737-200 stuff

[downwind]

Dear all,

Just wondering if some 737 gurus can please have a go at answering these electrical questions for a 737-200 ground school.

1. after disconnection is there any indications on the generator oil temperature guage?

2. Standby AC power can be supplied from?

3. Can a generator breaker be closed both automatically and manually?

4. The APU generator breaker willl not close until? :O

The 737-200 is not my strong suit, but in the absence of any other answers here goes.

1. Yes there should be. Power for the gen oil temp gauge is from 28V DC bus 1/2.

2. Either the APU or the battery via the inverter.

3. The GB's cannot be closed automatically. They can only be closed by you putting the gen's on at the overhead panel.

4. Similar to Q3, APU GB can only be closed manually at the overhead panel.


You should have been given the three golden rules of 737 electrics:
1. There is no paralleling of AC power.
2. The source of AC power being switched on takes priority and disconnects the existing source.
3. A source of AC power does not enter the system automatically (when it reaches proper voltage & freq). It must be manually switched on.

It is this last one that applies to your two last questions.

S & L

PS The last rule does not apply to NG's

PPS Edited to add the PS.

Hi

1. Yes, cd CSD HIGH OIL TEMP is always armed

2. In normal condition from de TRANSFER BUS # 1.
Alternative power (stand by power) from the BATTERY BUS Through the INVERTER

3. No, they operate automatically when you connect the Gen switches

4. Same as 3rd.
REMEMBER THIS: BREAK BEFORE MAKE ( the existing source is remove then the switched one connects.)
