A330 Q - REV THR with RAT?

Is there a scenario where the RAT could be powering the EMER GEN and yet you would have REV available on landing?

Hi,

REV inop as per the system remaining table on QRH (Emer gen powered by the RAT). Since the RAT will automatically deploy in case of both engine failure or loss of G+B or G+Y then you should still have REV 2 or 1 according to the failure.

Thanks for the responses.

If I understand correctly, the EMER GEN operates off the G HYD when the main gens fail and the RAT, as stated above, deploys with dual engine failure or loss of G + B/Y.

So in order to have EMER GEN on the RAT and REV (both) available it would require all main GENs to fail along with low pressure on G with manual deployment of the RAT. Is that right?

Sorry for the strange question, just to do with a tech exam.

Sounds right to me, can't really see any other options.
