LNR212 Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Could someone please tell me what i am doing wrong or maybe in false sequence, but how do i get rid of "X.GEN.CC" on the Cautionpanel?? I've seen a startup tutorial here and i think he's doing it the same way as i do...?!? Thanks!
Vivoune Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 AFAIK You have to turn the generator switch to on on the electric panel once your engines are running (just right of the union barras switch). So the engine can generate power to your systems. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Tango Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 If the GPU is connected and supplying power, UNION BARRAS is open, and the batteries are isolated (system logic). Close UNION BARRAS so the GPU can supply power to the rest of the aircraft systems and charge the batteries. Best regards, Tango. 1
LNR212 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Posted January 25, 2015 OK Guys, first of all thanks for your help! I made a mistake by switching Buttons. I always pressed "GROUND FAULT/OVERVOLTAGE Test" before Startup. Without pressing it, i doesent appear, but if i once press it, the X.GEN.C.C comes back and dont vanish anymore... (just tested it after perfect startup) Is this switch maybe my personal "don't touch it" switch?? :)
harm_ Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I never tried performing the test with engine off, but I think if you move your Generator switch downwards (RESET) and then ON, it will reset the advisory (provided the rest of the system is configured properly). I will test that later :P
Tango Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) If you perform any generator fault test, you must set RESET - OFF - ON to connect the generator. X GEN CC is to tell you the aircraft engine generator is not connected to the secondary DC bus. It is also the only caption to remain illuminated regardless of electrical system configuration, if any DC bus is powered and the engine generator is not connected (you can try it by connecting the GPU with UNION BARRAS open). The CAWS requires primary DC power (not available as the batteries are isolated, and UNION BARRAS is open preventing the secondary DC bus powering the primary DC bus through the DC bus-tie contactor).
