ELECTRICAL POWER Original Issue: Feb, 2002
GENERAL
The airplane utilizes both DC and AC systems with emergency systems available for certain instrument
and avionics requirements. The 28 VDC system uses a tied-busbar powered from engine driven starter/
generators and backed-up by batteries. A third starter/generator driven from the Auxiliary Power Unit (if
installed) is also available.
Power from the engine-driven generators and the APU generator is distributed by two essential busbar
systems, PS1 and PS2. In normal flight conditions the two PS busbars are tied in parallel by a bus tie
controlled by a BUS TIE switch, selected to CLOSE. Each generator circuit contains a voltage regulator
which stabilizes the busbars at 28 0.75 VDC. With a generator on line, selecting the BUS TIE switch
to CLOSE connects the two PS busbars in parallel. A start busbar links the start power source (either
the ground supply contactor or the internal start contactor) with the individual engine 1 and 2 start
contactor or the APU start contactor. AC power is supplied through two systems, one using inverters,
the other engine driven alternators.
CONTROLS and INDICATIONS
EXTERNAL POWER
A standard three pin 28 VDC external power receptacle is located at the right rear fuselage. For external
starts, a ground power unit capable of supplying 28 VDC with a minimum output of 42 kW (short term
capability of 28 VDC x 1500 AMPS) and having a limiter operating at 1100 AMPS must be used.
Overhead Roof Panel
EXT PWR
ON
OFF
External Ground Power Receptacle
External power is connected to the airplane busbars through a ground power contactor. Contactor
operation is controlled by the EXT PWR switch supplied from the third pin of the external power
receptacle. With external power available and the EXT PWR switch ON and the EXT BATT CHG switch
OFF, the No. 1 and No. 2 batteries are disconnected from the busbars. Selecting the BATT switch to ON
has no effect.

Revision A1: Nov, 2002 ELECTRICAL POWER
CAUTION: NO. 1 BATTERY MAY BE EXCESSIVELY DISCHARGED AND DAMAGED IF THE ROOF
SWITCH ON PANEL DA AND THE ENTRY LIGHT SWITCH ON THE FORWARD CABIN
BULKHEAD ARE LEFT ON FOR LONG PERIODS WHILE EXTERNAL POWER IS APPLIED.
THE VESTIBULE ROOF LIGHT AND THE ENTRY LIGHT ARE CONNECTED VIA THEIR
SWITCHES DIRECTLY TO NO. 1 BATTERY AND WILL COME ON IRRESPECTIVE OF THE
POSITION OF THE EXT PWR, EXT BATT CHG OR BATT SWITCHES.
With the EXT BATT CHG switch ON, each battery is connected to its associated busbar (PS1 and PS2)
and charged from the external power supply. The external power cannot be paralleled with the airplane
generators.
BATTERY SUPPLIES
Two 24 VDC, 28 ampere-hour sealed lead acid main batteries, No. 1 and No. 2, are located in the rear
equipment bay. These batteries provide internal power for engine starting and also maintain essential
services in the event of a double generator failure.
NOTE: When the correct emergency drill is carried out together with prompt shedding of non-
essential loads, the batteries can maintain essential services for a minimum of 60 minutes.
In addition to the main battery supplies, three 24 VDC 4 ampere-hour sealed lead acid batteries Nos.
3, 4 and 5 are located in the rear equipment bay. These batteries provide electrical power for the
emergency lighting and essential services during emergency conditions.
Also, one 24 VDC 4 ampere-hour sealed lead acid battery No. 6 is located in the avionics shelf of the
aft cabin. This battery provides electrical power to the Electronic Standby Instrument System (ESIS) in
the event of a double generator failure and the output of the PE busbar being less than 21 VDC.
AMMETERS
Two ammeters are provided in the flight compartment on the overhead roof panel and provide generator
load and battery charge current. Display selection is by operation of push switches labelled AMPS BATT
and 0-40, located between the ammeters. The scale of 0-450A has a yellow segment from 300 to 400A,
and a red segment from 400 to 450A. Each ammeter normally indicates its related generator load.
When the AMPS BATT switch is operated, the battery charge currents are displayed.
If a low charge current (below 40A) cannot easily be read, the 0-40 push switch may also be operated
to select an ammeter range of 0-40A. Release of both switches will revert the ammeter displays to their
respective generator loads on the 0-450A scales.

ENGINE START USING EXTERNAL POWER
Selecting the EXT PWR switch to ON with a suitable external power supply unit will energize all busbars
including the start busbar providing that internal start power has not been previously selected.
Operation of the START PWR push switch illuminates the PWR ON/PUSH FOR ABORT annunciator
and brings the start circuit to a state of readiness for ENGINE START switch selection. This push switch
operation also inhibits an internal start.
A warning horn will sound if the switch is operated and the LANDING GEAR selector is not in the down

NOTES:
1. No. 1 avionics and other essential loads should only be used prior to engine starting.
2. No. 2 engine is started first and then its generator is used as detailed below.
At ENGINE START switch operation (ENG 1 or 2) the Generator Control Unit (GCU) initiates the start
cycle. Illumination of the OPERATING annunciator indicates completion of the start hold-on circuit,
allowing release of the ENGINE START switch.
With the start busbar connected to the starter/generator, the engine motors. When N2 RPM reaches
10% or more and N1 is indicating, the HP cock is selected open to supply fuel to the engine and also
energizes the igniter unit through the HP cock microswitch.
As the engine reaches self sustaining speed, the GCU initiates a start cut-off sequence. At cut-off, the
OPERATING annunciator extinguishes.
ABORT START
The starting sequence may be aborted at any time by a second operation of the START PWR switch.
This initiates a start cut-off sequence by removing the supply to the GCU and extinguishes the PWR
ON PUSH FOR ABORT and OPERATING annunciators.

DC POWER GENERATION
Two 28 VDC starter/generators, one driven from each engine, serve as the primary source of power for
the airplane. The generators are self-exciting and each produce a rated power output of 9 kW when the
engine reaches self-sustaining speed. A third starter/generator, driven from the APU (if installed) is also
available. The output voltage of each generator is stabilized by an associated generator control unit
(GCU). The GCUs provide load equalization when the generator outputs are paralleled.
For engine starting, the generator operates as a starter motor powered by a 28 VDC ground supply, or
by the airplane main batteries connected in parallel. At starter cut-off, the generator control unit (GCU)
voltage regulator assumes control of the starter/generator field. Provided the quality of generator output
is satisfactory, an output from the GCU will close the generator line contactor (GLC) connecting the
generator to its associated busbar (PS1 or PS2). When the GLC closes, the related GEN FAIL
annunciator extinguishes.
NOTES:
1. Closure of the GLC is inhibited when busbar voltage is higher than generated voltage
and when EXT POWER is ON.
2. Should the generator have been previously tripped manually, it will require to be man-
ually reset.

In the event of reverse current, overvoltage, or over excitation faults being detected, the GCU will signal
the GLC to open, thereby removing the faulty system from the busbars and illuminating the relevant
GEN FAIL annunciator.
NOTE: An attempt to reinstate an off-line generator can be made using the GEN CLOSE-TRIP
switch.
SINGLE GENERATOR FAILURE (Figure 6)

A faulty generator may be tripped off-line automatically by its GCU, or by operation of the GEN CLOSE-
TRIP switch to the momentary TRIP position. With the unserviceable generator off-line, operating the
BUS TIE switch to CLOSE closes the BUS TIE contactor so that the serviceable generator feeds
busbars PS1 and PS2 as well as PE.
DOUBLE GENERATOR FAILURE (Figure 7)

Following a double generator failure, both generator contactors open. Both battery contactors also open
to prevent the batteries from powering the non-essential loads on PS1 and PS2 busbars.
The following annunciators will illuminate.
