34
Q

Batteries less than 24v after APU start…what’s required?

A

APU must run 30 minutes to recharge

35
Q

What does Back Up Battery on Overhead panel do?

A

Backup Battery charging…

36
Q

when do EDG come on line?

37
Q

How many gen resets?

38
Q

What 3 electrical sources can start APU?

A

GPU, Battery 2, or Battery 2 with Main gen assist

39
Q

What does backup battery power?

A

Backup hot bus, which includes the 5 GCU’s and the EDL

40
Q

Can battery 1 start APU?

41
Q

APU powers which bus?

A

CENTRAL DC

42
Q

When does APU come on online?

A

95% plus 7 seconds

43
Q

On ground when are all DC buses on?

A

a. At least 3 gens. online
b. GPU on and connected
c. One generator running and SHED OVRD

44
Q

Explain electrical config with 4 or 5 generators online

A

Left and right networks are isolated and all buses are energized

45
Q

Explain electrical config with 3 gens online

A

one network connected through bus tie contactors which are closed…all buses eneergized

46
Q

Explain elec configuration with 1 or 2 gens online

A

Same as with 3 but shed buses drop out (one network, bus tie contactors both closed)

47
Q

electrical emergency…no generators (in flight)

A

Batteries only power Essential Euses only

48
Q

Which displays still work in emergency power?

A

EICAS, RMU 1 and 2, and the ISIS

49
Q

what do avionics master buttons on overhead do?

A

Allow shutting off radios and nav during APU start to avoid spikes

50
Q

Inverter Powers what?

A

TCAS, EGPWS

51
Q

BTC 1 position with Gen 1 fail and APU off

52
Q

BTC 1 portion with Gens 1 fail and APU on

53
Q

What do you do is auto transfer fails with a loss of all generators?

A

Push Essential Power button

54
Q

How do you know if automatic transfer fails with a loss of all generators?

A

Displays still work

55
Q

What does Essential Power button do?

A

Overrides EDL, and makes sure batteries are only powering the essential buses

56
Q

What does SHED BUSES OVRD do?

A

closes shed buses contactor

57
Q

Will SHED BUSES OVRD work in flight?

58
Q

What does BUS TIES OVRD do?

A

Closes BTC’s except in overcurrent

59
Q

When is APU not seen on MFD

A

APU off and less than 10% RPM

60
Q

If airplane will sit for long period what are battery considerations

A

Remove if temps below -15c, and batteries must be removed to recharge if volts are below 19VDC
