d. INVERTER Light Illuminated. Illumination of
the #1 or #2 INVERTER caution light indicates failure
of the affected inverter. When either inverter fails, the
total ac load is automatically switched to the remaining
inverter. When a #1 or #2 INVERTER light illuminates,
perform the following:
1. Affected INVERTER switch – OFF.

If the circuit breaker is for an essential item, the circuit
breaker may be reset once. If a bus feeder circuit
breaker (on the overhead circuit breaker panel) trips, a
short is indicated. Do not reset in flight. If a circuit
breaker trips, perform the following:
1. BUS FEEDER breaker tripped – Do not
reset.
2. Nonessential circuit – Do not reset.
3. Essential circuit – Reset once.
NOTE
Circuit breakers should not be reset more
than once until the cause of circuit
malfunction has been determined and
corrected.
Do not reset dual-fed bus
