When operating above 41,000 ft with both generators operating, current is limited to per generator

When operating above 41,000 ft with both generators operating, current is limited to per generator

• A. 200 amps
• B. 280 amps
• C. 260 amps
• D. 300 amps

Answer: (C)

When both generators are online above 41,000 ft, the system limits each generator to 260 A. This keeps load sharing balanced between the two units and protects the generators and associated wiring from overcurrent in a high-altitude environment where cooling and regulation can be more challenging. So, with both generators operating, you’d have up to 520 A total available, but no single generator can exceed 260 A.
