by LEFT and RIGHT bleed air valve switches placarded
ENVIRO & PNEU BLEED AIR PNEU ONLY ON. When
the switch is in the ON position, the environmental flow
control unit and the pneumatic valve are open. When
the switch is in the PNEU ONLY position, the
environmental flow control unit is closed and the
pneumatic bleed air valve is open; in the ENVIRO &
PNEU BLEED AIR position, both are closed. For
maximum cooling on the ground, turn the bleed air
valve switches to the PNEU ONLY position.

The forward vent blower is
controlled by the switch placarded VENT BLOWER
FWD AUTO LOW HI. The HI and LOW positions
regulate the blower to two speeds of operation. In the
AUTO position, the fan will run at low speed except
when the CABIN TEMP MODE SELECT switch is
placed in the OFF position. In the OFF position, the
blower will not operate.
(5)
The aft vent blower is controlled
by the switch placarded VENT BLOWER AFT AUTO
ON. The single speed blower operates automatically
through the N1 speed switch when the aft vent blower
switch is placed in the AUTO position. The blower
operates continuously when the switch is placed in the
ON position with the air conditioner compressor running.
In the OFF position, the blower will not operate.
Section IX. ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
2-72.
DESCRIPTION.
The aircraft employs both direct current (DC) and
alternating current (AC) electrical power. The DC
electrical power supply (fig. 2-25) is the basic power
system energizing most aircraft circuits. Electrical
power is used to start the engines, power the landing
gear and flap motors, and operate the standby fuel
pumps,
ventilation
blower,
lights
and
electronic
equipment. AC power is obtained from the DC power
system through inverters. The single phase AC power
system is shown in figure 2-26, and the three phase AC
power system is shown in figure 2-27. The three
sources of DC power consist of one 20 cell 34-
ampere/hour battery and two 400-ampere starter-
generators. DC power may be applied to the aircraft
through an external power receptacle on the underside
of the right wing stub, just outboard of the nacelle. The
starter-generators are controlled by generator control
units. The output of each generator passes through a
cable to the respective generator bus (fig. 2-25): Other
buses distribute power to aircraft DC loads, deriving
power from the generator buses. The generators are
paralleled to balance the DC loads between the two
units. When one of the generating systems is not on
line, and no fault exists, all aircraft DC requirements
may be supplied by either the other on-line generating
system or by an external power source. The generator
system is designed to allow cross starting of the other
engine. When one generator is on line, all current
limiters are bypassed while starting the other engine.
Most DC distribution buses are connected to both
generator buses but have isolation diodes to prevent
power crossfeed between the generating systems, when
connection between the generator buses is lost. Thus,
when either generator is lost because of a ground fault,
the operating generator will supply power for all aircraft
DC loads except those receiving power from the
inoperative generator's bus, which cannot be crossfed.
When a generator is not operating, reverse current and
over-voltage protection is automatically provided. Two
inverters operating from DC power produce the required
single-phase AC power. Three phase AC electrical
power for inertial navigation system and mission
avionics is supplied by two DC powered three phase
mission inverters (fig. 2-28).
The mission AC/DC power cabinet (fig. 2-29) located in
the mission rack, aft of the copilot's seat. AC power may
be applied through an external power receptacle located
in the underside of the left wing stub, just outboard of
the engine nacelle.

DC POWER SUPPLY.
One nickel-cadmium battery furnishes DC power when
the engines are not operating. This 24-volt, 34-
ampere/hour battery, located in the right wing center
section, is accessible through a panel on the top of the
wing. DC power is produced by two engine-driven 28
volt,
400-ampere
starter-generators.
Controls
and
indicators associated with the DC supply system are
located in the overhead control panel (fig. 2-13) and
consist of a single battery switch, two generator
switches, two DC digital voltmeters, and two DC digital
loadmeters.
a. Battery
Switch.
The
switch,
placarded
BATTERY OFF RESET ON (fig. 2-13), is located on the
overhead control panel under the MASTER SWITCH
(gangbar). The BATTERY switch controls DC power to
the aircraft bus system through the battery relay, and
must be ON to allow external power
