Lesson Organization
A.
DC power system: consists of two batteries,
generator, voltage regulator, overvoltage unit,

Power generation
a.
Main electrical power supplied by 28

(1) During ground starts, the
GENERATOR warning light will
extinguish when a suitable DC
output is obtained 25-25.2 VDC (at
approximately 42% rpm); White
Paper: may occur as high as 61%
(weak permanent magnet in
generator) (no big deal - Brits)

output voltage to 28.2-29.2 VDC by
adjusting generator excitation voltage
c.
Overvoltage protection unit monitors
Overlay 3
Overvoltage Unit
from exceeding 30.2 VDC by shutting
down generator
d.
If generator goes off-line
(1) MSTR ALERT light flashes
(2) GENERATOR warning light on
WCP illuminates
(3) Warning tone sounds
NOTE: The MSTR ALERT light
and warning tone may be canceled
by pressing the MSTR ALERT
light.
