Direct from the Accessory Gear Box (AGB).

Correct! Wrong!

Two Electrical Contactor Management Units (ECMU) provide:

Control AC and DC contactors (except for TR contactors).

Control and monitoring AC and DC contactors (except TR which have their own control), galley shedding and no break power transfer.

AC 2-4.

Correct! Wrong!

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

Loss of the corresponding AC or DC bus.

No effects on flight management.

APU generator required operational.

Correct! Wrong!

One function of the Electrical Contactor Management Units (ECMU) is:

Control of AC and DC bus ties, except TR contactor.

Automatic management of contactors.

TR contactors monitoring.

Correct! Wrong!

When the MAINT BUS switch is on:

The electric network supply is limited to Ground Service items.

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

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!

What is the meaning of this ECAM?

BAT 2 is faulty.

TR 2 is faulty.

DC 2 BUS is not powered due to a short circuit.

Correct! Wrong!

The TR 2 is faulty, DC 2 BUS is powered by TR 1 through DC 1 and DC BAT BUS.

The TR 2 pb is set to OFF

The TR 2 is faulty, then the DC 2 BUS is unpowered.

Correct! Wrong!

During EMER GEN automatic start up sequence:

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

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.

Correct! Wrong!

According to this ECAM ELEC page:

BAT1 and BAT2 are not connected to the DC network.
