GENerators regulated in speed by integrated drives.
GEN 1 is driven by engine 1.
GEN 2 is driven by engine 2.
Engine generators characteristics are:
- 115/200 volts, three phase,
- 400 Hz,
- 90 kVA.
APU GENERATOR
A third AC generator driven by the APU can replace one or both main
engine generators throughout the flight envelope.
APU GEN characteristics are:
- 115/200 volts, three phase,
- 400 Hz,
- 90 kVA.
EXTERNAL POWER
A ground EXTernal PoWeR connector enables all bus bars to be
supplied.
External power characteristics are:
- 115/200 volts, three phase,
- 400 Hz,
- 90 kVA minimum.
EMERGENCY GENERATOR
An AC EMERgency GEN is driven by the Ram Air Turbine (RAT)
hydraulic circuit. It automatically provides emergency power in case of
failure of all main aircraft generators. Emergency generator characteristics
are:
- 115/200 volts, three phase,
- 400 Hz,
- 5 kVA.
AC TRANSFER
The AC transfer circuit enables AC BUS to be supplied by any generator
or external power, via the Bus Tie Contactors (BTCs).

DC GENERATION
DC generation is accomplished by Transformer Rectifiers (TRs) 1 and
2. All TR characteristics are:
- maximum output of 200 A,
- 28V DC.
One essential TR unit replaces a faulty main TR to power the DC ESS
BUS.
DC DISTRIBUTION
DC BUS 1/2
DC BUS 1 and DC BUS 2 are supplied by their related TR.
DC BAT BUS
The DC BATtery BUS is supplied by DC BUS 1 or by DC BUS 2 if
DC BUS 1 fails. Batteries can also supply the DC BAT BUS.
DC ESS BUS
The DC ESS BUS is supplied by the DC BAT BUS. In an emergency,
it is supplied either by battery 2 or by the essential TR.
DC ESS SHED BUS
The DC ESS SHED BUS is supplied by the DC ESS BUS.
BATTERIES
Two batteries can be connected to the DC BAT BUS. Each battery has
its own bus, HOT BUS 1 and HOT BUS 2. They are permanently
supplied. The battery capacity is 23 Ah with a nominal voltage of 24V
DC.
STATIC INVERTER
On batteries only, the STATic INVerter connected to battery 1 supplies
the AC STAT INV BUS.
Static inverter characteristics are:
- 115 volts, single phase,
- 400 Hz.
GROUND/FLIGHT BUSES
AC and DC GrouND/FLighT BUSes are normally supplied by the aircraft
network, or directly by the external power unit, upstream of the External
Power Contactor (EPC), without energizing the whole aircraft network.
GALLEYS
The main and secondary electrical circuits of the galleys are supplied by
AC BUS 1 and 2. The main electrical circuits are shed in single generator
operation.
MAIN ELEC CONFIGURATIONS
GROUND SUPPLY
On ground, the complete circuit may be supplied by the external power
unit or by the APU generator.
NORMAL FLIGHT CONFIGURATION
In normal flight configuration, each generator supplies its own
distribution network via its Generator Line Contactor (GLC). The two
generators are never electrically coupled.
GROUND SERVICES
For ground service only, the AC and the DC GND FLT BUSes can
be supplied independently from the normal circuit.
LOSS OF MAIN GENERATORS
In flight, in case of total loss of all the main generators, and before
the emergency generator connection, battery 1 will supply the AC
ESS BUS, via the STAT INV and battery 2 will supply the DC ESS
BUS. This is a transient configuration, during RAT extension or no
emergency generator available. When its parameters are correct, the
emergency generator comes on line and supplies the AC and DC ESS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM & CIRCUIT IDENTIFICATION (2)
SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION
An alphanumeric reference code is used to identify systems, circuits and
components. The first letter of the reference code is used for system
identification. A system is a set of circuits which fulfills a main function.
All components not specifically related to a circuit are identified by the
letter V. The second letter defines the type of component.
CIRCUIT IDENTIFICATION
The second letter of the reference code is used for circuit identification
within the system. A circuit is a series of components with or without
wiring, serving a specific function in a given system. All components
not specifically related to a circuit are identified by the letter V. The
second letter defines the type of component. Mechanical and
electrical/electro-mechanical components have been differentiated by
using the letter M in place of the second circuit letter for real mechanical
equipment.
COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION
The four numeric characters, in front of the circuit identification, identify
the component within the circuit. For electrical components, the reference
numbers are from 1 to 999. Purely mechanical components are referenced
from 5.000 to 7.999. Four supplementary characters, left justified and
without non significant zero, are used to identify symmetrical or multiple
installations. Example: 1CC1 for Flight Augmentation Computer (FAC)
1, 1CC2 for FAC 2.
MAIN BUSBAR IDENTIFICATION
The main busbars are identified using:
- a sequence number,
- letters XP for AC busbars and PP for DC busbars,
- a phase letter when applicable.
The first number (1 or 2 or 3...) indicates the busbar number. The letters
XP or PP indicate the corresponding power form. XP for alternating
Current and PP for Direct Current.
Example:
- 1XP: main alternating current busbar 1(MAIN AC BUS 1),
- 1PP: main direct current busbar 1 (MAIN DC BUS 1),
- 1XP-A: MAIN AC BUS 1 phase A,
- 6PP: direct current service busbar (DC SVCE BUS).
SUB-BUSBAR IDENTIFICATION
The sub-busbars are identified in the same way as the main busbar, but
with three identification digits:
- the first is identical to the number of the corresponding main busbar,
- the two following digits are the sub-busbar numbers.
Example:
- 401XP is the first sub-busbar of the AC ESS BUS,
- 601PP is the first sub-busbar of the SERVICE BUS.
It should be noted that for the AC network, the thirties are used for the
26V-400 Hz distribution.
Example: 103XP, are sub-busbar of the main busbar 1XP, but 131XP is
the 26V-400 Hz distribution sub-busbar.

ELECTRICAL POWER LEVEL 2 (2)
GENERAL
There are two identical engine driven generators called Integrated Drive
Generators (IDGs). They are used as the main power source to supply
the A/C electrical network.
The IDG basically contains, in a common housing, a generator and a
Constant Speed Drive (CSD). The CSD gives a constant input speed to
the generator, which is required for a constant output frequency.
Each generator supplies 115V 400Hz AC to its own bus:
- generator 1 supplies AC bus 1,
- generator 2 supplies AC bus 2.
This supply is known as split operation, which means that the AC power
sources are never connected in parallel.
Each AC bus supplies a Transformer Rectifier (TR):
- AC bus 1 supplies TR 1,
- AC bus 2 supplies TR 2.
The TRs convert 115V AC into 28V DC to supply their associated DC
buses, DC 1 and DC 2.
DC bus 1 then supplies the DC BATtery bus.
The DC BAT bus can charge the batteries or receive power from the
batteries as a backup supply, if no other power sources are available.
The electrical system also includes two ESSential (ESS) Buses. One is
the AC ESS bus fed by AC bus 1 and the other is the DC ESS bus fed
by DC bus 1. These buses are used to supply the most critical A/C
systems.
This is the basic electrical system. We will now introduce some other
components which also supply the system.
The APU generator can also supply the entire electrical network.
On the ground, the aircraft electrical network can be supplied by an
external power source.
Any one of the power sources can supply the entire electrical network.
As no parallel connection is allowed on this A/C (split operation), we
have to give priorities to the different power sources in supplying the bus
bars.
AC 1 and AC 2 buses are supplied in priority by their own side generator,
then the external power, then the APU generator and then by the opposite
generator.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Avoid use of the APU if APU BLEED air is not necessary.
Turn-off unused ground service equipment (GPU, Air conditioning
cart, etc...) if no work is being done or nobody is present on the
aircraft.

SERVICING
CHECK OF THE OIL LEVEL AND FILTER DPI
Each engine (HP rotor) drives its related Integrated Drive Generator
(IDG) through the accessory gearbox.
The drive speed varies according to the engine rating. The IDG internal
gearing, converts the variable gearbox frequency to a stable 400 Hz.
The IDG supplies a 115 V AC, 3-phase, and 400 Hz AC. At some
point, servicing will be required of the IDG. In this module you will
see a video that will demonstrate the correct servicing procedures of
the IDG.
Check the oil level and the filter Differential Pressure Indicator (DPI)
each 150 Flight Hours (FH) or each times the engine cowls are opened.
Depending on when the time schedule occurs there might be a reason,
during transit checks, that you must check the oil level and the filter
DPI each 150 FH or each time the engine cowls are opened.
On each engine, use the sight glass that is in the vertical position to
do the check of the oil level. If it is below the green band or above
the yellow band, do the oil servicing.
Clogged filter indication is provided by a visual pop out indicator (the
DPI) mounted on the IDG. This indicator is installed opposite the
drive end of the IDG.

IDG COOLING SYSTEM (3)
GENERAL
The Integrated Drive Generator (IDG) oil cooling system consists of an
IDG oil cooler, which is part of the engine fuel/oil heat management
system. The IDG oil cooler is connected to the IDG by two oil connections
(in and out).
OPERATION PRINCIPLE
A scavenge pump in the IDG pumps the oil through the scavenge filter
and the IDG oil cooler. The engine heat management system regulates
the fuel flow through the IDG oil cooler to cool the IDG oil. A charge
pump provides regulated cooled oil supply pressure to the generator and
other users.
The purpose of the IDG oil cooler bypass valve is to protect the IDG oil
from overcooling. Note that the cooler bypass valve is not part of the
engine fuel/oil heat management system.
COLD CONDITIONS
In cold conditions (oil temp <40°C), the oil pressure increases due to
high oil viscosity, then the cooler bypass valve opens to bypass the IDG
oil cooler. When IDG oil temperature is between 40°C and 70°C, the
valve is in the regulating position. This position mixes uncooled oil from
the IDG and cooled oil from the IDG Oil Cooler and returns it to the
IDG.
FILTER CLOGGED
A clogged filter indication is provided by a local visual Delta Pressure
pop-out Indicator (DPI). In case of clogging filter condition, the visual
indicator pops out. The DPI reset can be done in some conditions and
associated with maintenance procedures. When the filter is clogged, the
relief valve opens.
TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE MONITORING
Temperature sensors sense the IDG oil inlet and oil outlet temperatures.
The Generator Control Unit (GCU) monitors the oil outlet sensor for
indication on the ECAM and for advisory and overheat
detection/indication. The GCU compares the oil in and oil out temperature
to determine the IDG internal temperature rise. From this data, the GCU
can determine if there is an internal IDG problem or an external cooling
problem. An open circuit of the IDG oil outlet temperature sensor is a
class 3 fault, and no flight deck effects are presented. The GCU will
automatically provide the IDG oil inlet temperature plus a nominal
temperature offset and display it as the oil outlet temperature on the
ECAM ELEC page. A pressure switch senses low IDG oil charge
pressure. The switch is monitored by the GCU for the low oil pressure
fault warning.

IDG MONITORING (2)
OIL TEMPERATURE MONITORING
Integrated Drive Generator (IDG) oil temperature sensors monitor the
input and the output oil temperature. If a high difference between the
input and the output temperature is detected, a status message is sent to
the ECAM. The difference is called a temperature rise.
The normal IDG oil inlet temperature is between 40°C to 105°C. When
the oil outlet temperature reaches 142°C, an advisory mode is available
on the lower ECAM. If the oil outlet temperature is equal to or more than
185°C the master caution is triggered, and a manual disconnection is
written on the ECAM. If the oil outlet temperature is more than 200°C
the IDG is automatically disconnected.
OIL PRESSURE MONITORING
A pressure switch operates in case of oil low pressure (lower than 140
psi) not caused by underspeed.
TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE INDICATION
The oil outlet temperature is displayed on the ECAM System Display.
In case of high oil outlet temperature or oil low pressure, the following
warnings are triggered:
- MASTER CAUTION light,
- Single chime,
- The message "ELEC IDG 1(2) OIL OVHT or ELEC IDG 1(2) OIL LO
PR" is displayed on the EWD,
- The FAULT legend on the corresponding IDG P/BSW comes on amber.
The IDG must be disconnected immediately by:
- Opening the safety guard,
- Pushing the IDG P/BSW for a maximum of 3 seconds.
Note: Disconnection is only possible if the related engine is running
above underspeed.
Do not push the disconnect switch if the engine speed is less than idle.
The engine must be stopped for IDG reconnection.
THERMAL IDG DISCONNECTION
If the IDG disconnection is not performed at 185°C, the temperature will
increase and at 200°C an automatic thermal disconnection should occur
to protect the IDG. A warning message is sent to the ECAM system and
a BITE MESSAGE (THERMAL DISCONNECT) is sent to the CFDS.
If this thermal disconnection fails, the message "THERMAL DISC.
FAILED" is sent to the CFDS and a warning message is sent to the ECAM
system.
Note: After a thermal disconnection, the IDG must be replaced.
The class 2 message "IDG OIL DELTA TEMP" is generated by the
system BITE. If there is no difference between the input and the output
temperature, the class 2 message "IDG COOLER" is generated by the
system BITE. In both cases, the "AC GEN MAINTENANCE STATUS"
is displayed on the ECAM STATUS page.

IDG DRIVE PART D/O (3)
GENERAL
The Integrated Drive Generator (IDG) consists of a Constant Speed Drive
(CSD) and an AC generator mounted side by side in a single housing.
The CSD components convert a variable input speed to a constant output
speed. The CSD portion of the IDG is a hydromechanical device that
adds to or subtracts from the variable input speed of the engine gearbox.
The CSD performs this operation by controlled differential action to
maintain the constant output speed required to drive the AC generator.
The IDG is cooled and lubricated by the oil circulation system. The oil
is cooled by an external mounted IDG oil cooler.
IDG DRIVE CONTROL
The Constant Speed Drive converts the variable input speed provided by
the engine gearbox to the constant output speed through the CSD
hydromechanical components.
IDG SPEED CONTROL
The Generator Control Unit (GCU) performs the output speed control
for the IDG via the servovalve control loop whenever several conditions
are met:
- The GCU is powered-up,
- Engine input speed to the IDG is sufficient for speed control to begin,
- No failure is present in the channel to trip the servovalve control circuit.
SERVOVALVE CONTROL LOOP
The servovalve control loop is composed of a hydraulic servovalve
in the IDG and control circuitry in the GCU which includes the
ServoValve Relay (SVR). The output speed control is performed as
follows: the GCU control circuit monitors the Permanent Magnet
Generator (PMG) frequency to determine the generator frequency.
Note that the PMG is mounted on the IDG differential output gear.
The PMG frequency signal is compared with a GCU internal frequency
reference. The difference, between the actual PMG frequency and the
frequency reference, creates an error signal in the servovalve control
loop circuitry. The frequency error signal is then used to control the
servovalve current flow via the SVR.
The servovalve works by porting oil to an hydraulic control cylinder
which determines the position of a variable displacement hydraulic
unit. Depending on the error signal, the servovalve ports more or less
oil to the cylinder to maintain the desired generator frequency (IDG
output speed). As IDG speed (thus PMG frequency) decreases below
the reference frequency setpoint, the servovalve supplies current
increases, resulting in an IDG output speed increase.
During normal operation, the SVR is closed to allow current flow in
the servovalve control loop. Under certain channel failure conditions,
the SVR is opened to make sure that the servovalve drive current from
the GCU is completely removed.
ENGINE SPEED SENSING
The FADEC provides the GCU with the corresponding engine speed
information, which is also used for the underspeed protections.
OIL TEMPERATURE SENSING
There are two oil temperature sensors in the IDG:
- One on the IDG oil inlet port,
- One on the IDG oil outlet port.
Both sensors are thermistors.
The GCU uses the sensor signals to determine oil inlet, oil outlet and rise
temperature for IDG protection. The temperature information is also sent
to the ECAM. If oil outlet temperature is above 185°C, the FAULT legend
comes on amber on the IDG pushbutton.

DELTA PRESSURE INDICATOR (DPI)
The scavenge filter is fitted with an oil filter Differential Pressure
Indicator (DPI). If the delta pressure across the scavenge filter is 50 ± 8
psi, the DPI (pop-out) shows the clogged position. In that case, the IDG
should be serviced.
OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
A Low Oil Pressure (LOP) switch located in the IDG charge oil circuit
provides a signal to the GCU when IDG charge oil pressure is less than
140 psi. In low oil pressure condition, not caused by underspeed, the IDG
pushbutton FAULT legend comes on amber and an ECAM warning is
triggered.
IDG DISCONNECTION
The IDG P/B FAULT legend comes on if the IDG oil pressure is less
than 140 psi or if the IDG oil outlet temperature is above 185°C. In both
conditions, the IDG must immediately be disconnected! IDG
disconnection is achieved by a solenoid activated clutch. It must be
performed, via the IDG switch if the IDG pushbutton FAULT legend is
on. If the temperature reaches 200°C, a solder fuse melts and
automatically releases the disconnect mechanism to open the IDG
disconnect clutch.
When the IDG pushbutton is depressed and no underspeed is detected,
a 28V DC signal is sent to the disconnection solenoid which will open
the clutch.
In case of low oil pressure due to underspeed, the FAULT legend remains
off. In underspeed condition, it is not possible to disconnect the IDG.
After a thermal disconnection, the IDG must be changed.
IDG reset must be performed on the ground with the engine shutdown,
by pulling the reset ring mounted on the IDG casing.
FIRE SWITCH
In case of engine fire, if the related fire switch is pressed in, a 28V DC
signal is sent to the corresponding GCU, which shuts down its IDG. In
such a case, the reset of the GCU is not required.

IDG GENERATOR PART D/O (3)
GENERAL
The AC generator portion of the Integrated Drive Generator (IDG) is a
three-phase, brushless, spray oil cooled unit.
The generator rotor consists of an exciter rotor, a diode rectifier assembly,
and a two-pole main field rotor. The exciter rotor and main field rotor
are mounted on a common shaft supported by a roller bearing set at the
drive end and a ball bearing set at the opposite end.
The Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG) rotor is mounted on the output
ring gear of the differential assembly.
The main generator stator, exciter stator, PMG stator and generator
Current Transformer (CT) are mounted in the IDG housing.
PERMANENT MAGNET GENERATOR (PMG)
The PMG consists of a 16-pole permanent magnet rotor and a
three-winding stator. As the engine is running, the PMG rotor induces
an AC voltage in the windings of the PMG stator.
At normal operation speed, the output from the PMG is:
- 3 phases
- 1681,3 Hz
- 110V AC.
The output of the PMG is supplied to the Generator Control Unit
(GCU) which uses it for the following functions:
- The GCU transforms and rectifies the voltage via a Transformer
Rectifier (TR) to 28V DC for the internal power supply.
- The GCU sends the PMG voltage via the Generator Control Relay
(GCR) to the voltage and frequency regulation circuit where it is
rectified and applied to the exciter field for voltage regulation.
The PMG frequency is also used to monitor the generator frequency
(for the IDG drive control).
GENERATOR EXCITER STAGE
The exciter stage of the generator consists of a three-phase winding
rotor which is located on the main generator rotor shaft. The stator
windings and a full wave bridge rectifier (rotating diode rectifier) are
also located on the rotor shaft. As it rotates, the exciter stage converts
a DC field voltage to an AC voltage. The AC voltage is rectified by
the rotating diode rectifier and is supplied to the main generator rotor.
MAIN GENERATOR
The main generator consists of a two-pole rotor and a three-phase
winding stator. As the rotor rotates, the DC field induces an AC
voltage in the stator windings.
CURRENT TRANSFORMER
Current Transformers (CTs) monitor the 3-phase feeder cables, from
the Generator to the GLC. The GCUs use the CT outputs for protection
functions (differential current, overcurrent, overload). One CT is
located inside the IDG and the other is just before the GLC. They are
called the 3-Hole Current Transformers.
From the engine pylon to the forward cargo compartment, each feeder
cable is split into two, so that there are now two cables per phase (total
6). Another CT, located in the forward cargo compartment, monitors
the 6-feeder cables. It is called the 6-Hole Current Transformer. The
GCU monitors its current output for open cable protection.
GENERATOR P/BSW
The GEN P/BSW on the overhead ELEC panel is used to connect or
disconnect the generator and to reset the GCU.
When the GEN P/BSW is pressed in (on position) and the generator is
not connected, the GEN COMMAND circuit is supplied, enabling the
closure of the GCR to excite the generator. If all generator parameters
are correct, the Power Ready Relay (PRR) closes and connects power to
the Generator Line Contactor (GLC) via the GLC AUX RELAY. The

GLC opens or closes to connect 115V AC to the network according to
priority rules and the network supply status.
The FAULT legend comes on amber (in the on position only) in the
following cases:
- The related engine is shutdown or the generator is not connected
- During operation with any incorrect parameter
- If the GLC has failed open (STUCK OPEN)
When the GEN P/BSW is released out (off position), the OFF/R legend
appears in white. The GCR opens to de-energize the generator field and
the GLC opens.
In addition, the computer reset circuit is supplied to reset the GCU.
IDG P/BSW
The IDG P/BSW is used for manual disconnection of the IDG from the
engine gearbox. If the internal FAULT legend comes on, the IDG must
immediately be disconnected.
With the engine stopped, the IDG cannot be manually disconnected. An
underspeed condition, generated by the GCU, inhibits the disconnection.
Notice that for a static test of the IDG disconnect mechanism, the circuit
breaker 2XU1 must be pulled to simulate a running engine 1 and no
underspeed.
POINT OF REGULATION
The Point Of Regulation (POR) is located between the 3-hole CT and
the GLC. It takes in to account the generator feeder impedance (voltage
drop of 1 to 2V AC).
The GCU monitors the three-generator phase voltages at the POR for:
- Voltage regulation control,
- Over and undervoltage protection,
- Incorrect Phase Sequence protection.
VOLTAGE REGULATION
The GCU monitors the POR in order to keep the voltage at nominal value
(115V AC) at this point.
The principle of operation of the voltage regulator is by modulation of
the voltage through the exciter field.
The output from the PMG is connected via the GCR to the excitation and
regulation control module, where it is converted into DC voltage and
applied to the exciter field.
The voltage frequency regulation module senses the average of the three
phases at the POR and compares it against a reference voltage.
If a difference exists, the voltage regulator adjusts the exciter field current
as needed to keep a constant voltage at the POR.
UNDERSPEED
Each GCU receives engine speed data from the Full Authority Digital
Engine Control (FADEC) via an ARINC 429 bus. These data are used
for the underspeed setpoint, various other controls and protections and
BITE functions.
If these data are not available, the GCU uses the PMG frequency to
determine the input speed of the generator.
With the engine speed below the underspeed setpoint, the relay 7XT is
energized and inhibits an IDG disconnection.

AC MAIN GENERATION D/O (3)
IDG
Two identical Integrated Drive Generators (IDGs) are used to supply the
main AC network.
Each IDG is a two-pole high-speed (24 000 rpm) brush less spray oil
cooled unit.
It comprises the drive part and the generator part in a common housing.
The generator part has a Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG), an exciter
generator with rotating diodes and the main generator.
Each IDG is controlled and monitored by its own Generator Control Unit
(GCU).
GCU
Each Generator Control Unit (GCU) is supplied by the PMG from its
related IDG and, as a back-up, through the battery bus 301PP. The related
engine under speed information is given by the Full Authority Digital
Engine Control (FADEC).
The main functions of the GCU are:
- control of the field excitation via the Generator Control Relay (GCR),
- voltage regulation via the Excitation Control and Regulation module,
- speed regulation through the ServoValve Relay (SVR),
- control of the Generator Line Contactor (GLC) via the Power Ready
Relay (PRR), the Bus Tie Contactor (BTC) and the AUX RELAY 1,
- control and protection of the IDG and the network.
GENERATOR P/BSW
The generator P/BSW is used to connect or disconnect the generator
output to or from the bus bar, and to reset the GCU.
The FAULT legend comes on when the P/BSW is pressed in and the
related engine is shutdown or during operation if any parameter is not
correct. The fault information is sent via the SDACs to the ECAM.
The OFF legend comes on when the P/BSW is released out. After a fault
detection (tripping of the generator), cycling the GEN 1(2) switch
OFF/ON resets the GCU.
GEN 1 LINE P/BSW
In SMOKE configuration (red smoke light on) an activation of this P/BSW
opens the GLC but the generator stays energized to supply directly the
fuel pumps 1 LH and 1 RH side (the OFF legend indicates, the P/BSW
position).
Notice that during the AVIONICS SMOKE procedure (GEN 1 LINE
P/BSW OFF), the related generator FAULT light remains off.
GLC/BTC CONTROL AND MONITORING
The GLC and the BTC are under control of the related GCU and the Bus
Tie Logic.
If all parameters are correct, the GLC connects the generator to its own
bus bar.
The BTC connects the generator to the transfer line or another power
source to the bus bar (with generator off) depending on the priority logic.

INTERFACES
The GCU interfaces with:
- The engine fire pushbutton switch. When pushed in, the generator is
de-energized.
- Both SDACs for the ECAM monitoring.
- The CFDIU through the GAPCU (BITE type 1 data to CFDIU)
- The FADEC which gives the engine speed information.
OPERATION
In normal operation all internal relays of the GCU are energized. Through
the energized contacts of the PRR, the de-energized contact of the BTC
and the energized contacts of the AUX relay, the Generator Line Contactor
(GLC) is then energized. The de-energized state of the BTC makes sure
that there is no supply to the BUS before the Generator takes over the
supply.

GEN FAULT
If the GEN pushbutton is in the "on" position and the PRR of the GCU
is not energized, the fault light on the GEN pushbutton comes on by
a ground due to the pushbutton position. The PRR is de-energized,
among other reasons, when the voltage and frequency are not in
tolerance. If the engine is not started, there is no regulation possible
for both voltage and frequency. Therefore, the FAULT lighting is
normal when the engine is not running.

GCU D/O (3)
GENERAL
The Generator Control Unit (GCU) 1 and 2 are identical and
interchangeable. Pin programming provides the GCU with the following
information:
- the aircraft type,
- the GCU position,
- the current limit for voltage regulation,
- the load limit.
The main functions of the GCU are:
- regulation of the generator voltage,
- regulation of the generator frequency,
- regulation of the generator speed (ServoValve (SV) control),
- control and protection of the network and the generator,
- interface with System Data Acquisition Concentrator (SDACs) for the
ECAM,
- interface with Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) for
engine speed,
- interface with Centralized Fault Display System (CFDS) via the Ground
and Auxiliary Power Control Unit (GAPCU).
VOLTAGE REGULATION
The voltage regulation is achieved by regulating the current through the
exciter field. The voltage is kept at a nominal value (115V AC) at the
Point Of Regulation (POR). The POR is located at the end of the generator
feeder upstream of the Generator Line Contactor (GLC). The output from
the Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG) is connected via the Generator
Control Relay (GCR) to the excitation and regulation control module for
frequency monitoring use.
FREQUENCY REGULATION
The Integrated Drive Generator (IDG) frequency is regulated by a
servovalve in the IDG and the servovalve control circuit in the GCU (via
the SV relay).
The PMG frequency is compared with a GCU internal reference
frequency. The difference generates a control current to drive the
servovalve to produce the right output frequency.
CONTROL AND PROTECTION
The GCU control and protection functions are mainly performed by 3
internal relays:
- the GCR controls the generator excitation,
- the Power Ready Relay (PRR) controls the GLC,
- the SV relay controls the IDG speed.
If a protection function is triggered, the GCR, the PRR and, in some cases
the SV relay, are de-energized.
UNDERSPEED
Engine speed information provided by FADEC is used to sense the
IDG input speed. When engine speed falls below the underspeed
threshold the PRR trips and the excitation is biased off due to
underfrequency. In case of an absent FADEC speed signal to the GCU,
a back-up signal is provided by the engine master switch to inform
the GCU logic that the engine will shut down.
Note: in case of detected underspeed (e.g. engine shut down) no reset
action via the GEN P/BSW is required.
OVERVOLTAGE
The GCU performs an overvoltage protection function. If the highest
individual phase at POR reaches 130 ± 1.5 volts, the PRR and the
GCR are tripped.
The higher is the voltage, the faster the relays will be tripped.

OVERFREQUENCY
The GCU performs an overfrequency protection function. If the
frequency is above 435 ± 1Hz, for at least 4 seconds, the GCU trips
the PRR and the GCR. If the frequency is above 452 Hz, for at least
160 milliseconds, the GCU trips the PRR, the GCR and also the SV
relay.
OVERLOAD / OVERCURRENT
The IDG Current Transformers (CTs) provide current sensing
information to the GCU. This information is used to determine
generator load for overload, overcurrent, phase imbalance (delta) and
also Differential Current Protection. In case of overload, the GCU
sends signals to the SDAC for an ECAM message and to the FAULT
light on the GALY & CAB P/BSW.
If an IDG fails, the Bus Tie Contactors (BTCs) close and some galleys
loads are automatically shed.
GCUs monitor BTC status and determine if overcurrent protection
(BTC lockout) should be inhibited. If the galleys are not automatically
shed the BTC lockout is inhibited, to allow the GALY & CAB P/BSW
to be selected OFF.

ENGINE FIRE AND OPEN FEEDER CABLE PROTECTION
The feeder cables are duplicated from the engine pylon to the forward
cargo compartment. A 6 hole CT monitors each cable. If an open cable
is detected, or if the ENG FIRE P/BSW is released out, the GCU trips
the GCR and the PRR. The GLC opens after the PRR trips.
DIFFERENTIAL CURRENT PROTECTION
The Differential Protection is based on the comparison of each phase of
the Line 3-hole CT and the CTs in the IDG. If a differential current flow
is above 50 ± 10A for at least 60 milliseconds, the PRR and GCR are
tripped.
Note: the Differential Protection circuit reset is done via the GEN P/BSW,
but it is limited to two attempts. After correcting the fault a cold reset
must be performed.

GCU D/O (3)
PROTECTION FUNCTION SUMMARY
The Generator Control P/BSW has ON and OFF/RESET functions. Switch
all power off and then on again to reset the fault logic; this is called a
cold reset. Most fault protections allow two reset attempts and then the
reset function is inhibited.
BITE
The GCU is a type 1 computer. Its BITE detects and isolates active and
passive failures.
The BITE consists of two sections:
- Operational BITE,
- Maintenance BITE.
After generator tripping, the operational BITE identifies the protection,
analyses the conditions and determines the fault origin.
The maintenance BITE completes the operational BITE and performs a
self-test of the GCU to provide an indication of system integrity. Faults
are kept in the Non Volatile Memory (NVM). The GCU BITE
communicates with the CFDS via the GAPCU (type 1 system).
INTERFACE
Each GCU is interfaced to both SDACs to transmit system failure or
caution data to the ECAM. The Landing Gear Control and Interface unit
(LGCIU) 1 provides ground/flight information to the GCU (BITE).

AC AUXILIARY GENERATION GENERAL DESCRIPTION (2)
APU GENERATOR
The APU generator is not interchangeable with the Integrated Drive
Generators (IDGs).
It is driven at a constant speed by the APU and can be connected to the
electrical network.
It can supply the entire electrical network if no other power sources are
available.
APU GENERATOR CONTROL
The APU Generator control module is part of the Ground and Auxiliary
Power Control Unit (GAPCU).
The main functions of the module are:
- voltage regulation,
- frequency monitoring,
- APU Generator Line Contactor (GLC) control in accordance with the
bus tie logic,
- control and Protection,
- Interface with System Data Acquisition Concentrators (SDACs),
- Built-In Test Equipment (BITE) function. The BITE messages are sent
to the CFDIU.
CONTROL, INDICATION AND DISTRIBUTION
The APU generator is controlled by a P/BSW located on the overhead
ELEC panel and has two lights: white OFF and amber FAULT.
The APU GEN is connected to the network via the APU GLC and the
Bus Tie Contactors (BTCs).

APU GENERATOR
The APU generator can supply all or part of the normal network,
depending on the priority logic given by the bus tie logic. The APU
generator is a two-pole high speed (24 000 rpm) brushless spray oil cooled
generator. Speed regulation is made by the APU engine without a Constant
Speed Drive (CSD); therefore, it operates in the same way but it is not
interchangeable with the Integrated Drive Generators (IDGs).The APU
generator is cooled and lubricated by the APU oil.
An oil temperature bulb is installed on the APU generator oil outlet part.
The bulb is directly connected to the APU Electronic Control Box (ECB).
In case of oil temperature above 185°C, the ECB commands an immediate
shutdown of the APU.
APU GEN CONTROL MODULE (GAPCU)
The APU Generator Control Module is part of the Ground and Auxiliary
Power Control Unit (GAPCU). The GAPCU controls both the APU
generator and the EXT PWR.
The power for the GAPCU is supplied by:
- the APU Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG),
- the EXT PWR,
- the BATtery BUS as a back-up supply.
The control module main functions are:
- control of the field excitation through the Generator Control Relay
(GCR),
- voltage regulation,
- control of the APU Generator Line Contactor (GLC) through the Power
Ready Relay (PRR) in conjunction with the bus tie logic,
- control and protection of the APU generator and the network.
The GAPCU has an interface with the SDAC and to the CFDIU.
APU ECB carries out the speed regulation. At 95% rpm, the ECB sends
an APU ready signal to the GAPCU.
APU GEN CONTROL AND MONITORING
The APU generator switch is used to connect or disconnect the APU
generator and to reset the GAPCU.
- The FAULT legend only comes on if the switch is pressed in, the APU
is running (>95%), and one parameter is not correct.
- The OFF legend comes on when the switch is released out.
After a fault detection (tripping of the generator), the GAPCU must be
reset by setting the switch to OFF and back to ON.
The APU Generator Line Contactor (GLC) is under control of the GAPCU
and the bus tie logic. If all generator parameters are correct, the AGLC
connects the generator to the transfer line. The connection to the busbars
depends on the priority logic and the network supply status (BTCs and
GLCs).
TRANSFER CIRCUIT
The transfer circuit has a transfer line and the two BTCs. This circuit lets
the power sources (GEN 1, 2, APU, External Power) supply all or half
of the network according to the priority and the bus tie logic.
The bus tie logic gives information about the network supply status. This
information is used for:
- Non parallel operation,
- Supply priority,
- Transfer circuit control.
APU GEN FEEDER CABLES
The feeder cables are routed through the cabin ceiling to the rear C/B
panel in the cockpit where they are sent through a 3-hole current
transformer before connection to the APU GLC. The Current Transformer
(CT) gives differential current protection.

OPERATION
The purpose of this paragraph is to describe the operation of the APU
with or without GEN1.
ONLY APU RUNNING
With the APU running and the APU GEN pushbutton in the ON
position, the connection to the transfer network is only possible if one
or both of the IDG Generators are offline and the External electrical
power not connected. Two sets of contacts from the de-energized EPC
AUX relay and the contacts from the de-energized EPC make sure
that the APU GLC voltage supply is interrupted even if the PRR of
the APU Generator GCU is energized.
If the EPC AUX and the EPC are de-energized (no ground electrical
power) the contacts of the IDG's GLCs and the BTCs will then
determine if the APU GLC will be energized. If the IDG's GLCs are
de-energized and the BTCs are energized, the APU GLC is then
energized and the APU generator supplies the transfer network.

EXTERNAL POWER CONTROL
NORMAL PARAMETERS
If the external power parameters are correct, the indicator lights on
the external power panel and the AVAILable light on the EXT PWR
P/BSW come on. The power parameters are monitored by the Ground
and Auxiliary Power Control Unit (GAPCU) which activates the
indicator lights. With such indications the ground cart can supply the
aircraft network. When the EXT PWR P/BSW is pushed, the ON blue
legend illuminates and the GAPCU closes the External Power
Contactor (EPC) to supply the aircraft electrical network. The Bus
Tie Contactors (BTCs) 1 and 2 close if no engine driven generator is
on line.
The blue ON light, in the EXT PWR P/BSW, indicates that the EPC
is closed.
ABNORMAL PARAMETERS
If any external power parameter is not correct, the indicator lights
stay off. The external power cannot be connected to the aircraft
network.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Avoid use of the APU if APU BLEED air is not necessary.
Turn-off unused ground service equipment (GPU, Air conditioning
cart, etc...) if no work is being done or nobody is present on the
aircraft.

EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY D/O (3)
GENERAL
The Ground Power Unit (GPU) supplies the Transfer Circuit through the
External Power Contactor (EPC).
A Ground and Auxiliary Power Control Unit (GAPCU) controls and
protects the connection and disconnection of the GPU and the APU
generator to the network.
GROUND POWER CONTROL & MONITORING
DESCRIPTION
The 115V AC, 400 Hz, 3 phase output of the GPU is connected to the
aircraft network through the EPC and Bus Tie Contactors (BTCs).
The GAPCU monitors permanently the quality of the delivered ground
power. The monitoring and control of the connection and
disconnection is made by two internal relays. The Interlock Monitoring
Relay (IMR) and the Power Ready Relay (PRR). At least one faulty
parameter opens both relays.
PRR AND IMR POWER SUPPLY
The IMR is energized when:
- The interlock voltage is more than 13V DC, less than 42V DC and
less than 60V AC.
- All control and protection parameters are valid.
The PRR is energized when:
- The external power interlock is valid,
- And all parameters are correct.
The annunciators NOT IN USE and AVAILABLE located on the
external power panel are ON.
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION (PTC)
If a short circuit occurs on the PRR output line sensed by the Positive
Temperature Coefficient (PTC) sensor, the red PTC TRIP LED on
the front face of the GAPCU comes on and a BITE message is sent
to the Centralized Fault Display System (CFDS).
OPERATION
EXT PWR NOT IN USE (AVAILABLE)
When the Maintenance Bus switch is selected to ON, the Not In Use
legend comes off on the External Electrical power panel and the GPU
then supplies the A/C service buses. The AVAIL legend remains on,
on the 35VU.

When the External Power (EXT PWR) P/B switch is pressed
(momentary switch action), the flip flop sends a ground signal to the
solenoid of the EPC auxiliary relay 5XG. The relay connects power
from 1000XG to the GLC/BTC logic. Depending on the supply status
the logic will authorize the closure of the EPC.
At the External Power panel:
- The NOT IN USE light will extinguish,
- The AVAIL light remains ON.
On the EXT PWR switch in the cockpit:
- The AVAIL light extinguishes,
- The ON light comes ON.

GAPCU D/O (3)
GENERAL
The Ground and Auxiliary Power Control Unit (GAPCU) controls the
APU Generator (GEN) and the External Power System. The APU
Generator Line Contactor (GLC), the External Power Contactor (EPC)
and their related Auxiliary Relays can only close when the correct
conditions exist. They are opened manually or automatically, by the
control and protection circuits.
The GAPCU also performs BITE analysis and communication, and
interfaces with other systems:
- Generator Control Units (GCUs),
- APU Electronic Control Box (ECB),
- Centralized Fault Display Interface Unit (CFDIU),
- System Data Acquisition Concentrators (SDACs),
- Landing Gear Control and Interface Unit (LGCIU) 1.
POWER SUPPLY
The GAPCU internal power supply module can be supplied by the
external power or the APU GEN via internal Transformer/Rectifiers
(TRs). The supply module also has a back up supply from the BAT BUS.
EXT PWR CONTROL
The GAPCU performs the following functions for the external power
control and BITE:
- monitoring,
- interlock function,
- External Power Contactor (EPC) control,
- protection,
- BITE function,
- communication and interface.
MONITORING
The GAPCU permanently monitors the quality of the external power
supply. A faulty parameter automatically disconnects the external
power from the transfer line opening the Power Ready Relay (PRR)
to open the EPC, and Interlock Monitoring Relay (IMR) to trip the
ground cart. In some GAPCU failure conditions, the back-up card can
control the PRR, so that the external power can still be connected to
the aircraft. In these cases, after a "cold reset" the PRR closes and the
external power is supplied to the aircraft with limited protection. In
that case, no bite function is available.
EPC CONTROL
The closed PRR provides 28V DC to the solenoid of the EPC AUX
relay (5XG). The AUX relay is responsible for opening and closing
of the main contactor (EPC). The EPC AUX relay is also responsible
for the priority switching, i.e. the External Power over the APU GEN.
When the EXT PWR P/BSW is pressed the FLIP/FLOP provides a
fixed ground signal to close the EPC AUX relay. Depending on the
network supply status, the EPC AUX relay connects power via the
de-energized APU GLC, to the EPC. The EPC then connects the GPU
to the transfer line. When the EXT PWR P/BSW is pressed again, the
FLIP/FLOP removes the ground so that the AUX relay and EPC open.
PROTECTION
The GAPCU performs the following protection functions for the
external power:
- over and under voltage,
- over and under frequency,
- over current,
- overload,
- EXT PWR interlock,
- Incorrect Phase Sequence (IPS),
- open cable or open/short circuit,

- EPC failure.
The Over Voltage (OV) protection is accomplished by monitoring
the highest phase voltage at the Point Of Reference (POR). An OV
condition exists when the highest phase voltage exceeds 130 +/- 1,5V
AC. After an inverse delay, the IMR, PRR and EPC are tripped.
The Under Voltage (UV) is sensed in the same way as OV. An UV
condition exists when the lowest phase voltage is less than 101,5 +/-
1,5V AC. After a 4,5 second time delay max, the PRR, IMR and EPC
are tripped.
An over current on the wiring between the PRR and the aircraft bus
(1000XG) will change the status of the Positive Temperature
Coefficient (PTC) sensor (high impedance). The sensor then provides
a signal to switch on the red PTC LED on the front face of the GAPCU
and sends a BITE message to the Centralized Fault Display System
(CFDS).
The PTC and the PTC LED are only supplied if the EXT PWR remains
connected to the receptacle (i.e. PRR is still closed). The LED is not
a "latched" status signal. Thus, if a short circuit does exist, and the
LED is illuminated, it will go off as soon as the external power is
removed from the receptacle.
APU GEN CONTROL
The main functions are:
- control of the field excitation through the Generator Control Relay
(GCR),
- voltage regulation,
- control of the APU GLC through the PRR in conjunction with the
BTC/GLC logic,
- control and protection of the APU GEN and the network.
APU P/BSW
The APU GEN P/BSW is used to connect or disconnect the APU
GEN and to reset the APU GEN control part. After a fault detection
(tripping of the generator), the control and must be reset by setting
the P/BSW to OFF and back to on.
APU GLC CONTROL AND MONITORING
The APU GLC is under control of the APU GLC AUX relay and the
GLC/BTC logic. If all APU GEN parameters are correct, the APU
GLC connects the APU GEN power to the transfer line.
OVERHEAT PROTECTION
An oil temperature bulb is installed on the APU GEN oil outlet port.
The bulb is directly connected to the APU ECB. In case of oil
temperature above 185°C, the ECB commands an immediate shutdown
of the APU.
COMMUNICATION AND INTERFACE
The GAPCU is connected with the GCUs, the CFDIU and the SDACs.
WITH THE GCU
The GAPCU communicates with the two GCUs via MIL-STD 1553
links.
WITH THE CFDIU
The GAPCU is the CFDS interface for the enhanced Electrical Power
Generation System (EPGS). The GAPCU communicates with the
CFDIU via ARINC 429 links. During normal mode of transmission,
the GAPCU continuously sends its own and the two GCUs fault data,
to the CFDIU.
WITH THE SDAC
The GAPCU continuously communicates with the SDACs via ARINC
429 links. The SDACs provide system data and fault data to the
ECAM.

TR2 FAILURE WITH MAINT BUS SW ON
If the GND/FLT buses are supplied (MAINT BUS switch on) and TR2
has an internal overheat (T>172°C) the MAINT BUS switch trips off
because relay 6XX is de-energized. Thus, relays 12XX and 14XX are
also de-energized so there is no power supply to any of the AC and DC

BUS TIE LOGIC D/O (3)
GENERAL
The Bus Tie Logic is responsible for the following tasks:
- No parallel operation of two power sources on the transfer line or
busbars.
- Automatic power transfer in case of a supply failure.
- The priority of Power Sources to supply the AC BUSES.
The order of these priorities is:
1- On side Integrated Drive Generator (IDG) to own busbars, the IDG 1
to AC BUS 1 and the IDG 2 to AC BUS 2.
2- External Power (EXT PWR).
3- APU Generator (APU GEN).
4- Opposite IDG (IDG 1 to AC BUS 1 and 2 or IDG 2 to AC BUS 2 and
1).
BATTERIES CONNECTED
With battery power only, the BTCs are closed because all the other
contactors and auxiliary relays are open. The BTC power supply is from
the BAT BUS. When APU GEN or EXT PWR are available, the BTC
power supply is provided by the Ground and Auxiliary Power Control
Unit (GAPCU).
Note: The BTC ground path is provided by the related Generator Control
Unit (GCU). This is a protection against Over Current. It inhibits an
automatic transfer to a network fault, by inhibiting the BTC close logic
(BTC lockout).

GALY & CAB AND COMMERCIAL P/BSW
If either the GALY & CAB P/BSW or the COMMERCIAL P/BSW is
off, all galley power is removed. If the COMMERCIAL P/BSW is pressed
in and the GALY & CAB P/BSW is off, all galley power is removed but
the commercial buses are still supplied. Related messages are sent to the
ECAM. The GALY & CAB P/BSW amber legend comes on if a generator
overload is detected.
OPERATION
With the GALY & CAB and COMMERCIAL P/BSWs on and normal
electrical configuration, relays 5XA, 6XA and 9XA control the galley
feeder contactors and all galley buses are supplied.
NOTE: On A321 aircraft, an additional relay 11XA controls the galley
feeder contactor 5MC.
IN FLIGHT WITH ONE GENERATOR ONLY
In flight and with one AC generator online, the primary galley power
supply is automatically shed. In single generator operation both Bus
Tie Contactors (BTCs) energize thus de-energizing relay(s) 6XA (and
11XA for A321) which accomplishes the shedding action.

The GALY & CAB P/BSW FAULT light comes on if a Generator Control
Unit (GCU) detects an IDG overload or the GAPCU detects an APU
generator overload. An IDG overload does not automatically shed galley
power, but an ECAM message is triggered. Switch off the galley power
manually to unload the generator. On the ground, an APU generator
overload automatically sheds all the galley power.

AC GENERATION INTERFACES (3)
COMMUNICATION
The Ground and Auxiliary Power Control Unit (GAPCU) is the interface
between the Generator Control Unit (GCU) 1 and 2 and the Centralized
Fault Display Interface Unit (CFDIU).
GCU/GAPCU
The GAPCU receives fault data from GCU 1 and 2, on MIL-STD 1553
data links. It transmits the GCU fault data and its own fault data, to the
CFDIU, on an ARINC 429 data bus.
For BITE and TEST, the GAPCU and the GCUs can be individually
interrogated from the MCDU.
The interface is always through the CFDIU and the GAPCU.
GAPCU/CFDIU
The GAPCU transmits the fault message in clear english language to the
CFDIU by ARINC 429 input/output buses (Type 1).
The maintenance test can be performed only on ground with engine shut
down. It is initiated either:
- Automatically at each GAPCU power-up.
- Or manually from the MCDU.

IDG REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (3)
IDG REMOVAL
Before removing the IDG the engine must be shutdown for at least 5
minutes to prevent burns because the oil stays hot for a few minutes. First
of all, the IDG must be drained and the oil tube disconnected and
removed. Also remove the banjo couplings and note their initial position,
then disconnect the three electrical connectors from the IDG. Remove
the cover plate of the IDG terminal box and disconnect the output cables.
Next, place the special dolly in position and raise it up to the IDG. When
the IDG is on the dolly release the Quick Attach/Detach coupling, then
pull the IDG forward to disengage it.
NOTE: Refer to your Aircraft Maintenance Manual when performing
this operation. This film is made on IAE engine but the
procedure is similar on CFM and PW engines.

AC EMERGENCY GENERATION D/O (3)
GENERATOR
The Constant Speed Motor/Generator (CSM/G) has a hydraulic motor,
which drives a generator. The hydraulic motor is pressurized by the blue
hydraulic system through an integrated solenoid valve. The hydraulic
motor speed is regulated by a servo valve. The generator operation
principle is identical to that of the main or auxiliary generation. The
generator output characteristics are:
- three phase 115/200V AC,
- 400 Hz (12000 rpm),
- output power: 5 kVA continuously.
CSM/G CONTROL UNIT SUPPLY
During transient configuration, battery 2 and then the Permanent Magnet
Generator (PMG) supply the CSM/G control unit and the exciter field
through a voltage regulation module. The voltage regulation module
maintains the Point Of Regulation (POR) at a nominal voltage value
(115V AC).

GENERATOR MONITORING
The CSM/G operation is monitored by a red FAULT light. The FAULT
light activation is controlled by either Battery Charge Limiter (BCL) 1
or 2. During transient configuration, or if the generator is faulty, there is
no ESS Transformer Rectifier (TR) output, thus the FAULT light comes
on.

EMER ELECTRICAL POWER LOGIC DESCRIPTION (3)
EMERGENCY GENERATION AUTOMATIC OPERATION
If AC BUS 1 and 2 are lost above a given airspeed (100 kts), the Ram
Air Turbine (RAT) will extend automatically. As the AC generator is not
yet available, the AC ESSential BUS and DC ESS BUS are respectively
supplied by the STATic INVerter and battery 2. The activation of the
emergency generator via the blue hydraulic system takes place only if
the landing gear is not compressed. When the emergency generator is
available, it supplies the AC ESS BUS and via ESS Transformer Rectifier
(TR), the DC ESS BUS. As the nose landing gear is compressed, the AC
ESS BUS and DC ESS BUS are respectively supplied by the STAT INV
and the battery 2.

RAT ACTIVATION (3)
AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION
In flight, when the two AC main buses are lost and when speed is higher
than 100 kts, Ram Air Turbine (RAT) solenoid 1 is energized by HOT
BATtery BUS 1 and the RAT extends automatically. In addition, the
Constant Speed Motor/Generator (CSM/G) control unit activates the
CSM/G solenoid valve using battery 2 and the generator starts running.
After relay 22XE time delay, RAT solenoid 1 is de-energized and the
CSM/G solenoid valve is supplied by Permanent Magnet Generator
(PMG).
NOTE: The diagram shows the system before relay 22XE time delay
elapsed (RAT solenoid 1 still energized, solenoid valve supplied
by BAT 2).

CSM/G GCU D/O (3)
GENERATOR CONTROL
The automatic control logic being set, the Generator Control Unit (GCU)
internal 28V DC bus is supplied by battery 2 through relay K3. Relay
K1 is then energized, allowing the solenoid control valve to be supplied
by the internal bus (still on battery 2). Relay K3 is held closed by the
GCU internal supply via relay K2 and the time delay-opening transistor.
When the emergency generator parameters are correct (voltage and
frequency above voltage and frequency threshold), or after 10 s equal to
the Constant Speed Motor/Generator (CSM/G) start sequence, relay K2
closes. The Generator Line Contactor (GLC) closes and relay K3 is
de-energized, allowing the solenoid control valve power supply change
over from battery 2 to the Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG). The
CSM/G can also be started manually via the MANual ON P/BSW.
SPEED REGULATION
The speed regulation module of the control unit electrically controls the
servo-valve, which regulates the hydraulic motor speed. The GCU
maintains the CSM/G at constant speed by:
- monitoring the frequency of the PMG,
- and comparing it with a quartz crystal controlled reference.
The resulting error signal is then used to control the CSM/G servo-valve
to a more open or close position.
VOLTAGE REGULATION
The PMG supplies the exciter field through a voltage regulation module.
The GCU maintains the CSM/G output voltage constant by monitoring
the voltage at the Point Of Regulation (POR). The output voltage is
compared to 115V AC reference and used as an operational error to
regulate the field current.
NOTE: The diagram shows the system in normal configuration (K3
de-energized, solenoid control valve supplied by PMG).

GENERATOR MONITORING
The protection module protects the network and the generator by
controlling the related GLC, the generator field current and the solenoid
control valve. The protections are the following:
- over/under voltage,
- over/under frequency,
- shorted PMG,
- fast over speed shutdown.
When a failure is detected, relay K1 opens to de-energize the solenoid
control valve: The generator stops operating. The MAN ON P/BSW must
be pressed in to reset the protection module and to recover the solenoid
control valve power supply.
NOTE: The diagram shows the system after fault detection, and before
the generator stops (solenoid control valve de-energized). The
MAN ON P/BSW is not pressed in yet.

CSM/G GCU D/O (3)
OPERATION
When the emergency generator is operating (frequency and voltage in
tolerance) and supplying the ESSential bus network, it will do so as long
as the A/C remains above 100kts and the main L/G is not compressed.
In emergency power condition (AC buses not powered, A/C in flight,
and Airspeed greater than 100kts) the automatic control logic being set,
the Generator Control Unit (GCU) internal 28V DC bus is supplied by
battery 2 through relay K3. Relay K1 is then energized, allowing the
solenoid control valve to be supplied by the internal bus (still on battery
2). Relay K3 is held closed by the GCU internal supply via relay K2 and
the time delay-opening transistor.
The emergency generator stops as soon as the airspeed is below 100kts
and the A/C is on ground. At 100kts a ground is removed from relay 3PH
thus allowing for a discrete to be supplied to the CSM/G CU as soon as
the Main L/G compresses. After a 400ms delay the GCU de-energizes
relay K2 and K1, which in turn causes the EMER GLC to de-energize,
and the stoppage of the servo control of the generator respectively.
When the EMERgency GENerator test pushbutton 16XE is pressed in,
relay 3PH energizes simulating a loss of AC BUS 1 and AC BUS 2 and
a speed higher than 100 kts. The generator then comes online supplying
the ESSential bus network until 16XE is released.

16XE, 20XE, 21XE and 22XE all de-energize returning the A/C electrical
power distribution network to normal. Relay 30XE contacts remain in
the energized state (time delay open) for several seconds to ensure that
the RAT solenoid does not activate a RAT extension. Relay 3PH contacts
then send the Landing Gear compressed discrete to the EMERgency

AC ESSENTIAL BUS SWITCHING (3)
NORMAL CONFIGURATION
In normal configuration, the aircraft electrical network is normally
supplied and the AC ESSential BUS is directly connected to AC BUS 1.
Contactor 3XC1 is energized under several conditions:
- AC BUS 1 is supplied,
- 3XC2 is in de-energized position,
- 12XE and 2XE not energized (EMER GEN not operative),
- AC ESS FEED P/BSW (11XC) in normal position (pressed in). The
status of AC ESS BUS SWITCHING contactors (3XC1 and 3XC2), the
position of the AC ESS FEED P/BSW (11XC) and the AC source
supplying the AC ESS network are sent to the SDACs for display on the
AC ELEC ECAM page.

AC ESSENTIAL BUS SWITCHING (3)
AC BUS 1 LOSS
AUTO SWITCHING FUNCTION
Automatic switching is done in flight and on ground if the AC ESS
FEED P/BSW (11XC) is pressed in (normal position).
As soon as AC BUS 1 is not supplied, the following events occur
(provided AC BUS 2 is supplied):
- 3XC1 is de-energized and 20XN1 provides ground to 17XC through
20 XN2,
- after 3 seconds (17 XC time delay ), 3XC2 is energized.
The AC ESS network is recovered automatically from AC BUS 2.
NOTE: During the time delay of 3 seconds, there is a possibility of
manual switching by the flight crew.
If Airspeed > 50 kts (from ADIRU1), 7XB is energized. 17XC is
self-grounded through 20XN2, 7XB, and 11XC.
If the AC BUS 1 is recovered, AC ESS BUS remains on AC BUS 2.
If the AC ESS FEED P/BSW 11XC is cycled (released out and pushed
back in), AC ESS BUS will switch back to the AC BUS 1. If Airspeed
< 50 KTS, 7XB is de-energized. So, if the AC BUS 1 is recovered,
AC ESS BUS will automatically switch back to the AC BUS 1.

AC/DC SHEDDABLE BUS SUPPLY (3)
NORMAL CONFIGURATION
The AC and DC ESSential BUSes supply the AC and DC ESS
SHEDdable BUS via the control relays 8XH and 8PH. The open or closed
position of the relays 8XH and 8PH depends on the network supply status.
EMERGENCY CONFIGURATION
If there is an electrical emergency configuration and the Constant Speed
Motor Generator (CSM/G) fails, the essential network operates with
battery power only. Battery 2 supplies the DC ESS BUS and battery 1
supplies the STATic INVerter (STAT INV), which supplies the AC ESS
BUS. In this condition, the AC and DC SHED BUS are not supplied
because relays 8XH and 8PH are open due to the fact that BATtery ONLY
relays 2XB and 6XB are energized.
NOTE: The AC and DC ESS SHED BUS are also shed during an
EMERgency GENerator TEST, because relays 16XE and 21XE
are energized.

BATTERY ONLY CONFIGURATION
After releasing the BATT Power Switch, relay 12PR will close after 10
minutes.
During these 10 minutes the 12PR keeps the relays 5PR, 8PR, and 11PR
energized.
During ten minutes (time delay in the 12 PR relay), the operator may
select any position on the mode select switch 3QU.
If the operator selects 3QU on off position, the 12PR relay stays energized,
keeping battery power supply during 10 minutes.
If the operator does not switch off the refueling system , the relay 12PR
will cuts off battery power supply to the refuel buses.

DC MAIN GENERATION D/O (3)
TR
There are three identical Transformer Rectifiers (TRs): TR 1, TR 2 and
ESSential TR, each with 200 A output current in continuous operation.
Each TR converts the three phase AC into 28V DC.
BATTERIES
There are two identical nickel-cadmium batteries of 20 cells each. If the
battery voltage is below 26.5V DC, when no other electrical source is
available, a charging cycle is needed by setting the BATtery P/B to ON
and supplying the DC normal network to permit changing. The nominal
capacity of each battery is 23 Ah.
DISTRIBUTION
TR 1, powered from AC BUS 1, supplies DC BUS 1 and DC BAT BUS.
TR 2, powered from AC BUS 2, supplies DC BUS 2. The ESS TR is
either supplied from the AC ESS BUS or the EMERgency GENerator.
It can supply the DC ESS BUS and the DC SHEDdable ESS BUS when
required. The two batteries are connected to the DC BAT BUS. BAT 1
can also supply the STATic INVerter and BAT 2 can supply the DC ESS
BUS.
TR OPERATION
The TRs start to operate as soon as they are supplied by the associated
AC busbar. Automatic switching is provided in case of TR 1 or TR 2
failure to guarantee power supply to all affected DC busbars.
BATTERY OPERATION
BAT 1 and BAT 2 are charged from DC BAT BUS through contactors.
These contactors are controlled by the Battery Charge Limiters (BCLs).
BCL FUNCTIONS
Each BCL controls its battery contactor. The BCLs are identical and
interchangeable. The battery contactors are controlled in order to:
- ensure automatic battery connection for charging,
- protect the battery against thermal runaway and short-circuit,
- prevent complete discharging when the aircraft is on the ground.

DC NORMAL/ESSENTIAL GENERATION SWTG ELEC (3)
NORMAL CONFIGURATION
These circuits control the supply of DC normal busbars and DC ESSential
BUS. They enable:
- their normal supply in normal flight configuration,
- automatic transfer in some failure conditions.
In normal configuration, AC BUS 1 and AC BUS 2 are supplied, so their
respective control relays 20XN1 and 20XN2 are closed. In addition,
Transformer Rectifiers (TRs) 1 and 2 being operational, their respective
line contactors 5PU1 and 5PU2 are closed. This enables DC sub-busbar
103PP to supply the DC BUS 1 contactor 1PC1. Its closure allows the
connection between DC BUS 1 and DC BATtery BUS.

TRANSFORMER RECTIFIER D/O (3)
GENERAL
Three identical Transformer Rectifiers (TRs) are fitted on the aircraft.
They operate as soon as they are supplied. The TRs are supplied with
three phase 115V AC/400 Hz, the DC output voltage for each TR is 28V
DC at 200 A. Each TR controls its contactor via an internal logic.
TR PROTECTION
Each TR control logic consists of an overheat protection and a minimum
current flow detection to isolate the distribution circuit from the TR.
TR 1 NORMAL CONFIGURATION
As soon as AC BUS 1 is supplied, the TR 1 output is delivered to the DC
BUS 1 through TR contactor (5PU1), which is energized when no TR
protection is active. The protection module is supplied by DC sub-busbar
204PP. To reset the TR, the TR ReSeT P/BSW 15PU has to be pushed.
The TR current, voltage as well as the TR contactor position indications
are sent to the ECAM system via System Data Acquisition Concentrator
(SDAC) 1 and 2.

BATTERY SYSTEM D/O (3)
GENERAL
The battery system is composed of two batteries, which are mainly used
to start the APU and supply AC and DC essential network in emergency
configuration. Each battery is associated to one Battery Charge Limiter
(BCL). The BCL ensures battery charge and battery protection by
controlling the battery contactor.
BATTERY DESCRIPTION
The two batteries are identical and interchangeable. Each battery is
ventilated by two ducts. The differential pressure between the cabin and
the outside is used to provide battery ventilation. Each battery has 20
Nickel-Cadmium cells in a stainless steel case. Each battery has a nominal
voltage of 24V DC and a nominal capacity of 23 Ah.
BATTERY CONTROL
Each battery is associated to a BCL, which is controlled by the
corresponding BATtery P/BSW. When the BAT P/BSW is pressed-in
(AUTO position), the BCL controls the battery coupling/uncoupling.
When released-out, the battery is uncoupled from the network and the
white OFF light comes on.
NOTE: In flight, in normal configuration, the batteries are uncoupled
from the network.

INDICATING/MONITORING
Battery parameters such as voltage and current are displayed by the
ECAM. Warnings also appears on the ECAM. The voltmeters, located
on the main ELECtrical control panel, give battery voltage indication
(HOT BUS) even in cold aircraft configuration. The BCLs monitor the
charge of the batteries. In the event of battery thermal runaway or internal
short-circuit, the battery is isolated, the amber FAULT light comes on
and the ECAM system is activated. System failures and BITE data are
sent to the Centralized Fault Display System (CFDS).

BATTERY CHARGE LIMITER D/O (3)
GENERAL
The two Battery Charge Limiters (BCLs) are identical and
interchangeable. Pin programming determines the position of the BCL
and the aircraft type.
PURPOSE
The main function of the BCL is to control the battery contactor and
BATtery FAULT warning. Also, BCL 1 and BCL 2 control the
EMERgency GENerator FAULT warning. The battery contactor control
includes the following functions:
- protection of the battery against thermal runaway or short circuit,
- ensuring battery charging,
- preventing complete discharge,
- ensuring integrity of the HOT BUS,
- assisting the APU starting.
NOTE: BCL 1 and 2 also ensure battery power supply to part of the
network during transient configuration or on ground when no
normal power is available.

BATTERY CHARGE LIMITER D/O (3)
BATTERY CHARGE (BAT P/BSW PRESSED IN)
When battery voltage is lower than 26.5V DC and BAT BUS voltage is
higher than 27V DC (checked by the acquisition module), the battery is
connected via contactor 6PB1. When the charge current sensed by the
battery shunt is less than 4 A decreasing for 10 s on ground or 30 min in
flight or following APU start, the battery is fully charged, the contactor
opens and the battery charge stops.
HOT BUS PROTECTION
In order to maintain the HOT BUS supply, the contactor 6PB1 opens
under these conditions:
- discharge current greater than 100 A for 300 ms,
- discharge current greater than 400 A for 5 ms.
THERMAL RUNAWAY OR SHORT CIRCUIT
PROTECTION
If the charge current is above 10 A and increasing by more than 0.375 A
per minute or the charge current is greater than 150 A for 90 s, the
contactor 6PB1 opens. The short circuit hardware protection detects the
malfunction of the battery and stops the supply of the BCL.
COMPLETE DISCHARGE PROTECTION
On ground, when the battery voltage is lower than 23V DC for 15 s, the
BCL supply contactor opens automatically.
EMERGENCY CONFIGURATION
The batteries are connected to the BAT BUS after landing in emergency
configuration. The battery contactors 6PB1 and 6PB2 are closed by BCLs
when the aircraft speed is lower than 100 kts.

BATTERY CHARGE LIMITER D/O (3)
APU START
The APU can be started by the batteries alone or by the normal supply.
When the APU start sequence is initiated by setting the APU MASTER
SWitch to ON, batteries are connected to 28V DC BAT BUS in order to
withstand the high APU starter motor demand. When the APU start
sequence is complete (50% N1), relay 6KD closes to interrupt the APU
START signal. In flight, in electrical emergency configuration, the APU
start sequence is locked out during 45 s or until the Constant Speed
Motor/Generator (CSM/G) is connected to the network.
EMER GEN FAULT CONTROL
In emergency configuration, if the CSM/G is inoperative or during
transient configuration, the RAT & EMER GEN FAULT legend on the
EMER ELECtrical PoWeR panel comes on, controlled by BCL 1 and 2.
BAT FAULT CONTROL
In case of thermal runaway or short circuit, the FAULT legend of the
BAT P/BSW comes on. An amber message and the ELEC page are
displayed on the ECAM, the MASTER CAUTion lights come on and
the Single Chime (SC) sounds.
NOTE: The 5V DC for the OFF light are delivered via 15PB and 17PB
resistors.
