To power the AC and DC systems when the aircraft is on ground.

Correct! Wrong!

The minimum number of generators required to supply the whole network is:

One engine generator.

Two engine generators.

One engine generator and the EMER GEN.

Correct! Wrong!

During EMER GEN automatic start up sequence:

Red fault light on EMER ELEC PWR Panel will remain on until the EMER GEN reaches its normal output.

The MAN ON p/b must be pushed to extinguish red fault light on the EMER ELEC PWR Panel.

It is not recommended to push the MAN ON p/b to confirm EMER ELEC CONFIG on the EMER ELEC PWR Panel.

Correct! Wrong!

This ECAM ELEC page shows:

GEN 4 pb is set to Off and engine 4 is not running.

GEN 4 pb is set to On and engine 4 is running.

GEN 4 pb is set to Off and engine 4 is running.

Correct! Wrong!

The EMER GEN is powered by a hydraulic system pressurized by an engine driven hydraulic pump. Pressing the LAND RECOVERY p/b switch will:

Normally recover the AC and DC LAND RECOVERY BUSES and the components for approach and landing.

Operate when the gear is extended.

Supply the landing gear.

Correct! Wrong!

According to these indications which AC BUS supplies the ESS TR?

AC 1-2 BUS.

AC ESS.

AC 1-1 BUS.

Correct! Wrong!

With APU GEN and external powers supplying the network:

APU is supplying left side, external power A is supplying the right side.

APU supplies AC ESS only.

APU supplies AC 1-1 and AC 1-2 only.

Correct! Wrong!

Two Electrical Contactor Management Units (ECMU) provide:

Control AC and DC contactors (except for TR contactors).

Control and monitoring AC and DC contactors (except TR which have their own control), galley shedding and no break power transfer.

Control of TR contactors.

Correct! Wrong!

The Emergency generator is powered by:

The GREEN hydraulic system when pressurized by engine 1 or 4 driven hydraulic pump or by a Ram Air Turbine.

The Static Inverter.

A Ram Air Turbine (RAT).

Correct! Wrong!

One function of the Electrical Contactor Management Units (ECMU) is:

Automatic management of contactors.

TR contactors monitoring.

Control of AC and DC bus ties, except TR contactor.

Correct! Wrong!

What is the meaning of this ECAM?

Charging current BAT1 increasing at abnormal rate.

Battery line contactor inoperative.

Abnormal voltage.

Correct! Wrong!

The TR 2 pb is set to OFF

The TR 2 is faulty, then the DC 2 BUS is unpowered.

The TR 2 is faulty, DC 2 BUS is powered by TR 1 through DC 1 and DC BAT BUS.

Correct! Wrong!
