BAT (SWITCH)

A 
BAT Switch (OFF) : Removes power from the battery bus and switched hot battery bus when operating with normal power sources available.
Removes power from the battery bus, switched hot battery bus, DC standby Bus, Static inverter and AC standby bus when battery is the only power
BAT Switch (ON) (Guarded Position) : Provides power to the switched hot battery bus
Energizes relays to provide automatic switching of standby electrical system to battery power with loss of normal power

Q

SOURCE OFF (AMBER LIGHT)

A

No source has been manually selected to power the related transfer bus or the manually selected source has been disconnected

Q

GEN (SWITCHES)

A

OFF: Disconnects IDG from the respective AC transfer bus by opening generator circuit breaker
ON: Connects IDC to the respective AC transfer bus by disconnecting previous power source and closing the generator circuit breaker

Q

BUS TRANSFER (SWITCH)

A

Auto (guarded position) :

  • BTB’s operate automatically to maintain power to AC transfer busses from power source.
  • DC cross tie relay automatically provides normal or isolated operation as required

OFF :

  • isolates the AC transfer bus 1 from AC transfer bus 2 if only 1 IDG is supplying power to both AC transfer buses
  • DC cross tie relay opens to isolate the DC bus 1 from DC bus 2

Q

APU GEN (SWITCHES) (OFF)

A

Scenario: APU generator powering both AC transfer buses

  • moving a single APU GEN switch to the OFF illuminates related SOURCE OFF light. APU continues to power both AC transfer busses
  • Subsequently moving the other APU GEN switch to OFF disconnects APU generator from the tie bus and removes APU power from AC transfer buses
  • If 1 APU GEN ON and 1 IDG GEN are powering the AC transfer busses moving the APU GEN OFF will result in the 1 IDG powering both AC transfer busses

Q

APU GEN (SWITCHES) (ON)

A

Scenario: Neither AC transfer bus powered by IDG - moving a single APU GEN switch ON:

  • connects both AC transfer busses to the APU generator
  • disconnects external power, if connected
  • opposite SOURCE OFF light illuminates until the other APU GEN switch is moved to ON

Scenario: Both AC transfer busses powered by IDG’s - moving an APU GEN switch ON:

  • powers the related AC transfer bus from the APU generator
  • other AC transfer bus continues to receive power from the IDG
