| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How many generators does the CL-65 have? | 4. 2 engine driven gens (IDGS), APU, ADG |
| What is the capacity of the IDGs? | • 40kVA ≤41,000 ft |
| What AC busses are powered from the IDGs? | AC Essential, AC bus 1/2, AC utility 1/2, AC service |
| How does the ac receive DC power? | AC power is converted to 27v DC power by 4 TRUs, or DC external |
| What AC busses are powered from the IDGs? | 4 @ 120 amps |
| What busses are powered by the TRUs? | DC Essential, DC1/2, DC utility 1/2, DC service, DC battery |
| What are the battery capabilities? | APU - 43amp, 24v. Main - 17amp, 24v |
| What busses are powered by the batteries? | L/R Battery Bus, main battery direct bus, APU battery direct bus |
| What does the Main battery provide backup power to? | AHRS, PSEU, APU ECU, DCUs, Clocks, Flt compartment Lighting |
| What is the capacity of the ADG? | 15 Kva |
| What is powered from the ADG? | AC Essential bus through the ADG bus and Hyd 3B (regardless of switch position) |
| If there is a complete loss of AC power (including the ADG), does the aircraft have any power? | Yes. DC Essential, L/R battery bus, APU battery bus, Main battery bus |
| What is the main bus configuration? | External AC COCKPIT: AC Bus 1/2, AC Service, AC Utility 1/2 (WOW/Flaps 0* or WOW/Flaps >0* / Pax door open) |
| What is the service bus configuration? | External AC EXTERNAL: AC Service, AC Utility 1/2 |
| Where is the receptacle for external DC power? | Under right pylon |
| What will be powered when external DC is applied? | Main bat direct bus, APU Battery direct bus, L/R Battery buses |
| Can the batteries be charged with external power? | No |
| How fast does an engine driven generator turn? | 12,000 RPM |
| How does the AC system compensate for the varied engine speeds? | The IDGs convert variable engine speeds to a constant speed of 12,000 RPM and produce AC power. Each IDG uses a constant speed drive to govern and control generator speed. |
| What is indicated by a light on the IDG 1(2) switch light? | FAULT (Amber) - low oil press or high oil temp (>160*c), DISC (White) - IDG disconnect due to over temp or over torque |
| If the white DISC portion of the switch light has illuminated but the switch has not been pressed, can we reset that (with use of the QRH)? | NO |
| If a Generator has de-energized, can the problem be corrected in the air? | Yes, it may be reset once |
| What receives its power directly from AC bus 1? | AC Essential |
| What bus receives its power directly from Gen 1? | AC Bus 1 |
| What will happen if Gen 1 becomes un-powered? | Using generator prioirty system, AC bus 1: APU gen, Gen 2, AC External |
| What will happen if the switching logic doesn’t work? | The FAIL (amber) portion of the AUTO XFER switch light will illuminate indicating a fault, and the AC ESS bus will be powered by AC bus 2 (AC ESS XFER switch light will illuminate). |
| What is indicated if all the busses are powered normally, and the OFF (white) portion of the switch light is lit? | Someone has manually selected the auto-xfer OFF |
| Is AC ESS XFER automatic or manual only? | Automatic |
| How are the generators protected from faults? | GCU - trip off when: Under/over voltage, under/over freq, gen and bus over current |
| Can one generator supply the entire airplanes’ electrical system? | Yes. There will be load shedding of Utility busses if this happens while airborne. (PRM) |
| When is external power displayed on the synoptic page? | Whenit is connected and the voltage is >10v. |
| it is connected and the voltage is >10v. | No |
| What is the PWR TXFR OVERRIDE button for on the lower pedestal? | If normal generator power is regained, power can be transferred from the ADG to the operating generator by pressing the button. |
| When will the ADG deploy? | When there is a complete loss of AC power in flight. |
| What will happen if the ADG fails to deploy automatically? | The pilot can manually deploy via the manual release handle on the lower pedestal. |
| What busses are on the DC system? | DC 1/2, DC Util 1/2, DC Ess, Serv, Batt, Emer, Main batt direct, APU Batt Direct |
| What do the DC tie contactors do? | They ensure reliable and continued operation of the DC system. In the event that TRU 1 fails, DC TIE 1 closes to allow the SERV TRU to power DC bus 1 (UTIL 1 shed). |
| Are the DC ties automatic or manual? | DC tie 1 and 2 are automatic and may be manually closed. ESS tie is a manual only. |
| What will happen if TRU 1 and 2 fail? | DC tie 1 and 2 close to allow the SERV TRU to power DC bus 1 and 2 and SERV bus (UTIL 1 and 2 shed). |
| If ESS TRU 1 fails will a tie close? | No, ESS TRU 2 picks up the load. |
| If both ESS TRUs fail, will the SERV TRU pick up the load automatically? | No, the ESS tie must be manually selected. |
| If Gen 1 tripped OFF due to a fault while airborne and the switching priority failed, what will we see in the cockpit? | AUTO XFER FAIL (Amber), AC ESS XFER (White), DC TIE 1 CLOSED (White) |
| When will the DC synoptic page display green output? | TRUs when the volgage >= 18v. Flow lines when teh TRU is on line and >18V |
| Should the DC EMER bus be displayed at all times? | No, it is only displayed when the bus is not powered as a result of a fault. |
| What is powered from the DC SERVICE switch? | DC Serv bus: Nav, Beacon, cockpit dome light, some lighting in teh cabin |
| When are the battery chargers operational? | Whenever the utility buses are operational |
| When will the battery charges shut down? | Battery fault. Charging >90m. |
