Correct! Wrong!

The MAINT BUS switch is located:

On the overhead system panel in the cockpit.

On the FWD Circuit Breaker Panel behind the cockpit.

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

Correct! Wrong!

The main function of the MAINT BUS switch is:

To allow selected ground equipment to be powered without powering the entire electric system.

To power the AC and DC systems when the aircraft is on ground.

To allow EXT PWR to supply AC and DC ESS buses and their respective shed buses.

Correct! Wrong!

What is the meaning of this ECAM?

There is a TR overload.

There is an ECMU fault.

There is an engine generator fault.

Correct! Wrong!

The minimum number of generators required to supply the whole network is:

Two engine generators.

One engine generator.

One engine generator and the EMER GEN.

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 is faulty, then the DC 2 BUS is unpowered.

The TR 2 pb is set to OFF

Correct! Wrong!

Each engine generator supplies power to:

Only its assigned BUS in all cases.

The BUS on the opposite side in normal operation.

Its assigned AC BUS in normal operation.

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!

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

Loss of the corresponding AC or DC bus.

APU generator required operational.

No effects on flight management.

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 Off and engine 4 is not running.

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

Correct! Wrong!
