1

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?

A

no

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?

closes

52
Q

BTC 1 portion with Gens 1 fail and APU on

A

opens

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?
