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

Correct! Wrong!

According to this ECAM ELEC DC page:

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

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

There is no degradation in the capability of DC system.

Correct! Wrong!

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

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

TR contactors monitoring.

Correct! Wrong!

The APU battery:

Is dedicated to APU start only.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.
