If a single VFG is recovered while the RAT is deployed, the VFG supplies the entire electrical system except for the _____. The RAT continues to supply these two busses.
Correct!
Wrong!
If a second VFG is recovered, the electrical system is powered normally, with the exception that the RAT continues to supply the AC ESS bus and DC ESS 3 bus.
The RAT supplies hydraulic power at speeds as low as _____.
Correct!
Wrong!
Three Transformer Rectifier Units (TRUs) are the primary source of DC power, and are each rated at 350 amperes. The TRUs receive 115 VAC power from the AC busses, convert it to 28 VDC, and distribute it to the DC busses.
Correct!
Wrong!
Engine VFG high oil temperature has two thresholds. When the temperature reaches the first threshold, the amber OIL light comes on in the corresponding switch. When the temperature is at the higher limit threshold, the engine VFG automatically disconnects from the engine accessory gearbox.
Correct!
Wrong!
Power isolation and distribution for the electrical system is managed by Four Electrical Power Centers (EPCs). The EPCs contain the AC and DC busses, the TRUs, the line and bus tie contactors, and most of thermal circuit breakers on the aircraft.
Correct!
Wrong!
If the aircraft is not powered by an external AC source, both batteries are needed to start the APU.
Correct!
Wrong!
If there is a full loss of AC power in-flight, the RAT deploys automatically _____. The flight crew can also manually deploy the RAT with the guarded RAT GEN switch on the overhead ELECTRICAL panel.
Correct!
Wrong!
When the RAT is deployed, the advisory message RAT DPLY is displayed on the EICAS page.
The BATT DIR busses are displayed on the ELEC synoptic page but not on the EICAS.
Correct!
Wrong!
The BATT DIR busses are not displayed on the ELEC synoptic page.
When the L DISC or R DISC guarded switch is pushed, the corresponding VFG disconnects from the gearbox.
Correct!

Each battery charger monitors battery temperature to determine the appropriate charging threshold and inhibits charging if the battery temperature exceeds this threshold.
Correct!
Wrong!
When the EXT PWR switch on the ELECTRICAL panel is pushed, the external power mode is in operation. In external mode, all of the electrical system is powered.
Correct!
Wrong!
Three dedicated Permanent Magnet Alternator/Generators (PMAGs) supply power to two Fly-By-Wire Power Converters (FBWPCs) for the fly-by-wire components.
Correct!
Wrong!
There are two dedicated Permanent Magnet Alternator/Generators (PMAGs)that supply power to two Fly-By-Wire Power Converters (FBWPCs) for the fly-by-wire components.
DC power for the aircraft is supplied by:
Correct!
Wrong!
If only batteries supply the power for more than _____, the 'BATT DISCHARGING' caution message is displayed on the EICAS page. A horn also sounds until AC power is available or batteries are switched off.
Correct!
Wrong!
If there is full loss of AC power, the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) supplies _____. The RAT is stowed in the right side of the wing-to-body fairing near the right main landing gear.
Correct!
Wrong!
There are two identical AC battery chargers in the mid equipment bay.
Correct!
