Correct! Wrong!

According to these indications which AC BUS supplies the ESS TR?

AC 1-1 BUS.

AC ESS.

AC 1-2 BUS.

Correct! Wrong!

What is the meaning of this ECAM?

Abnormal voltage.

Charging current BAT1 increasing at abnormal rate.

Battery line contactor inoperative.

Correct! Wrong!

What is the meaning of this ECAM?

There is a TR overload.

There is an engine generator fault.

There is an ECMU fault.

Correct! Wrong!

The MAINT BUS switch is located:

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

On the FWD Circuit Breaker Panel behind the cockpit.

On the overhead system panel in the cockpit.

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 ESS only.

APU supplies AC 1-1 and AC 1-2 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.

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!

Each engine generator supplies power to:

Its assigned AC BUS in normal operation.

The BUS on the opposite side in normal operation.

Only its assigned BUS in all cases.

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.

It is not recommended to push the MAN ON p/b to confirm EMER ELEC CONFIG on the EMER ELEC PWR Panel.

The MAN ON p/b must be pushed to extinguish red fault light on the EMER ELEC PWR Panel.

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!

The Emergency generator is powered by:

The Static Inverter.

A Ram Air Turbine (RAT).

The GREEN hydraulic system when pressurized by engine 1 or 4 driven hydraulic pump or by a Ram Air Turbine.

Correct! Wrong!

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

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

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 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!

This ECAM ELEC page shows:

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

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.

Correct! Wrong!
