Good day!
I am currently writing a short report on DC machines and I intended to use the generator onboard the Bombardier/DHC Dash 8 Q400's Auxiliary Power Unit as a focal topic. Upon searching through several documentation (both from Bombardier themselves and some airlines like AirBaltic) I have only stumbled upon operation manuals but nothing on the inner workings of the APU themselves.
Thus, I would like to ask if anyone can share clarity regarding this topic? I understand that the APU has a generator which supplies 28V DC, however I do not know if this is due to the generator being a DC machine or if it is rectified from something like a 3 phase AC generator.
Any response would be appreciated and even just links to equipment documentation would really help a lot.
Thank you very much!
