BAT1 and BAT2 are not connected to the DC network.

Correct! Wrong!

According to this ECAM ELEC page:

APU GEN pb is set to Off.

APU is not running.

APU GEN is failed.

Correct! Wrong!

The APU battery:

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

Is dedicated to APU start only.

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

Correct! Wrong!

According to this ECAM ELEC DC page:

There is no degradation in the capability of DC system.

The Static Inverter is being powered because TR 1 is not powered.

The BAT 2 is discharging at a rate of 4 A.

Correct! Wrong!

According to these indications:

EXT POWER is plugged, but is not available.

EXT POWER is not plugged and APU GEN is connected.

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

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!

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

The other side outer engine generator.

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

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

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!

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.

A Ram Air Turbine (RAT).

The Static Inverter.

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!

What is the meaning of this ECAM?

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

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.

Correct! Wrong!

The main function of the MAINT BUS switch is:

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

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

To allow EXT PWR to supply AC and DC ESS buses and their respective shed buses.

Correct! Wrong!

Each engine generator supplies power to:

Its assigned AC BUS in normal operation.

The BUS on the opposite side in normal operation.

Only its assigned BUS in all cases.
