Starter Generator
The
starter
generator
is
the main electrical power source. It only performs its
generator function when starting sequence is completed.
Generator connection with main bus bar is controlled through the GENERATOR
selector set to MAIN. It will be effective when connection conditions are met.
Generator connection is indicated by
MAIN GEN disappearance.
NOTE
Starter generator will not supply the airplane if the SOURCE selector is on
GPU.
On ground, generator load should be maintained below 200 A.
Standby Generator
The
standby
generator
supplies
a 28-volt standby direct current which may be
used in case of main generator failure.
Generator connection with main bus bar is controlled through the GENERATOR
selector set to ST-BY. It will be effective when connection conditions are met.
NOTE
The standby generator will not supply the airplane if the SOURCE selector is
on GPU.
In order to prevent possible errors during flight, access to ST-BY position
requires a double action from the pilot (pull to unlock). On ground, avoid using
the standby generator at full load.
Battery
The battery provides the
power required for starting when no ground power unit is
available and is a power supply source when engine driven generators are
stopped.
The battery is always connected to the BATT BUS bar except when the crash
lever is pulled down.
Battery connection to main bus bar is controlled through the SOURCE selector set
to BATT.
BAT OFF is displayed in the CAS window when the battery is isolated from the
main bus and when main bus is supplied through another source.
