Provide power to the battery relay to energize the relay and connect the battery to the bus
Remove the ground from relay R1 to allow the relay to close
Provide a ground path to forward bias the diode and cause relay R1 to be bypassed
Refer to attached figure. What does switch S4 do?
Provide battery power to the starter relay contactors to connect battery voltage to the starter motor
Directly disconnect battery bus voltage from the starter motor
Provide power to the starter relay coil to energize the relay and connect battery voltage to the starter motor
Ground the starter relay coil to energize the relay and connect battery voltage to the starter motor
Refer to attached figure. How does the field current connect to the generator?
Field is internally produced in the generator
From the voltage regulator, through the master switch, to the generator
From the battery bus to the generator
From the voltage regulator, through the generator circuit breaker, to the generator
Refer to attached image. In the Cessna 340 aircraft, where do the cabin entry courtesy lights obtain their power?
Master switched battery bus
