Static inverter activation requires which combination of actions?

Static inverter activation requires which combination of actions?

• A. Either start button pressed, throttles placed in max, and OXY TEST/GAUGE switch
• B. Throttle idle only
• C. Start button held for 3 seconds
• D. OXY TEST/GAUGE switch only

Answer: (A)

Activation of the static inverter is controlled by a safety sequence that requires deliberate actions to ensure the aircraft is in a safe, ready state before power is supplied to critical systems. The best answer includes all three parts: pressing the start button, placing the throttles in maximum, and setting the OXY TEST/GAUGE switch. Each action serves a safety interlock: the start button provides intentional initiation, the throttles in max ensure the electrical and engine systems can support the inverter, and the OXY TEST/GAUGE switch puts the oxygen/gauge subsystem into its test/state so the system won’t power up under fault conditions. Without one of these steps, the inverter could activate inappropriately or while conditions aren’t safe—for example, throttle idle doesn’t meet the power requirement, starting alone lacks the necessary power and system checks, and using only the oxygen switch doesn’t initiate the sequence at all.
