PART I-DESCRIPTIVE
(c) A.C. Supply-post mod. 607
(i) When mod. 607 is embodied, separate switches are
provided for the inverters together with a changeover
magnetic indicator (38). The magnetic indicator is
situated on the port instrument panel, the FLIGHT
INSTRUMENTS EARLY START switch adjacent
to the starter button on the centre instrument
panel and the INVERTER RESET switch on the
starboard shelf aft of the D.M.E. control panel.
(ii) Before starting, when the EARLY START switch is
set ON, No. 2 inverter starts up and supplies A.C.
The magnetic indicator shows white. When the
engine is started, auto-changeover to No. 1 inverter
occurs when engine r.p.m. are at ground idling: the
magnetic indicator changes to black.
(iii) If, during taxying, the magnetic indicator changes to
white again it shows that auto-change back to No. 2
inverter has occurred. If this occurs the INVERTER
RESET switch should be held momentarily to OFF,
when a black indication should be restored. If the
indicator remains white, it is an indication that No. 1
inverter has failed and No. 2 only will he operative.
(iv) After take-off, when the nose-wheel door is retracted,
an override relay ensures an alternative supply
circuit so that, even if the EARLY START switch
is inadvertently knocked OFF during flight, contin-
uity of supply to No. 2 inverter will be available. If
No. 1 inverter fails in flight, auto-changeover to No.
2 occurs and the magnetic indicator shows white.
(v) A No. 1 INVERTER GROUND TEST switch is
located in the port side of the nose-wheel hay and is
for servicing purposes only. 20A
