PART I-DESCRIPTIVE
(ii) Control of the battery is effected by a battery
isolating switch (30) on the starter panel. If a crash
occurs, an inertia switch de-energizes the battery
isolating relay and automatically isolates the battery
and at the sane time energizes the generator field
isolation relay which de-energizes the field circuits of
both generators. (See para. 13(d).)
(iii) There are no circuit breakers in the cockpit: they
are either in the nose of the aircraft or in the fuel
tank bay.
(iv) The ground supply plug is on a recessed panel
covered by a removeable door under the port wing
fillet. This supply point is for testing and servicing,
but if an external ground battery is used for starting,
the battery isolation switch should be set to ON
before the ground supply is disconnected.
(b) A.C. supply
(i) A.C. for the Mk.4F compass, the artificial horizon
and reheat top temperature limiter is supplied by
two inverters. No. 1 inverter, controlled by the
starter master switch, normally supplies the flight
instruments and top temperature limiter. No. 2
inverter, controlled by the ignition switch acts as a
standby to No. 1 inverter.
(ii) If No. 1 inverter fails, automatic changeover to No.
2 inverter occurs. (38)
(iii) Circuit breakers for No. 1 and No. 2 inverter
supplies are in the port and starboard sides of the
nosewheel bay respectively, together with an
indicator which shows white if inverter changeover
has occurred during flight. None of these is access-
ible in flight.
(iv) The A.C. supply for the guns is automatically
supplied by a third inverter. 20
