means the generators are operating in parallel to each other. Basically just operating at the same time sharing the same loads. They start parallelling at .14 load.

For the generators what happens when over voltage is detected?

the over voltage system detects 32.5v or more and take the generator offline by opening the reverse current relay.

right inboard flap

You suspect that the right 325 Amps current limit failed. How do you confirm this?

the respective side inverter is inop

What is going on in the system when you select flaps full and you hear a warning horn?

the systems detects that your Gear is not down and locked.

When doing a battery start, why do we turn GEN 2 off before starting the left engine and then bring it back online after 10% N1?

we do that because starters draw 1000amps and you might blow a 325amp current limiter.
