Correct! Wrong!

The APU battery:

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

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

Is dedicated to APU start only.

Correct! Wrong!

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

APU generator required operational.

Loss of the corresponding AC or DC bus.

No effects on flight management.

Correct! Wrong!

What is the meaning of this ECAM?

Abnormal voltage.

Charging current BAT1 increasing at abnormal rate.

Battery line contactor inoperative.

Correct! Wrong!

When ECAM shows "ELEC ECMU 1 FAULT":

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

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 not reset corresponding generators.

Correct! Wrong!

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!

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

The other side outer engine generator.

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.

Correct! Wrong!

During EMER GEN automatic start up sequence:
