What is the primary source of power for the transfer busses?
Which one of the following is not true about the backup electrical system?
Which one of the following is not true about the flight control DC electrical system?
How can you power the ground handling bus before shutdown if no external power is available?
Which items below are de-powered if you position the BATTERY switch to OFF during power down?
When will the RAT auto-deploy?
What is the correct source order for powering left and right main busses in flight?
The standby inverter converts DC power to AC power. The inverter powers the AC standby bus if the right transfer bus is not powered.
The standby inverter converts DC power to AC power. The inverter powers the AC standby bus if the left transfer bus is not powered.
Which one of the following is not true about the Secondary External Power?
Backup power is provided by one variable speed, variable frequency generator mounted on each engine. A frequency converter converts the generator frequency to a constant 400 Hz. Only one backup generator can power the converter at a time.

How are the busses powered if the right engine is started with the APU powering the left bus system and external power powering the right bus system?
Which one of the following is not true about the ram air turbine (RAT) generator?
Which one of the following is not true about the DC electrical system?
Will the IDG disconnect automatically for high temperature?
Which one of the following is not true about integrated drive generators (IDGs)?
How many main AC power sources are required to maintain the entire plane AC electrical load?
The Electrical Load Management System (ELMS), manages load shed priority (galley first, utility bus second, then selected AC components).
Which one of the following is not true about Electrical Load Management System (ELMS)?
What is the primary power source for 'fly-by-wire'?
During autoland, the busses isolate to allow three independent sources to power the three autopilot. In this case which one of the following is the power source for the right AC transfer bus, the right DC bus, and the first officer's flight instrument bus?

What is the electrical configuration during autoland?
Which of the following is not a main AC electrical power source?
On ground no power connected to the airplane. Which items will be powered if you push the BATTERY switch ON?
The main battery provides standby power to the following:
How many total AC sources of power does the B777 accommodate?
Seven (2 IDG, APU, PRI and SEC external power, 2 BUG).
How can you power the ground handling bus before shutdown if no external power is available?
Which one of the following is not a reason for the backup electrical system to automatically power one or both transfer busses?
What is the source of standby electrical power if the RAT sheds electrical power because of low hydraulic pressure?
Which one of the following is not true about the Primary External Power?
Primary power for the flight control DC electrical system comes from permanent magnet generators (PMGs) housed within each backup generator. Variable frequency PMG AC power is used by individual power supply assemblies (PSAs) to provide DC power to the three flight control DC busses. To ensure a high level of system reliability, each PSA also has multiple AC power sources.
To ensure a high level of system reliability, each PSA also has multiple DC power sources (No AC power!). If primary PMG AC power is not available, secondary power for the left and right PSAs is provided by the related main DC bus. Secondary power for the center PSA is provided by the captain’s flight instrument bus. The hot battery bus provides additional backup power for the left and center PSAs only. Each PSA also uses a dedicated battery to prevent power interruptions to the related flight control DC bus. The batteries have limited capacity and are incorporated to supply power for brief periods during PSA power source transfers.

The standby electrical system consists of:
What provides DC power on the B777?
If the RAT is unable to maintain RPM, the RAT generator electrical load is shed until RPM is satisfactory. Power for standby electrical loads is provided by the main battery during deployment of the RAT and when RAT generator loads are shed.
The RAT is deployed automatically if both AC transfer busses lose power in flight. The RAT can be manually deployed by pushing the RAM AIR TURBINE switch on the overhead panel.
What is the correct electrical panel configuration for normal flight?
Which bus operates only on the ground?
Which one of the following is not true about the APU generator?
Which one of the following is not true about the standby inverter?
What is the secondary source of power for 'fly-by-wire' if one or more PMGs are unpowered?
What is the primary source of standby power if all normal AC and DC power source fail?
Does electric power has priority over hydraulic power from the RAT?
Hydraulic has priority, and if electric is shed, only the CA instrument bus is powered through the main battery

During autoland, the busses isolate to allow three independent sources to power the three autopilots.
The left IDG powers the left AC transfer bus, the left main DC bus, and the captain’s flight instrument bus The right IDG powers the battery bus and AC standby bus through the main battery charger The backup system powers the right AC transfer bus, the right DC bus, and the first officer’s flight instrument bus.
