Ground Power Receptacle
The ground power receptacle allows connection to a ground power unit.
Ground power receptacle connection with main bus bar is controlled through the
SOURCE selector when set to GPU. It will be effective when connection
conditions are met.
When the SOURCE selector is set to GPU, the battery and the ground power unit
are connected simultaneously on main bus bar.
Ground power receptacle door opening is indicated by
GPU DOOR
displayed in
the CAS window.
NOTE
Before connecting a GPU to the airplane, ensure that the voltage of the GPU is
regulated between 27.5 volts and 28.5 volts.
The amperage output needs to be consistent with the airplane placard in front
of the compartment door: GPU shall provide a current limiting function, and
current limit shall be set per placard.
Do not use batteries pack as GPU sources.
CAUTION
Use of a ground power source with voltage in excess of 28.5 volts or current
exceeding current limit indicated on placard may damage the airplane electrical
system.
Distribution
Airplane electrical systems are connected to bus bars and protected by pull-off
type breakers located on the right-side upholstery panel – see
. In case of overload of a system, the breaker triggers and switches
the system off.
CAUTION
If a breaker corresponding to a non-essential system trips, do not reset in flight.
If a breaker corresponding to an essential system trips:
-
allow it to cool for about three minutes, then the breaker may be reengaged
(pressed down)
-
if the breaker trips again, do not reset.
