Q

describe the operation of a DOL starter, using the circuit diagram

A
  • 440 v enters at L1, L2, L3
  • passes through the isolation switch, CON 1.1, 1.2,1.3, and OL1 to reach terminals A,B,C
  • 440v is tapped off from L1, L2 via FS 1 and 2
  • 440v is converted to 115V by T1
  • 115v travels through FS8, OL1, removable links, stop switch, local start switch, CON1/4 and FS6 back to T1
  • Closing CON 1.1,1.2,1.3 supplying 440v to terminals A,B,C
  • CSR provides the hold path for CON 1 when local start is released
  • stopping the motor is achieved by operating the stop switch

Q

when measuring main V up to 750 volts which two items of GPTME are used?

A
  • fluke 89 and MTI 420
  • to be checked against a known source before and after use
102
Q

what 3 modes dose an emergency DG have?

A
  • automatic
  • manual
    -test
103
Q

explain the operation of an SFC

A
  • frequency changes from 60hz supply to 400 hz to control steering gear, stabilisers and aircraft serving
  • the transformer takes the 440 volt 60hz input and transforms this to DC voltage
  • the smoothing circuit, consisting of capacitors and inductors, produces a smoother
  • the inverter changers DC to AC
  • the filter cleans the wave form and produces a sine wave
