What position must the STBY BATT switch be in for the system to automatically provide standby power to the ESS BUS in the event of an emergency?

OFF

TEST

ARM

Where are the alternator current, standby battery current, and main bus voltage displayed?

ACU

Standby Battery Panel

Engine Indication System (EIS)

Main Voltmeter

What is the purpose of the X-FEED BUS?

Allow power to flow from either ELEC BUS 1 or ELEC BUS 2 to the ESS BUS

Ensure power is available from either ELEC BUS 1 or ELEC BUS 2 to both AVN BUS 1 and AVN BUS 2

Allow power to crossfeed from one primary bus to the other

Ensure power is available from either ELEC BUS 1 or ELEC BUS 2 for the ALT FIELD and WARN circuits

What switches must be ON for the MFD to have power?

BAT MASTER and ALT MASTER

BAT MASTER and STBY BATT ARM

BAT MASTER only

BAT MASTER and AVIONICS BUS 2

If the ALT FIELD circuit breaker trips offline during flight, where does electrical power come from to power all the systems?

EXTERNAL POWER

BATTERY

ALTERNATOR

STANDBY BATTERY

If the AVN 1 circuit breaker trips offline causing the AVN BUS 1 to lose power, do the ADC/AHRS systems lose power and shutdown?

What are you talking about?

Yes, because they are powered from AVN BUS 1

No, because they also receive power from ESS BUS

No, because they receive power from AVN BUS 2

If all systems are operating normally, how is power provided the ESS BUS?

From X-FEED BUS

From ELEC BUS 1

From ELEC BUS 2

From ELEC BUS 1 and ELEC BUS 2

What switch must be turned ON in order to allow battery voltage to the ELEC BUS 1 and ELEC BUS 2?

AVIONICS BUS 1 / AVIONICS BUS 2

STBY BATT ARM

BAT MASTER

ALT MASTER

What provides power to the ESSENTIAL BUS (ESS BUS) in the event that both FEEDER A and FEEDER B circuit breakers trip offline?
