(K312) if an over voltage, over current or
reverse current condition exists. Power is
stored in a 24 Vdc high ampere hour nickel-
cadmium battery BT101. If the generator
output is excessively low, a reverse current
condition will develop between the battery and
generator. The GCU current sense line will
trip the GEN switch removing power from the
GCU. An internal ground is provided by the
GCU to illuminate the GEN OUT indicator.
The GEN circuit breaker type switch protects
the generator field circuit from currents over
15 amperes and provides power to the GCU.
Auxiliary power receptacle J100, protected by
APU relay K309, provides an alternate source
of 28 Vdc power for the helicopter when on the
ground. The BATTERY-OFF-EXT PWR
switch S2 directs power from either APU relay
K309 or battery relay K310 to main dc power
busses.
4. Power Distribution Center
(Effective on the following helicopters only:
369E helicopter S/N 384 and subs,
369FF helicopter S/N 076 and subs,
500N helicopters S/N 001 and subs and
600N helicopters S/N 0003 and subs)
The power distribution center is located just
aft of Sta. 64.37 canted bulkhead, under the
pilot seat structure. The power distribution
center consists of battery relay (K310), ground
power relay (K309), landing light relay (K101),
over voltage diodes (CR2001, CR2002,
CR2003), ammeter shunt (AS301) and forward
line contactor (K308).
The over voltage diodes provide protection to
ship electrical systems and any optional
avionics systems from voltage spikes or
improper ground power unit supply voltages.
The ammeter shunt increases load current
measurement accuracy and improved reliabil­
ity. The forward line contactor isolates the
battery and ship power from the main feeder.
An aft line contactor located in the engine bay
on the oleo support fitting between Sta. 124.0
and 137.50. The contactor isolates the genera­
tor from the main feeder.
