A Ram Air Turbine (RAT).

Correct! Wrong!

The APU battery:

Is dedicated to APU start only.

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

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

Correct! Wrong!

Loss of one generator or TR (except, if lost is due to over current detection) provides:

APU generator required operational.

No effects on flight management.

Loss of the corresponding AC or DC bus.

Correct! Wrong!

The minimum number of generators required to supply the whole network is:

One engine generator.

Two engine generators.

One engine generator and the EMER GEN.

Correct! Wrong!

When ECAM shows "ELEC ECMU 1 FAULT":

ECMU 1 controls Generator Line Contactors (GLC 3 and 4) and you should reset generator 3 and 4.

ECMU 1 controls GLC 1 and 2 and you should try to reset corresponding generators.

ECMU 1 controls GLC 1 and 2 and you should not reset corresponding generators.

Correct! Wrong!

According to this ECAM ELEC DC page:

There is no degradation in the capability of DC system.

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

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

Correct! Wrong!

With APU GEN and external powers supplying the network:

APU is supplying left side, external power A is supplying the right side.

APU supplies AC 1-1 and AC 1-2 only.

APU supplies AC ESS only.

Correct! Wrong!

During EMER GEN automatic start up sequence:

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.

Red fault light on EMER ELEC PWR Panel will remain on until the EMER GEN reaches its normal output.

Correct! Wrong!

According to these indications which AC BUS supplies the ESS TR?

AC 1-2 BUS.

AC ESS.

AC 1-1 BUS.

Correct! Wrong!

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