auxiliary power sources paralleled

[ASCTU744]

Can two auxiliary power sources be paralleled?

According to this | they can, but only for a short time (max 110ms). In my case the SSB stayed closed...

Reproduceable here.

Unlike sources (APU/EXT) on bus halves (SSB open), deselect the GCBs on one side, the APU and EXT parallel.


Same sources (EXT/EXT) on bus halves (SSB open), deselect the GCBs on one side, the EXT and EXT parallel. Same for APU/APU.

PSX behaves as if there is only one source on the busses. When you reselect the GCBs on one side, all the busses become powered by the engines.

Of course we know this is wrong. Nothing should happen to the configuration when you deselect the GCBs. Something has broken with one of the upgrades.

Something has broken with one of the upgrades.

That's probably it.

Just fixed it in PSX 10.167:

(We didn't notice this problem because we usually don't turn off a GCB switch when the GCB is already open; and even if we did it for a test, we probably did it within 10 seconds of the last switch action before the related field-off status occured.)

It now works properly
