DC Electrical – General Description

| |The Citation Excel DC electrical distribution system can receive power from 5 potential sources: the left engine driven generator, |Show the three-quarter Citation drawing with the location of |

| |the right engine driven generator, an on-board battery, an optional auxiliary power unit generator or APU, and for ground operations,|the generators in each nacelle, the battery in the behind the|

| |an external power source. |wing on the left side of the fuselage, APU in the right aft |

| | |side of the tailcone and external power receptacle below the |

| | |left engine pylon shown. |

| |The DC electrical system is controlled by switches located on the left instrument sub-panel. These switches include a battery |Show instrument panel and right side APU controls. |

| |switch, two generator switches, two ignition and engine start switches and a starter disengage switch. The APU controls are located | |

| |on a sub-panel forward of the right side circuit breaker panel if the optional APU is installed. | |

| |DC electricity is distributed to electrical components by supplying electricity through strips of metal strategically located in the |Show schematic [pg 2-5 in the Cessna book] and highlight the |

| |aircraft called buses. The primary DC electrical buses are: |buses as they are mentioned. |

| |A BATTERY bus, which receives power from the battery or an external power unit. | |

| |The CROSSFEED bus functions primarily to connect the BATTERY bus, left hand FEED bus, right hand FEED bus, and the optional APU | |

| |generator together. | |

| |Left and right GEN buses receive power directly from their respective generators. | |

| |Left and right SYS buses circuit DC power from the FEED buses to DC electrical components through controls and circuit breakers in | |

| |the cockpit. | |

| |Left and right AVN buses circuit DC power from the FEED buses, to avionics. | |

| |EMER, EMER SYS, and EMER AVN buses, feed power to critical flight instruments and controls. | |

| |DC electrical power is distributed to aircraft systems, avionics, and components through two circuit breaker panels in the cockpit |Show instrument panel and highlight breaker panels. Point to |

| |and a J.-Box circuit breaker panel located in the tailcone. Circuit breakers are logically grouped in the cockpit. The left cockpit |the tail cone area on a three-quarter view diagram of the |

| |circuit breaker panel, located to the left of the pilot, includes primary aircraft systems and some basic flight instrument circuit |plane. |

| |breakers. The right circuit breaker panel located to the right of the copilot, contains avionics systems circuit breakers. | |

| |System operation is monitored by two ammeters (1second pause), a voltmeter (1second pause), a battery temperature gauge (1second |Show instrument panel and highlight and enlarge instruments |

| |per the Maintenance Manual. | |

| |Three generator-assisted cross-starts are equal to one battery start. | |

| |If an external power unit is used for engine start, no battery cycle is counted. This is because the battery disconnect relay will | |

| |open automatically and separate the battery from ground to prevent discharge during the start sequence when external power is used. | |

| |LIMITATION: If the BATT O’ TEMP light illuminates during ground operation (except for test), do not take off until after the proper | |

| |maintenance procedures have been accomplished. | |

External Power

| |The Citation Excel can receive DC electrical power from a ground power unit (GPU) through an external power receptacle located aft of|Show the location of the external power receptacle |

| |the wing on the left side of the fuselage. | |

| |The GPU should be regulated to a constant 28 volts. It should be cable of enough continuous amperage for ground operations prior to |Show a ground power unit indicating 28 volts with 1000 amps |

| |required. It is a good practice to stabilize the GPU at 28 volts BEFORE connecting to the aircraft. This will protect sensitive | |

| |avionics from voltage fluctuations and the battery from excessive discharge if the GPU does not have reverse current protection. | |

| |When ground power is connected, //// the ground power relay closes and links the GPU to the battery bus and battery regardless of |Show the electrical systematic. Pause the narration and |

Fault Protection and Load Shedding

| |Bus tie relays, current limiters and circuit breakers protect the DC electrical system against faults. |Expand the devices in the main drawing & place in insets off |

| | |to the side. |

| |Many of the current limiters in the electrical system act as delayed fuses. If a current limiter opens, power does not flow from |Type HIGH CURRENT FLOW, Make the Current limiter glow, then |

| |the source. For example, if the 225 amp current limiter between the left FEED bus and the CROSSFEED bus opens, current would not |put a red x across it. |

| |flow between these buses. The problem must be corrected and the current limiter replaced before the system can operate normally. | |

| |A circuit breaker serves the same purpose as a current limiter. However, it can be reset without replacing the device. If an |Show essential circuit breaker tripping. |

| |individual component or system draws too much amperage, the circuit breaker associated with that component or system will trip open.| |

| |The electrical problem should be identified and corrected before the circuit breaker is reset. Do not attempt to reset a circuit | |

| |breaker in flight unless the associated component or system is essential. It must be understood that there is a risk of fire if a | |

| |circuit breaker is reset before the electrical problem that caused the circuit breaker to trip has been identified and corrected. | |
