What is the meaning of this ECAM?

Charging current BAT1 increasing at abnormal rate.

Battery line contactor inoperative.

Abnormal voltage.

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.

Correct! Wrong!

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

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

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

The other side outer engine generator.

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!

The EMER GEN is powered by a hydraulic system pressurized by an engine driven hydraulic pump. Pressing the LAND RECOVERY p/b switch will:

Operate when the gear is extended.

Normally recover the AC and DC LAND RECOVERY BUSES and the components for approach and landing.

Supply the landing gear.

Correct! Wrong!

During EMER GEN automatic start up sequence:

It is not recommended to push the MAN ON p/b to confirm EMER ELEC CONFIG on the EMER ELEC PWR Panel.

The MAN ON p/b must be pushed to extinguish red fault light 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!

The MAINT BUS switch is located:

On the overhead system panel in the cockpit.

On the Purser's Control Panel in the FWD cabin.

On the FWD Circuit Breaker Panel behind the cockpit.

Correct! Wrong!

When the MAINT BUS switch is on:

It is for the purpose of operating the cargo door only.

The electric network supply is limited to Ground Service items.

Only the DC buses are powered.

Correct! Wrong!

According to these indications:

EXT POWER is plugged, but is not available.

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

EXT POWER is not plugged and APU GEN is connected.

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!

On C/B ECAM page, the pilot reads "NORMAL". What does it mean?

No fault detected in Electronics Equipment Bay.

There are no CB tripped or pulled.

Electric supply to CB is normal.

Correct! Wrong!

Each engine generator supplies power to:

Its assigned AC BUS in normal operation.

Only its assigned BUS in all cases.

The BUS on the opposite side in normal operation.

Correct! Wrong!

This ECAM ELEC page shows:

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

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

GEN 4 pb is set to Off and engine 4 is not running.

Correct! Wrong!

What is the meaning of this ECAM?
