Correct! Wrong!

As shown on this ECAM ELEC page, which BUS is normally supplying the ESS TR?

AC ESS BUS.

AC 2-4.

AC 1-1.

Correct! Wrong!

Loss of one generator or TR (except, if lost is due to over current detection) provides:

Loss of the corresponding AC or DC bus.

APU generator required operational.

Correct! Wrong!

The main function of the MAINT BUS switch is:

To allow selected ground equipment to be powered without powering the entire electric system.

EXT POWER is being plugged and available for use when started.

Correct! Wrong!

In flight, APU not running, an engine generator has failed. What is supplying the corresponding AC BUS?

The other side outer engine generator.

Corresponding AC BUS is not powered. APU must be started to recover AC BUS.

The other generator on the same side as the failed generator.

Correct! Wrong!

An engine generator is driven:

Direct from the Accessory Gear Box (AGB).

By an Integrated Drive Generator (IDG).

At a ratio of 5 to engine speed.

Correct! Wrong!

The APU battery:

Can be used as a backup for BAT 1 or BAT 2.

May be used for engine start when the APU is not available.

Is dedicated to APU start only.

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!

When ECAM shows "ELEC ECMU 1 FAULT":

ECMU 1 controls GLC 1 and 2 and you should not reset corresponding generators.

ECMU 1 controls Generator Line Contactors (GLC 3 and 4) and you should reset generator 3 and 4.

ECMU 1 controls GLC 1 and 2 and you should try to reset corresponding generators.

Correct! Wrong!

The MAINT BUS switch is located:

On the Purser's Control Panel in the FWD cabin.

On the FWD Circuit Breaker Panel behind the cockpit.

On the overhead system panel in the cockpit.

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:

Operate when the gear is extended.

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

Supply the landing gear.

Correct! Wrong!

What is the meaning of this ECAM?

There is a TR overload.

There is an ECMU fault.

There is an engine generator fault.

Correct! Wrong!

According to this ECAM ELEC page:

BAT1 and BAT2 are faulty.

BAT1 and BAT2 are not connected to the DC network.

BAT1 and BAT2 are supplying the DC network and discharge current is 40 A.

Correct! Wrong!

What is the meaning of this ECAM?

Battery line contactor inoperative.

Charging current BAT1 increasing at abnormal rate.

Abnormal voltage.

Correct! Wrong!

According to this ECAM ELEC page:

APU GEN pb is set to Off.

APU GEN is failed.

APU is not running.

Correct! Wrong!

With APU GEN and external powers supplying the network:

APU supplies AC ESS only.

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

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

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!

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.
