Falcon 2000 Electrical Questions with Correct
Answers
How many possible DC power sources are there for the Falcon 2000?
Five
What are the DC power sources
- 2 engine driven generators,
- APU generator,
- 1 24V DC NiCad battery,
- GPU
Does the Falcon 2000 use A/C power, and if so where does it get it?
Any equipment requiring alternating current has internal integral inverters.
When the GEN -APU-BAT selector switch is in the GEN position,
what voltage is the left voltmeter indicating?
Volts on left main bus.
When the GEN -APU-BAT selector in APU or BAT position, what voltage is the left
voltmeter indicating?
Voltmeter is indicating essential bus voltage.
What amperage does the left ammeter indicate when the GEN -APU-BAT selector
switch is in each of its respective positions?
It reads the amperage (load) of the selected power source.
What does the right voltmeter indicate?
, The right main bus.
What amperage source does the right ammeter indicate?
Only Gen 2 amperage.
When you press the HRZN button, what voltage are you looking for on the voltmeter?
26V with 24V as the minimum.
When you press the AHS or AHS2 pushbutton, what voltage are you looking for?
27V with 24V as the minimum.
How many volts does the battery normally supply?
24V, 36Amp hour NiCad battery.
When you first turn the battery on before starting the APU, what is the minimum volts
you should see?
Minimum 22v
When does the battery ventilation fan operate?
Battery switch on, WOW, and EXT PWR switch is off.
Is the battery ventilated in flight?
In flight, continuous ventilation is provided by a venturi airflow system that operates through
the battery drain tube.
What does it mean if the amber BAT annunciator on the MWP illuminates?
Indicates the position of the battery contactor. When contactor is closed, the annunciator is
extinguished. When contactor open, the annunciator illuminates.
