0:42the aircraft electrical system is

0:44comprised of AC and DC Systems the AC

0:48system is three-phase 115 200 volts

0:52and the DC system is 28 volts

0:59the aircraft AC electrical power sources

1:02are two engine driven AC generators one

1:06apu-driven AC generator

1:09an emergency AC generator powered by the

1:12ram air turbine via the blue hydraulic

1:14system and external power

1:18if all other power sources are

1:20inoperative a static inverter will

1:22convert battery DC power into AC power

1:25for limited use

1:30the aircraft DC electrical power is

1:33supplied through two main Transformer

1:35rectifiers or TRS which convert AC power

1:38to 28 volt DC power

1:41the DC system has a backup essential

1:44Transformer rectifier which will power

1:46the essential DC system from the

1:49emergency generator in the event of

1:51failure of the three main generators or

1:54if tr1 and tr2 are faulty

1:58as a backup two batteries can power some

2:01of the DC circuits if all other power

2:03sources are an operative

2:07each of the two engine driven generators

2:10or the Apu generator is capable of

2:13supplying the entire aircraft network if

2:16all three main generators fail the

2:18emergency generator can supply part of

2:21the AC and DC Systems

2:27when there is more than one power source

2:29available the power source chosen to

2:31Supply electrical power depends on its

2:34priority

2:35when operating the engine driven

2:37generators have priority over the Apu

2:40generator and over external power

2:43external power has priority over the Apu

2:46generator when the external power push

2:49button switch is selected on

2:51the emergency generator and batteries

2:53have the lowest priority

3:00the electrical generators are

3:02automatically controlled and monitored

3:04by generator control units or gcus and

3:08external power is controlled by a ground

3:11power control unit or gpcu

3:14the gcus and gpcu determine which power

3:19source takes priority by controlling the

3:21generator line contactors

3:25the electrical control panel is located

3:27on the overhead panel

3:33the emergency electrical power panel is

3:36located on the left side of the overhead

3:38panel

5:52normal electrical components with 200

5:55volts supplying higher load components

5:57such as hydraulic pumps

6:00the engine generators have priority over

6:02all other electrical sources and cannot

6:05be connected in parallel

6:11a third generator driven directly by the

6:14Apu without an integrated Drive produces

6:17the same power as each engine driven

6:19generator
