Q

What is the primary source of standby power during a dual engine failure and APU not working with all normal AC and DC power sources failed?

A

The RAT via C1 and C2 TRUs to the respective CA and FO instrument busses

21
Q

What causes the RAT to extend automatically?

A

-During a dual enginge failure with a loss of Center Hyd press
-Both AC transfer busses unpowered
-All Hyd system pressures low

22
Q

What system does the RAT prioritize electrical or hydraulic? How?

A

It prioritizes the hydraulic system by shedding electrical loads during low hyd pressure situations. Electrical power is supplied to the standby system by the main battery during shedding.

23
Q

Without AC power, what is the source of fuel for an APU start? And with AC power?

A

With no AC power established a dedicated DC pump in left main tank. With AC power established left main tank forward AC pump

24
Q

What batteries are required to start the APU?

A

Both main and APU battery

25
Q

When does the backup AC system test?

A

After engine start

26
Q

During a walkaround, an APU fire is indicated by an intermittent horn and red light on the aft panel of the nose wheel strut. What’s your action?

A

Back up the automatic system by shutting down the APU and discharging bottles.

27
Q

Without external power, what will the APU power upon startup?

A

The entire electrical system.

28
Q

With primary external power on-line and powering the left and right AC buses, what will happen when the APU is started?

A

APU will power the left main AC bus

29
Q

What does the external power AVAIL light indicate?

A

Voltage and Frequency within limits

30
Q

With no other power source, what is powered when the PRIMARY EXT PWR switch is pushed?

A

The entire electrical system

31
Q

Which external power should be connected first?
Why?

A

Primary
because it powers the ground handling bus

32
Q

What is on the ground handling bus?

A
  • Cargo doors handling and lights
  • Potable water servicing
  • Maintenance access lights
33
Q

What is on the ground service bus?

A
  • APU and Main battery chargers
  • left FWD main fuel pump
  • galleys/outlets
34
Q

What happens if in addition to Primary EXT you press the SECONDARY EXT PWR switch to ON?

A

The electrical system is split in half

35
Q

How do ramp personnel know if the External power is in use by the cockpit crew?

A

Exterior panel NOT IN USE light not illuminated

36
Q

How would you disconnect (or reset) the IDG from its main AC bus?

A

Gen control switch off then on

37
Q

If you push the an IDG drive switch, can it be reset?

A

No, MX only function on the ground

38
Q

An EICAS message and ELEC synoptic show the loss of both AC transfer buses. What automatic action will occur?

A

APU will start and RAT will deploy

39
Q

How many backup generators can be used at the same time?

A

One at a time, because there is only one converter for both generators

40
Q

How does the electrical system split the Autopilots during an Autoland operation?

A

The right autopilot electrical power is transferred from the right main AC bus to the right back up generator which powers the right transfer bus which powers the right autopilot

41
Q

What powers the flight control buses if the backup generator PMGs fail?

A

Main DC buses, CA flight instrument bus, Hot batt bus, 1-minute batts during power transfer

42
Q

What is the function of ELMS?

A

For load shedding logic

43
Q

What equipment might be shed?

A

Galleys, outlets, recirc fans, various pumps

44
Q

When would load shed normally occur?

A

With one source of electrical power and high electrical load demand

45
Q

Where can verification of load shed condition be found?

A

ELEC synoptic page

46
Q

If the RAT was deployed, what does it power?

A

C1 and C2 TRUs

47
Q

What uses DC power on the 777?

A
  • PFD
  • ND
  • GPS
  • ADIRU
48
Q

What is PSA and what is each PSA powered by:
- normally?
- backup?

A

PSAs are Power Supply Assemblies for the flight controls and are:
* normally powered by PMGs
* backed up by Main DC buses or Batt Hot bus
