UNIT 5. ELECTRICAL POWER
Primary DC power is supplied to the DC busses through transformer rectifier
units which are powered from the AC. TR-3 receives power from main bus 2 and
has a dual function. It is the primary power source for the battery bus and an alternate power source for both DC buss es 1 and 2. TR-2 is also a backup po wer
source for DC bus No.1 and TR-1 is also a backup power source for DC bus
No.2. The TR-3 disconnect relay automatically opens at glide slope capture. This
isolates the DC buss es during approa ch in orde r to prevent a s ingle failure fro m
effecting both navigation receivers and flight control computers. The TR-3 disconnect relay can be opened manually for smoke procedure with the BUS
TRANSFER SWITCH in OFF position. TR voltage range is 24 - 30 V. The battery bus has two possible sources of power: the battery or battery charger
through the hot battery bus or from TR-3. Under normal operating conditions, a
relay controlled by the battery switch connects th e TR-3 to the battery bus. If
TR-3 should fail the battery bus will automatically seek its power source from
the hot battery bus. Placing the Battery switch to OFF removes the ground for
the controlling relays and will cause the battery bus to lose power unless the
electrical standby power switch is in BAT position. With the electrical standby
power switch in BAT, the hot battery bus will power the battery bus regardless
of TR-3 output. The hot battery bus and the switched hot battery bus receive
power from the battery charger if a generator is operating or from the battery if
AC power is not available. The hot battery bus remains powered at all times. The
switched hot battery bus is powered when battery switch is in ON position. The
ground service bus is normally powered through generator bus 1. When the airplane is on the ground and external power is connected, pl acing the Gro und Se r-
vice Switch (located on the attendant’s panel) to ON will connect the ground
service bus directly to the external power source without energizing the other
airplane electrical busses. This bus contains most of the cabin lighting and other
equipment needed for cleaning.

AC GENERATION
1. The ac generation system consists of generators, manual controls, generator
control relays (GCR), generator control units (GCU), main power circuit
breakers (GB) and annunciator lights.
2. A rotating electromagnetic field causes the output voltage - three phase electrical power at 115 volts and a constant frequency of 400 Hz- to be induced
in the stationary generator armature. The engine-driven generators are driv-

en by CSD’s. A complete generator assembly consists of an AC exciter generator, a rotating rectifier and a main generator.
3. It is interchangeable with the CSD and generator assembly. It gets power
from a variable speed shaft on the accessory gearbox on the engine. It converts this to three phase electrical power at 115 volts and a constant frequency of 400 Hz.
4. Manual controls and monitoring devices for the electrical power system are
on the forward overhead panel P5. The switches for latching contactors are
momentary. There is an AC ammeter for each engine. The ac voltmeter and
frequency meter monitor various systems as determined by the selector
switches below the meters.
5. The GCR, located in the generator control unit, energizes the generator field.
The GCR and the generator field circuit are normally closed. The GCR’s
may be opened or closed by the GEN switches on the pilot’s forward overhead panel P5 or opened by signals from the GCU protection circuits.
6. The purpose of it is to provide excitation, control and protection functions
for the generator system. The three GCU’s are located in the right front of
the P6 panel. Each of the GCU’s (and also the bus protection panel - BPP)
contains a transformer rectifier unit (TRU). The TRU converts the 3-phase
ac power to 28 volt dc power for the control and protection circuits during
normal system operation. If the ac power is not available or the TRU has
failed, the power for the control and protection circuits is available from the
switched hot battery bus. With the battery switch in ON position the
switched hot battery bus is connected to the three GCU‘s and the BPP as a
back-up power for each of the TR units.
7. They connect the 115 volt ac, 400 Hz, 3-phase po wer to the distribu tion sy stem from the engine and APU generators.
8. They indicate the situation of the ac system and the genera- tors.

the texts. Translate the texts.

tribution system from the engine generators.
Location
The two engine generator breakers are located on either side of a (3) attached to
the right outboard side of the (4) wheel well.
Physical Description
The breaker has a dc coil for closing and (5). A permanent (6) assists closing and
holds it in the closed (7) The breaker has 6 main 115 volt ac contacts and 20 auxiliary contacts. The auxiliary contacts are used to control the positions of APU
(8) breakers and external power (9), and for indicating lights in the (10) compartment.

Access
Access to the breakers is gained by (11) the forward and (12) access panels from
the right inner wall in the nose (13) well.
Power
Power supply for (14) of the breaker is 28 volt dc.
Control
The closing and tripping signals for the breakers are from the P5-4 panel, gener ator control units and the bus (15) panel.
Operation
Application of 28 volt dc to close, allows mo mentary (16) of the coil. When the
breaker closes, the coil (17) through the auxiliary contact and the breaker is held
closed by the permanent (18). Application of 28 volt dc to trip, reverses the (19)
of the coil and the contactor opens assisted by the (20). The coil deenergizes
through the (21) contact.

SUPPLEMENTARY READING
Skimming a text
Exercise 11. Read how to skim a text and try to do the task.
Skimming a text is a fast reading technique to look for main ideas in a text.
Skimming is used to obtain the gist (the overall sense) of a text.
Do the following tasks:
- read the title, subtitles and subheading to find out what the text is about;
- look at the illustrations to give you further information about the topic;
- read the first and last sentence of each paragraph;
- don't read every word or every sentence; let your eyes skim over the text,
taking in key words;
- continue to think about the meaning of the text.
INFORMATION PROCESSING
Working in aviation requi res operatives (pilots, controllers, airside safety, etc.) to
take in information from a multitude of sources, assess this information, prioritise it, and use it to make decisions and take actions. This complete process from
sensing information (whether it is aural , visual, mental, kinaesthetic, gustative or
olfactory) through to taking action is referred to as “human information pro-
cessing”, or information processing for short. So, information processing refers
to the ability of the operator to process the type and amount of information within the required timeframe, and to do so in an effective manner that leads to suitable responses. Information processing capabilities vary from person to person,
day to day, place to place and task to task. It is particularly affected by age,
health, stress, different environments, workplace cultures, experience levels, interpersonal relationships, distractions, and in particular, by its own limitations.
These limitations can be substantial and will be explained later in this Article.
Knowing how our information processing capabilities can be limited is important
in designing and delegating tasks to ensure that the information processing re quirements fall within the capabilities o f employees and colleagues (i.e. within
their memory, attention and decision-making capabilities) such that the following are minimised:
Failure to see information
Misunderstanding inform atio n
Handling the information incorrectly
Forgetting the information.
Reacting inappropriately
