SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

General

The electrical system provides 28 Volt DC to the majority of electrical services. A starter/generator on each engine provides the main DC power, supplemented by two 24 Volt nickel-cadmium batteries. Two transformer-rectifier units (TRU's) convert 115 Volt AC power into 28 Volt DC for backup and load sharing purposes. A DC external power receptacle provides an input for an external power source. In normal conditions the DC generators are not working in parallel. AC power is provided by two engine driven AC generators and three solid-state static inverters. The AC generators provide three phase, 115 Volt, variable frequency AC and never work in parallel. The static inverters provide single phase, 115 Volt, 400 Hz AC, mainly for avionics usage. A bus bar system distributes the current throughout the aircraft. The bus bar protection unit (BBPU) controls contactors to link and protect the buses in non-normal conditions. DC Power

Batteries and essential buses

Both batteries (main and aux) have a 40 Amp hour capacity and power their respective battery buses. When the BATTERY MASTER switch is selected ON, both batteries feed their onside essential bus. As the essential buses are paralleled through the bus tie circuit breaker, both buses will be powered from either battery in normal situations. The main battery can be connected directly to the right main feeder bus by selecting the MAIN BATT switch ON. This provides power for engine start and, once an engine is running and its generator has come on line, charging capacity for the main battery. The auxiliary battery does not deliver power to the main busses, only to its battery bus and the essential buses. Switching the AUX BATT switch ON enables charging of the auxiliary battery from the left main feeder bus. Engine-driven generators and main feeder buses

The starter/generator mounted on the accessory gearbox of each engine, serves as a starter motor and converts to a generator after attaining operational speed. Each generator output is monitored and controlled by its generator control unit (GCU). After engine start, the GCU will monitor the generator output and maintain 28 Volt DC. Variation of engine speed and electrical loads will have no influence on voltage. In normal operation GEN 1 powers the left main feeder bus, GEN 2 normally powers the right main feeder bus. The main busses provide power to the essential buses directly, charge the main and aux batteries and are a backup power source to the secondary buses in non-normal situations.

Transformer Rectifier Units (TRU’s) and secondary feeder buses

Each TRU receives three phase, 115 Volt, variable frequency AC input power and converts it to 28 Volt DC output. The number 1 and number 2 TRU’s power the left and right secondary feeder buses respectively. A TRU powers its onside secondary feeder bus when its output voltage exceeds 18 Volt DC, and disconnects power when the voltage drops below 18 Volt DC. NOTE: The TRU output voltage can fluctuate between 25.0 and 29.5 Volt depending on

secondary feeder bus load. Automatic bus tie operation

Four bus tie relays, consisting of a main bus tie, a secondary bus tie and two main/secondary bus ties are automatically controlled by the DC logic incorporated in the bus bar protection unit (BBPU). The BBPU connects buses when power sources fail, and inhibits contact being made if a bus fault occurs. If a DC generator fails, the main DC bus tie contactor closes connecting the main buses. If a TRU fails the secondary bus tie closes connecting the secondary buses. If both DC generators fail, the left and right bus tie contactors close connecting the secondary buses to the main buses. The TRU’s can now maintain DC voltage to the buses. If both TRU’s fail, similarly the left and right bus tie contactors close and the DC generators continue to supply the secondary buses. Bus fault operation

The bus bar protection unit provides the starter/generators and batteries with automatic protection from a bus fault and overload. It also monitors the GCU's for any over-current conditions. If a bus fault occurs, the BBPU opens and inhibits the main bus tie and the main/secondary bus tie contactors. They are prevented from closing to ensure the bus fault is isolated. The DC BUS caution light now illuminates. If the fault persists longer than 7 to 10 seconds, an over current may have occurred from the generator supplying the bus and it will automatically shut down. The battery connected to this bus will be isolated. The MAIN BATTERY or AUX BATTERY caution light and related DC GEN caution light will illuminate and all services on the faulty bus will be lost. The caution lights associated with these services will also illuminate. The BBPU continues to monitor the operating buses.

NOTE: Manual operation of the main bus tie through the MAIN BUS TIE switch is

inhibited once the BBPU has reacted to a fault. An attempt to restore power from the other bus may be made by momentary selecting the bus fault reset switch to BUS FAULT RESET. This rearms the BBPU.

CAUTION: Affected battery and generator should be selected OFF.

DC external power

The external power receptacle provides a DC input for an external power source, which can be used instead of the batteries for starting the engines. With external power plugged in and supplying DC power, the BATTERY MASTER and EXTERNAL POWER switch must be selected ON. The external power advisory light illuminates, the main feeder and essential buses receive DC power. However the generators are inhibited from coming on line. This has no effect on the starter mode sequence. A fault in the external power source will disconnect it from the airplane electrical system. If the fault clears the external power source can be re-selected by selecting the external power switch OFF then to ON. To prevent any power interruption when the external power source is unplugged from the receptacle, the BATTERY MASTER, MAIN BATT and AUX BATT switches must be selected ON. DC system operation

The engines can be started using the batteries. Selecting the BATTERY MASTER switch ON powers the essential buses that energizes limited DC equipment and the static inverters for 115 volts and 26 volts AC 400 Hz buses. The main and auxiliary battery switches are selected to MAIN BATT and AUX BATT. The right main bus is now powered, and all bus tie contactors are open. After the first engine starts and the generator switch is selected ON, the main bus tie contactor closes and the generator powers left and right main buses. After the second engine starts and its generator is selected ON, the main bus tie contactor opens. Both contactors connecting the main buses to the secondary buses close. All DC and fixed frequency AC buses are now energized. Battery temperature monitor

The battery temperature monitor continuously displays main and auxiliary battery temperatures, and overheat warnings from sensors on each battery. A three position test switch provides simulated overheat and short circuit conditions for operational checks.

AC Power

General

There are two types of AC power in the electrical system, the variable frequency AC and fixed frequency AC. The variable frequency AC system can be powered by an external power source. Variable frequency AC

Variable frequency AC power is supplied by two AC generators, which provide power for anti-icing heaters, electric pumps and to power the TRU’s. Each GCU controls its respective generator, which provides 115 ± 2.8 Volt AC to the A, B and C phase, variable frequency buses. A low bus voltage (below 90 Volt) indicates a faulty bus, and illuminates the associated AC BUS caution light. A bus voltage exceeding 125 Volt causes the associated generator to be shut down. During normal operation a bus tie contactor separates the left and right side buses. In the event of a generator failure, the bus tie closes automatically allowing the operating generator to maintain AC power to left and right side variable frequency buses. An external power receptacle provides input for an external ground power source. AC control

With one AC generator switch selected ON and its generator providing 115 volts AC, the bus tie contactor connecting the left and right variable frequency buses closes. Both buses are now powered from one AC generator. As the other generator also comes on line the bus tie contactor opens, and the left and right variable frequency buses are now powered independently from their respective AC generators. AC external power

The AC external power receptacle, located on the lower inboard side of the number 2 engine cowling, makes the use of an AC external power source possible. An external power switch controls the power to the variable frequency buses. When selected to EXT POWER, contactors operating in conjunction with the bus tie connect the power source directly to the left and right variable frequency buses. An external power advisory light illuminates when external power is plugged into the receptacle, and the EXT POWER switch is selected ON. A protection unit monitors the external power source for faults (abnormal voltage, current or phase sequence). If a malfunction is detected, the unit switches the external power system off and the advisory light will go out.

Fixed frequency AC power

Three solid-state static inverters, primary, secondary and auxiliary, supply 115 Volt and 26 Volt AC, 400 Hz to the 115 Volt AC buses. The buses then supply navigation- and communication equipment and certain flight- and engine instruments. The inverter outputs operate in parallel. The auxiliary inverter may be selected to L or R to supply either bus in normal operation. Input to each inverter is 28 Volt DC. The left essential bus powers the primary inverter, the right essential bus powers the secondary inverter and the left main bus powers the auxiliary inverter. The primary and secondary inverters supply 115 Volt AC through the paralleling control box to the left and right 115 Volt AC buses respectively. A bus tie circuit breaker connects the two buses together. The 26 Volt AC buses each receive power from a step-down transformer, which is powered by the respective 115 Volt AC bus. Inverter control

With the essential buses and left main bus powered, and the inverter switches selected to PRIMARY, L and SECONDARY, each inverter generates 115 Volt AC 400 Hz single phase. The paralleling control box synchronizes the 400 Hz, and applies the 115 Volt AC from the three inverters in parallel to the left and right 115 Volt AC buses. 12-06.2.4. DC Power distribution

NON-NORMAL INDICATIONS AND OPERATION

Engine driven generator

If a malfunction should occur to a DC generator, the GCU will shut the generator down. However, the bus voltage will not be affected, as the operating generator will now supply power to both buses as the main bus tie contactor closes. If a generator trips off line, it can be reset by selecting the generator control switch to OFF, then back to ON. When a generator is offline either by GCU action or its control switch, the associated #1 DC GEN or #2 DC GEN caution light illuminates. During flight a generator can overheat, which is indicated by the #1 DC GEN HOT or #2 DC GEN HOT caution light illuminating. The associated generator should be switched OFF until the caution light goes out. The generator can then be selected ON and caution light monitored. Transformer Rectifier Units (TRU’s)

If a TRU goes off line, its associated L TRU or R TRU caution light illuminates. If a TRU overheats, the associated L TRU HOT or R TRU HOT caution light illuminates. When the TRU cools below a predetermined value, the light goes out. 1Battery temperature

If the MAIN BAT HOT or AUX BAT HOT warning light illuminates, the associated battery has exceeded 65�C. The related battery switch should then be selected OFF. When the battery temperature decreases below 65�C, the respective light will go out. AC control

If a generator output exceeds 125 Volt AC, the generator will shutdown. The #1 AC GEN or #2 AC GEN caution light illuminates and the bus tie contactor closes to maintain 115 Volt AC to both variable frequency buses. An attempt may be made to reset the generator by selecting the switch to OFF then back to ON. If the caution light remains ON, the generator switch should be selected OFF. If the L AC BUS or R AC BUS caution light illuminates, due to an under voltage or bus short circuit, the GCU isolates the faulty bus from its generator. The GCU also inhibits the bus tie contactor and prevents it from closing, thereby isolating the faulty bus from the serviceable side. If the bus fault is subsequently cleared, the associated generator resumes power to the bus. Illumination of the #1 AC GEN HOT or #2 AC GEN HOT caution light indicates an overheated generator. The associated generator switch must be selected OFF until the light goes out. If the generator is re-selected ON and the caution light illuminates again, the generator should be selected OFF for the remainder of the flight.

Inverter control

If a primary, auxiliary or secondary inverter fails, the paralleling control box disconnects the inverter and signals the warning control box to turn ON the appropriate PRI INV, AUX INV or SEC INV caution light. The two operating inverters maintain AC power. If a second inverter fails, the operating inverter maintains the AC power, however, the load must be carefully monitored. The switch of a failed inverter must be selected OFF. A bus fault or transformer failure, causes the L 26 AC or R 26 AC caution light to illuminate. The bus tie circuit breaker connecting the left and right 115 Volt AC buses, opens to isolate the faulty bus. The inverter(s) connected to the faulty bus may subsequently fail if the fault persists and should therefore be selected OFF or switched to the non-faulted side. If a bus fault occurs to the 115 Volt AC bus, and the bus tiebreaker opens, the associated 26 Volt AC transformer and its bus will also lose power. All services powered by these two buses will be lost. Warning lights
