base1962 Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 As per the checklist, following engine start, verify load less than 80 amps. I put the gen switch in standby and it doesn't pick up the load and voltage drops to about 24. I reset the generator and it'll start to pick up the load and drops again. Maintenance says all electrical systems are good. Any idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N602AC Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 The load on main gen is below 80 amps before switching to standby gen, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
base1962 Posted October 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) Well... I may have been looking at battery load instead of generator load. I had to zoom way in to make out the difference on my screen. In flight gen swap reveals a functional standby generator. I need another beer.
