When both generators fail - battery supplies for 30 min in flight. battery cutoff light comes on.
pico fuse -
remote control circuit breaker - 10A-100A. indicator control unit, manually resetable when tripped.
Bilateral thermall indicating device - current measure to the the RCCB to pop or not. (latch type)
Shunt measures the current to trip the relay with the CB for reset purpposes - Non latching type.
Simplified Battery feeder fault protection system - current transformers dectects the current of the system. if one of the transformers detect that the current is abnormal, fault relay trips, therefore tripping the battery relay. Battery FDR light comes on. Reset the system by turning it off and on again.
Lead Acid battery installation - 24VDC 40AMP/HR
battery feed test - ct gives out current to interferre to deliberately unbalance the current flow to test if the feeder protection system trips.
battery FDR CB out, Emergency bus feeder RCCB tripped and when the FDR is operating = FDR Lt on.
starter gen - 400amp, 28VDC. limited to 280A due to decrease cooling airflow. Magnetic pickup to the Generator control unit.
Terminal block :
B + positive
E - Negative
A Shunt field
D Interpole sense Radio noise filter
Shear section protects the starter generator by shearing the s3haft off at abnormal conditions.
1000hrs overhaul the starter and inspection and ground run needs to be performed. 1/4inch of the brush mark left, the starter brush needs to be removed from service and replaced.
simplified generator field control system: detects the start gen's current by the field power amp, adjustments is measured by the shunt field winding. Reset is possible at the field power amp.
Line contactor control system - Engine start control relay is energized during engine start ---> Gen control --> gen relay, Main bus.
if the transformers at the main junction box detects abnormal current, genrator control unit trips to protect the system.
Remember to torque the nuts on the interpoles.
at N2 35-40%RPM, GCU automatically cuts off current through to the starter generator @ normal position of the S.Gen switch.
shunt measures the current of the system --->positive and negative at the instrument cluster.
Middle of the switch would be viewing the battery voltage.
left Gen would be viewing the left generator voltage.
Right Gen would be viewing the right generator voltage.
External power - Receptacle - battery feeder protection system
- External power RCCB --->overvolt detector with the sensor --> overvoltage switch module -> at normal operating --> external power relay --> therefore sending current to start bus.
if the left and right generator are on line, external power unit can not be used. therefore the geneator switches must be in the off position.
When start with the External power unit - both external power and the battery feeds through to the main bus. since the external power does not have its own switch on the 400xp model.
3 RCCB if left one fails, warning light left FDR fail illuminates.
SDU no.2 feeds on the left radio bus.
toggle switch - acts as a cb but it pops right out.
Non essential bus - left and right load shed from generators and relays to for example, Galley power.
emergency bus - emergency power relay - copilot stby radio, cvr, nav no 1, aural warn, sdu no1, copilot, flt data recorder, emergency warning light, thrust reverser, emergency landing gear, emergency stall, flood light, trim warning, landing gear safety switch, fire bell, oxygen control, door seal, hyd shutoff valves, fire extinguisher, turbines, rpm indicator, ignition, fuel shutoff valves, fdr.
standby power battery - 50 amp/hr. heating resister heats up and tests the protection capability of the system.
cell test can be done on the standby power battery with each individual cell. 24 above is normal. PS- 835D (series)
oil pressure and flap degrees indicator --- alternating current
no.1 inverter --- primary bus
no.2 inverter --- secondary bus also act as an emergency if no.1 fails.
Chapter 23 - Communication
Radio Tuning Unit - Frequency controller = ATC Identify, DME, Com, ADF Test (Bearing swing 90 and audible 1KHZ ) deg, star on the display automatically returns to pre line when no commands been given. ATC STBY (on/off) DME HOLD would keep the current DME frequency before adjusting to another frequency when the button is pressed on. Com preset key - Com frequency can be set before use.
