Operational Test of the Static Inverter when the Aircraft Electrical Circuits are Energized from the External Power


TASK 24-28-00-710-001-A
Operational Test of the Static Inverter when the Aircraft Electrical Circuits are Energized from the External Power


ZONE: 210
1. Reason for the Job
Refer to the MPD TASK: 242800-01
OPERATIONAL CHECK OF STATIC INVERTER
Test of the correct power supply of the DC ESS BUS, AC ESS BUS and AC STAT INV BUS in emergency configuration when the batteries are the only power supply source.
NOTE: If the external power is not available, there is an alternative method (with the APU) for this procedure. This task gives the first method. For the alternative method, refer to the other task in this page block.
NOTE: If the external power is available and the APU is in operation, you must refer to the alternative method with the APU to do the operational test of the static inverter.

4. Procedure
WARNING: TELL ALL THE PERSONS ON THE AIRCRAFT THAT:
  • THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF DURING THIS TEST
  • THEY MUST NOT MOVE ON THE AIRCRAFT UNTIL THIS TEST IS COMPLETED.
IF NOT INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE CAN OCCUR WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OFF SUDDENLY.

A. Operational Test of the Static Inverter
ACTION
RESULT
1.On the ELEC panel 35VU:
  • Make sure that the voltage of the batteries 1 and 2 is higher than 25.5V.

2.Power supply the aircraft electrical circuits:

3.Do the EIS start procedure (upper ECAM DU and lower ECAM DU only)
(Ref. AMM TASK 31-60-00-860-001).

4.On the ECAM control panel:
  • Get the ELEC page.
On the lower ECAM display unit:
  • Make sure that the external power energizes correctly the aircraft electrical circuits.
5.On the ELEC panel 35VU:
  • Release the BAT1 pushbutton switch.
On the ELEC panel 35VU:
  • The OFF legend of the BAT1 pushbutton switch comes on.
  • Push the BAT1 pushbutton switch.
  • The OFF legend of the BAT1 pushbutton switch goes off.
  • Release the BAT2 pushbutton switch.
  • The OFF legend of the BAT2 pushbutton switch comes on.
  • Push the BAT2 pushbutton switch.
  • The OFF legend of the BAT2 pushbutton switch goes off.

On the lower ECAM display unit:
  • Make sure that the battery charge current (for BAT1 and BAT2) is lower than 60A after approximately 10 seconds.
NOTE: If the current does not decrease after 10 seconds, it is necessary to do a charging cycle of the batteries. When the charging cycle is completed (batteries no longer connected to the DC BAT BUS), do the check again.
6.On the ELEC panel 35VU:
  • Release the BAT1 and BAT2 pushbutton switches.
On the ELEC panel 35VU:
  • The OFF legend of the BAT1 and BAT2 pushbutton switches comes on.
7.On the overhead control and indication panel 21VU, on the section EMER ELEC PWR:
  • Open the guard, push and hold the EMER GEN TEST pushbutton switch during all the test,

On the ELEC panel 35VU:
  • Release the BUS TIE pushbutton switch.
On the ELEC panel 35VU:
  • The OFF legend of the BUS TIE pushbutton switch comes on.
8.On the ECAM control panel:
  • Push and hold the ELEC key, the ELEC page comes into view and stays on during the test.
On the upper ECAM display unit:
  • The DC ESS and AC ESS indications come on green,
  • The amber SHED indication comes on under the DC ESS and AC ESS indications,
