EMER ELEC Panel [Electrical] Flashcards
What is the significance of the red FAULT illuminating on the RAT & EMER
GEN light?
EMER ELEC PWR Panel [Electrical]
- AC BUS1 and AC BUS 2 are lost and the RAT is not supplying electrical power.
When would the red FAULT light on the RAT & EMER GEN light normally
illuminate?
EMER ELEC PWR Panel [Electrical]
- The fault light will illuminate once the RAT is deployed and electrical power is not being supply (approximately eight seconds)
How can the RAT be deployed?
EMER ELEC PWR Panel [Electrical]
- Manually by pushing MAN ON (EMER ELEC PWR Panel) or RAT MAN ON (HYDRAULIC Panel).
- Automatically by the loss of both AC BUS 1 and AC BUS 2
What is the difference between the automatic RAT deployment and manual
RAT deployment by pressing the RAT MAN ON on the HYD panel?
EMER ELEC PWR Panel [Electrical]
RAT MAN ON supplies Blue Hydraulic PSI only, no electrical generation.
After deploying the RAT by pressing the RAT MAN ON pushbutton on the
HYD panel it becomes necessary to also extract electrical power. How can
this be accomplished?
EMER ELEC PWR Panel [Electrical]
By pressing the MAN ON pushbutton on the EMER ELEC PWR.
What does the RAT supply?
EMER ELEC PWR Panel [Electrical]
Blue Hydraulic System pressure and the emergency electrical generator
What would cause the GEN 1 LINE SMOKE light to illuminate?
EMER ELEC PWR Panel [Electrical]
Smoke detectors (particle detectors) in the avionics ventilation ducting
Aside from the GEN 1 LINE SMOKE light, what would be other indications of
avionics smoke?
EMER ELEC PWR Panel [Electrical]
-ECAM warning
-amber FAULT lights in the EXTRACT and BLOWER pb on the ventilation panel.
If the ECAM directs a pilot to select GEN 1 LINE pb sw to OFF, what will be
accomplished?
EMER ELEC PWR Panel [Electrical]
- Gen 1 line contactor opens (white OFF light illuminates)
- AC BUS 1 powered by GEN 2 through the Bus Tie Contactors
- Gen 1 powers one fuel pump directly in each wing tank
