If only one generator is online and connected to the Synch Bus, what percentage of the aircraft's power needs does it supply?

• A. 100%
• B. 50%
• C. 0%
• D. 25%

Answer: (A)

Power on the Synch Bus is supplied by the generators connected to it. If only one generator is online and tied to the Synch Bus, it becomes the sole source for the bus and must provide all the aircraft’s electrical load. Therefore, that single generator supplies 100% of the aircraft’s power needs, assuming it has enough capacity to handle the load. If more generators were online, they would share the load according to their ratings, but with just one online, it covers the full demand.
