Boeing 777 Electrics
1 / 15
During autoland, the busses isolate to allow three independent sources to power the three autopilots.
The left IDG powers the left AC transfer bus, the left main DC bus, and the captain’s flight instrument bus The right IDG powers the battery bus and AC standby bus through the main battery charger The backup system powers the right AC transfer bus, the right DC bus, and the first officer’s flight instrument bus.

On ground no power connected to the airplane. Which items will be powered if you push the BATTERY switch ON?
3 / 15
The standby inverter converts DC power to AC power. The inverter powers the AC standby bus if the right transfer bus is not powered.
The standby inverter converts DC power to AC power. The inverter powers the AC standby bus if the left transfer bus is not powered.

What is the primary source of standby power if all normal AC and DC power source fail?
6 / 15
What is the secondary source of power for 'fly-by-wire' if one or more PMGs are unpowered?
7 / 15
Primary power for the flight control DC electrical system comes from permanent magnet generators (PMGs) housed within each backup generator. Variable frequency PMG AC power is used by individual power supply assemblies (PSAs) to provide DC power to the three flight control DC busses. To ensure a high level of system reliability, each PSA also has multiple AC power sources.
To ensure a high level of system reliability, each PSA also has multiple DC power sources (No AC power!). If primary PMG AC power is not available, secondary power for the left and right PSAs is provided by the related main DC bus. Secondary power for the center PSA is provided by the captain’s flight instrument bus. The hot battery bus provides additional backup power for the left and center PSAs only. Each PSA also uses a dedicated battery to prevent power interruptions to the related flight control DC bus. The batteries have limited capacity and are incorporated to supply power for brief periods during PSA power source transfers.

Which one of the following is not true about the backup electrical system?
14 / 15
Will the IDG disconnect automatically for high temperature?
15 / 15
Does electric power has priority over hydraulic power from the RAT?
Hydraulic has priority, and if electric is shed, only the CA instrument bus is powered through the main battery
