A300/A310 IDG System - IDG and GCU - General
DESCRIPTION
Integrated Drive Generators (IDGs)
The IDG connected to each engine consists of a constant speed drive
unit and a generator. The constant speed drive unit converts the variable
engine speed to a constant generator rotation speed. Generator
frequency is maintained at 400 Hz.
The IDG has a self-contained lubrication system. The oil is cooled by an
air-oil and a fuel-oil heat exchanger attached to the engine.
Generator Control Units (GCUs)
Three GCUs are installed, one for each IDG and one for the APU
generator. They provide the following functions:
· Voltage regulation.
· Control protection functions.
- An overvoltage, under-voltage, over-frequency, under frequency
or differential fault de-energizes the generator and opens the
gen-erator line contactor. Same applies when the appropriate
ENG FIRE handle is pulled.
- The phase sequence protection prevents closure of the
generator line contactor in case of an incor-rect phase
sequence.
· Warnings and indications.
GEN 1, GEN 2 and APU GEN are associated with a generator control
unit which provides voltage regulation and protection against the
following faults:

A300/Some A310 AC Power Generation - Power Sources and Controls
Generation
· Generator Drive
The three aircraft generators are driven at constant speed, so that
the distribution network can be supplied with a fixed frequency.
Each engine generator is driven by means of an integrated
hydromechanical speed regulator (IDG: Integrated Drive
Generator).
The auxiliary generator is directly driven at constant speed by the
APU. In the event of mechanical failure, an IDG can be
disconnected by means of a PUSH to DISC IDG pushbutton
protected by a guard and located on ELEC PWR panel on overhead
panel.
It is to be noted that the disconnection mechanism can be reset
only on ground with engine shut down. It cannot be activated with
engine not running.
· Generator and Generator Control Unit
Each generator delivering 3 - phase 115/200 VAC/400 Hz voltage is
controlled by means of the GEN pushbutton switch located on
ELEC PWR panel on flight compartment overhead panel and via a
generator control Unit (GCU).
The GCU main functions are:
-to control the generator voltage by regulating the exitation
current
-to protect the network and the generator by controlling the
associated line contactor and generator energization.
-to control the warnings associated with the corresponding
channel.
Further to triggering of a protection device (except differential
protection) it is possible to reset the system by pressing to release
the GEN pushbutton switch (OFF/R selection).
Each GCU includes an integrated test and self monitoring system
which analyses most of the defects affecting the channel and
memorizes the corresponding data in a non-volatile memory, via the
ground power control unit (GPCU).
· Static inverter
The static inverter transforms the direct current voltage (28VDC)
from the essential bus (DC ESS BUS) into a single phase (115V
400Hz) alternating current.
The static inverter starts automatically in the event of AC essential
bus loss to supply the emergency bus (AC EMER BUS).
· Standby generator and generator control unit (GCU)
The standby generator is driven by a hydraulic motor powered by
the Green hydraulic system, the whole forming a single assembly.
Its nominal alternating current 3-phase power under 115 v is 5 Kva
and direct current power under 28 v is 50A.
The generator is controlled and protected by a generator control
unit (GCU) which provides alternating current and frequency
regulations.
The standby generator starts automatically in the event of loss of
both main generation sources or of the auxiliary generation to
supply the es- sential buses (AC ESS BUS 3XP-2), the alternating
current emergency bus (AC EMER BUS) and the direct current
essential bus (DC ESS BUS).

A300/A310 Electrical Power Generation - Transfer Circuit
Transfer Circuit
The transfer circuit enables supply of both or either AC electrical network
(S) from one of the four power sources (GEN 1, GEN 2, APU GEN, EXT
PWR) via the transfer contactors (BTC). The BTC control is entirely
automatic and depends only on the availability of these sources.
The BTC No. 1 closes
· when the generator is not available, in order to supply network 1
from another power source (generator 2, auxiliary generator or
ground power unit).
· to supply network 2 from generator 1, if generator 2, auxiliary
generator and electrical ground power unit are not available.
BTC No.2 control is symmetrical.
Networks 1 and 2 are supplied in priority order:
· by the corresponding generator
· by the electrical ground power unit
· by the auxiliary generator
· or by the other generator.
NOTE:The BTC is locked out when a DP fault exists in zone 2 in order
to isolate the faulty section of the circuit.

Distribution
The alternating current distribution network can be divided into two
independent parts.
Network No. 1 comprises normal bus 1 (AC BUS 1) essential bus (AC
ESS BUS) and emergency bus (AC EMER BUS).
These three busses are supplied in series. The normal 1 and essential
busses are three phase 115 V/400 Hz busses.
The emergency bus is a single phase 115 V/400 Hz bus.
Network No. 2 includes normal bus 2 (AC BUS 2) which is a three phase
115 V/400 Hz bus.
Each above mentioned bus also delivers 26 V/400 Hz power supply
through 115/26 V transformer.
In the event of normal bus 1 loss, the essential bus can be manually
recovered by transfering power supply directly from generator 1 or 2
through the ETC 2 or 3.
Transfer is effected by pressing OVRD SUPPLY 1 or 2 pushbutton
switch under the corresponding guard located on ELEC PWR panel on
overhead panel. It is to be noted that both OVRD SUPPLY pushbutton
switches have a specific function during the smoke emergency
procedure.
NOTE:Part of this network can be supplied independently and directly
via the external ground receptacle to carry out ground service
operations.

A300/A310 DC Power Generation - Generation Sources
Direct Current Generation and Distribution
Direct current is generated by three identical tranformer rectifiers or by
the AC/DC generator standby or by three identical batteries.
· Transformer rectifier
Each transformer rectifier transforms the three phase alternating
current into direct current.
As soon as it is energized, the transformer rectifier operates and
supplies the direct current network via a contactor controlled by a
current sensor.
This sensor, the function of which is to protect the network and the
TR, controls the contactor opening in the event of:
Ÿ high reverse current (short circuit) in the distribution bus to TR
direction or TR overheat.
In a normal operating DC power system, a wide dispersion between
the transformer rectifiers output currents can be observed, but as
long as no warning is triggered, the system operates within its design
limits.
· Batteries
They are used to:
Ÿ supply the essential network in emergency configuration
Ÿ to start the APU in flight and on ground.
Each battery is controlled from the ELEC PWR panel on flight
compartment overhead panel by BAT pushbutton switch and via a
battery charge controller which enables:
Ÿ battery charge control by coupling the battery to the network or
uncoupling it from the network
Ÿ battery charge monitoring and detection of thermal runaway at its
early stage
Ÿ control of line connection to battery power to recover the
essential network in the event of normal supply loss.
The three batteries can be connected to the line either:
Ÿ automatically,
Ÿ at the beginning of the APU starting sequence.
Ÿ when both automatic pilot systems are selected in LAND
mode
Ÿ or manually, when BAT OVRD pushbutton switch located on
ELEC PWR panel on flight compartment overhead panel is
pressed.
· Standby generator (some A310s)
The standby generator is used to supply the essential network in
emergency configuration.
It is automatically selected and has priority on the batteries (except at
APU starting or when LAND mode is selected on both autopilots). It
enables aircraft autonomy without time limitation.

A300/A310 DC Power Distribution Network - DC NORM/DC ESS BUS
Distribution
The direct current distribution network mainly consists of two busses
· the normal bus (DC NORM BUS) supplied by TR's 1 and 2
· the essential bus (DC ESS BUS) supplied by the essential TR.
These two busses are connected by means of a tie contactor (DC BUS
TIE) and the direct current network is supplied by the three TR's in
parallel. The tie contactor is controlled by the current sensor which
enables protection of the essential network in the event of high current
detection (short-circuit) from the essential bus (DC ESS BUS) to the
normal bus (DC NOM BUS).
The contactor also opens automatically in the following cases:
· when the two automatic pilots are selected in LAND mode to
achieve a LAND III landing capability
· in the event of loss of the two alternating current normal busses (AC
BUS 1 and 2). (Ultimate emergency and smoke emergency
configurations).
NOTE:Part of the direct current normal network can be supplied
independently by TR2 directly energized by the external ground
receptacle.

A300/A310 External Power Supply - Control Switch and Receptacle
Power Supply—External Ground Receptacle
External Power Supply Control
An external ground receptacle located aft of the nose landing gear well
enables power supply of the aircraft network by means of a 3-phase,
400 Hz, 115/200 V ground power unit.
External power supply is controlled from the ELEC PWR panel on flight
compartment overhead panel and via a ground power control unit
(GPCU).
The ground power control unit protects the network by controlling the
external power contactor (EPC) in the event of:
· over/under voltage
· over/under frequency
· incorrect phase order.
It also includes an integrated test and self monitoring system which
analyzes most of the defects which may affect the channel and
memorizes the corresponding information in a non-volatile memory.
This information, as well as those memorized in the non-volatile
memories of the control units (GCU) of generator 1 or 2 or auxiliary
generator can be displayed, on the ground only, on an alphanumerical
display window located on the front face of the GPCU.
When fault information are memorized, the GPCU activates the BITE
DISPLAY GPCU memorized fault annunciator located on maintenance
panel.

A300/Some A310s AC Power Generation - Transfer and Distribution
DISTRIBUTION
The aircraft AC electrical distribution network consists of four main
busbars:
- AC BUS 1AC ESS BUS
- AC BUS 2AC EMER BUS
AC BUS 1
IN FLIGHT: AC BUS 1 is normally supplied by GEN 1. Should supply
from GEN 1 fail, AC BUS 1 will be supplied automatically by the APU
GEN, if operating, or by GEN 2.
ON THE GROUND: AC BUS 1 is supplied in the same way as in flight as
long as an external power is not coupled. If the APU GEN and an
external power source are available, external power has priority to
replace a non-operative engine-driven generator. A transformer
connected to AC BUS 1 converts the 115V AC/400 Hz to 26V AC/400
Hz.
AC BUS 2
IN FLIGHT: AC BUS 2 is normally supplied by GEN 2. Should supply
from GEN 2 fail, the AC BUS 2 will be supplied automatically by the APU
GEN, if operating, or by GEN 1.
ON THE GROUND: AC BUS 2 is supplied in the same way as in flight,
as long as an external power is not coupled. If the APU GEN and an
external power source are available, external power has priority to
replace a non-operative engine-driven generator.
A transformer connected to AC BUS 2 converts the 115V AC/400 Hz to
26V AC/400 Hz.
AC ESS BUS (3XP-1 and 3XP-2)
AC ESS BUS is split into two parts:
3XP-1 and 3XP-2
3XP-1 and 3XP-2 are normally supplied by AC BUS 1 through the
essential transfer contactor 1.
Should supply from AC BUS 1 fail, the essential transfer
contactor 1
which linked AC BUS 1 to 3XP-1 and 3XP-2 opens.
3XP-1 and 3XP-2 may be restored:
- if GEN 1 is delivering a normal electrical power, 3XP-1 and 3XP-2
can be connected directly to GEN 1 upstream of the corresponding
generator line contactor 1 by selecting ON the guarded OVRD
SUPPLY 1 pushbutton switch.
- if GEN 1 has failed, 3XP-1 and 3XP-2 can be connected directly to
GEN 2 upstream of the corresponding generator line contactor 2 by
selecting ON the guarded OVRD SUPPLY 2 pushbutton switch.
In addition, 3XP-2 may be supplied through a two-direction switch by the
AC output of a STBY
GEN when logical conditions are met (see AC/DC
STAND-BY POWER section).
The OVRD SUPPLY 1 and 2 pushbutton switches have a specific roll in
the smoke drill (see SMOKE DRILL section).
A transformer connected to AC ESS BUS converts the 115V AC/400 Hz
to 26V AC/400 Hz.
AC EMER BUS
AC EMER BUS is normally supplied by AC ESS BUS through a two-
direction switch.
Should supply from AC ESS BUS fail, the twodirection switch
automatically:
- will split the connection between AC ESS BUS and AC EMER BUS
- and will establish the connection between DC ESS BUS and AC
EMER BUS through a static inverter which will convert the 28V DC
power into single phase AC 115V power.
A transformer connected to AC EMER BUS converts the 115V AC/400
Hz to 26V AC/400 Hz.

Operation of the Generator Drive Section
It is mainly composed of:
- a differential gear train
- governor and control cylinder assemblies.
The mechanical power taken from the accessory gearbox is transmitted
to the differential gears by means of:
- a shaft with a shear section, which limits the torque in case of
internal mechanical failure
- a disconnect mechanism, which enables considerable internal
mechanical damage to be avoided in case of failure of the lubrication
and cooling oil system.
NOTES:
- The IDG cannot be reconnected in flight.
The system can only be reset on the ground; with engines shut down
and by manual operation of a reset handle located on the IDG.
- The IDG disconnection must not be performed with engines shut
down.
The differential gear train:
- doubles the IDG input speed which is comprised between 4500 and
9075 rpm,
- and adds or subtracts rpm to the doubled input speed to obtain a
constant output speed of 12,000 rpm corresponding to the generator
drive speed.
This is accomplished by the two hydromechanical units through the input
ring gear.
The hydraulic trim is composed of two hydromechanical units, so-called
fixed and variable, and hydraulically coupled. They operate either as a
motor or as a pump.
The so-called fixed unit transmits the compensation to the differential,
either plus or minus rotations, as necessary. Finally, the governor
detects the differential output speed and controls, the so-called variable
unit, by means of a control cylinder so that the speed remains constant.
It should be noted that the accessories necessary to the system
operation (pressurizing pumps, drainage pump and deaerator) are driven
from the differential output, and thus at constant speed.
A speed sensor, located upstream of the disconnect mechanism,
transmits IDG input speed information to the generator control unit
(GCU) for control purposes.

A300/A310 IDG Disconnect Mechanism
The disconnect mechanism consists of a solenoid, spring-loaded
disconnect plunger with threaded pawl, worm shaft and reset ring. The
purpose of the disconnect mechanism is to disconnect the IDG from the
engine gearbox in the event of an IDG failure. Once disconnected, the
IDG cannot be reconnected in flight.
When the disconnect solenoid is activated by the flight engineer, the
spring-loaded disconnect plunger moves a spring-loaded pawl into
contact with threads on the worm shaft.
The worm shaft acts as a screw in a threaded hole, and input rotation
causes this shaft to move away from the input spline shaft, separating
the driving dog teeth on the two shafts. When driving dog teeth have
been separated, the input spline shaft, which is still being driven by the
aircraft engine, spins freely in the IDG without causing component
rotation. Reset may be accomplished by pulling the reset ring following
engine shutdown while the aircraft is on the ground.

IDG Quick Attach/Detach Adapter
DESCRIPTION
The QAD adapter provides for rapid installation and removal of the
integrated drive generator ( IDG) to and from the engine accessory
gearbox. One QAD adapter is attached to each engine accessory
gearbox mounting pad. QAD adapter 730462 mates with the 10-inch
mounting pad used on the General Electric CF6-80A1 gearbox.
The QAD adapter consists of an adapter plate, an adapter ring, a bracket
and tension bolt, and a gasket. The QAD adapter usually remains on the
accessory gearbox mounting pad when the IDG is removed.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The QAD adapter is a coupling device that attaches the IDG to the
engine accessory gearbox mounting pad. The IDG is attached by mating
the adapter plate on the IDG to the QAD adapter plate and rotating the
QAD ring with the tension bolt. Torquing the tension bolt locks the IDG in
position on the gearbox mounting pad. Reactive torque is transmitted
through a dowel pin between the IDG and the adapter plate and then to
the engine gearbox through the adapter plate mounting screws. The
dowel pin also serves as a locator to prevent misalignment during
installation of the IDG.

IDG Cooling System
The cooling system comprises two series mounted heat exchangers:
A. AIR/OIL HEAT EXCHANGER
An air supply duct is attached to the booster bypass chamber and
provides bleed air to the air/oil cooler through an on-off airflow
control valve. Flow is scheduled only during low engine power
operation when the fuel flow available for cooling is small and when
air bleed is not detrimental to engine performance.
The need for IDG cooling air is sensed by routing an 11th stage air
line from the compressor to the air flow on-off control valve. Normal
state is open. Valve is closed only at high engine pressure. Air used
for cooling IDG oil is exhausted through the core compartment.
If the temperature of IDG inlet oil reaches 126.5°C (260°F), an
electrical signal from the General Control Unit causes the control
valve to open, thus permitting the air flow path. If IDG temperature
reaches 142°C (288°F) increasing, AC ELEC page is displayed on
the R ECAM display unit. If IDG temperature reaches 185°C (364°F),
associated warnings appear:
- IDG FAULT, MASTER CAUTION light and warnings on ECAM
display units. In normal operation, if IDG oil pressure reaches
140 ± 25 PSI (9.8 ± 1.75 bar) (oil Low Pressure), associated
warnings appear.
- IDG FAULT, MASTER CAUTION light and warnings on SCAM
display units.
B. FUEL/OIL HEAT EXCHANGER
The fuel/oil heat exchanger is located on the right side of the
accessory gearbox in the core compartment below the heat shield.
The fuel flowing out of the MEC is used as a cooling agent for the
IDG oil system. The oil flowing out of the IDG goes through an air/oil
heat exchanger and then through the fuel/oil heat exchanger. This
heat exchanger is made of tubes which carry the fuel while the IDG
oil passes around the tubes.
It enables the IDG oil to be cooled to acceptable limits during normal
engine operation, and recovers the transferred heat by increasing
the fuel temperature before it enters the fuel manifold. To protect the
IDG from overpressure due to an internal leak in the fuel oil cooler,
an overpressure valve is provided in the oil return line with a drain
line leading to the drain mast. At low engine power, when the fuel
flow is too small to be a complete heat sink for the IDG heat
rejection, the air/oil heat exchanger is activated to provide additional

DC Power Generation
DCpower generation is achieved by:
- Three identical transformer rectifier (TR) units
- Three identical batteries.
TRANSFORMER RECTIFIED ( TR) UNIT
The three transformer rectifier units (150 A/28 DC) covert the three-
phase 115V/400 Hz AC power into 28V DC power.
Each TR unit operates as soon as it is electrically supplied and delivers
electrical power through a line contactor.
The line contactor opens when:
- a reverse current is detected in the direction distribution busbar/TR
by a current sensor.
In addition, the current sensor gives a failure indication displayed on
the lateral panel when a no-current information is detected.
- a TR overheat is detected.
BATTERIES
The three 25 AH batteries (1, 2 and 3) are located within fire proof boxes
in the avionics compartment.
Each battery is protected by a battery charge controller unit which
controls the opening/ closure of the associated battery line contactor.
DC EMERGENCY GENERATION
The DC emergency generation is achieved by the three batteries:
- to automatically restore the essential DC network when normal
supply has failed, by closure of the three batteries line contactors
- to control battery charging
- to detect an overheat
A BAT OVRD pushbutton switch forces the three-batteries line
contactors closure when selected ON.
When both autopilots are engaged and LAND mode is selected, the
three batteries linecontactors automatically close to increase the
reliability of the autopilot system during a category III automatic landing.
When all BATT switches are selected OFF/R, the following equipment
are still supplied:
- The clocks
- The extinguisher cartridges (engines, bottle 1 to FWD cargo, bottle 2
to AFT and BULK cargos)
- The refueling system (if the NORMAL/ BATTERY switch on the
refueling panel is selected BATTERY)
- IRS.

DC Normal Generation
The DC normal. generation is achieved by two transformer rectifier units
- TR1 and TR2 which convert AC power from AC BUS 1 and AC BUS 2,
respectively, into DC power.
The TR2 is also used for ground operations (see EXTERNAL POWER
CONTROLS Section).
DC ESSENTIAL GENERATION
The DC essential generation is achieved by a transformer rectifier unit -
ESS TR - which converts AC power from AC ESS BUS into DC power.
DISTRIBUTION
The aircraft is fitted with two main DC busbars supplied with 28V DC
power:
- DC NORM BUS
- DC ESS BUS
DC NORM BUS
DC NORM BUS is simultaneously supplied by the two transformer
rectifier units TR1 and TR2.
DC ESS BUS
DCESS BUS is normally supplied by:
- DC NORM BUS through a DC BUS TIE contactor which closes as
soon as the aircraft network is electrically supplied
- and AC ESS BUS (3XP-2) through the ESS TR unit which converts
the AC power into DC power.
Should supply from DC NORM BUS and AC ESS BUS (3XP-2) fail, the
DC BUS TIE contactor opens and DC ESS BUS is supplied either by the
STBY GEN (See AC/DC STAND-BY POWER section), or by the
batteries, through the batteries contactors.
The DC BUS TIE contactor opens automatically:
- In the event of an electrical supply loss from both AC BUS 1 and AC
BUS 2
- or when both autopilots are engaged and LAND mode is selected, to
increase the reliability of the autopilot system during a category III
automatic landing
- or when a reverse current >60A is detected in the direction DC ESS
BUS/DC NORM BUS.

AC Auxiliary Generation
GENERAL
The AC auxiliary generation is provided by the APU generator which is
able:
- in flight to replace either or both engine generators in case of failure
- on the ground to supply the aircraft network when no ground power
unit is available.
The auxiliary generator, directly driven at constant speed by the APU, is
a conventional, 3-coaxial component brushless generator:
- PMG,
- rotating diode pilot exciter,
- finally, the generator itself.
It is cooled by oil spraying and associated with a regulation and protector
unit (GCU), the function of which is to:
- regulate the network voltage,
- control the generator while protecting the network and the generator
- control the different warnings and indicators.
Moreover, the GCU is fitted with a built-in test equipment (BITE) which
enables maintenance operations of the system to be facilitated.

APU Generator Controls and Indications
Controls and indications related to the APU generator are located on the
flight compartment overhead panel and are transmitted via the GCU.
A. Controls and Indications in the Flight Compartment
The operation of the APU generator is controlled by ELEC PWR/APU
GEN pushbutton switch with two positions:
- OFF/R selected, the pushbutton switch is released out, and the
White legend is on: the generator is shut down (deenergized and
the line contactor is open)
- ON selected, the pushbutton switch is pressed in, the generator
is energized, its rotational speed being high enough
- If the electrical parameters are correct, the line contactor closes
to supply the transfer circuit.
The effective supply of the aircraft network by means of the battery
tie contactor(s) depends on the availability of the other generation
sources.
NOTES:
- On the ground, the generator line contactor will only close if the
ground power unit does not already supply the transfer network:
the ground power unit has a priority on the APU generator to
supply the aircraft
- For reference only, each aircraft network is supplied according to
the following priority order:
- by its generator
- by the ground power unit
- by the auxiliary generator
- by the second generator

AC/DC Stand-by Power Distribution
When the logical conditions are met, the STBY GEN supplies:
- a part of the AC ESS BUS: 3XP-2, and
- the AC EMER BUS, and
- the DC ESS BUS
AC ESS BUS (3XP-2)
3XP-2 part of AC ESS BUS is normally supplied by AC BUS 1, through
the essential transfer contactor 1 and a two-direction switch.
Should STBY AC power feeding conditions be met, the two-direction
switch automatically:
- will split the connection between 3XP-1 and 3XP-2, and AC BUS 1,
and
- will establish the connection between the AC output of the STBY
GEN and 3XP-2.
DC ESS BUS
DC ESS BUS is normally supplied by:
- DC NORM BUS through a DC BUS TIE contactor, and
- 3XP-2 through the ESS TR.
Should STBY DC power feeding conditions be met, the DC ESS BUS will
be supplied:
- by the DC output of the STBY GEN, or
- the batteries if the BAT OVRD pushbutton switch is selected ON,
(the STBY GEN is then deactivated).
AC EMER BUS
Automatic operation of the STBY GEN is not controlled by the STBY
GEN pushbutton switch (even if the pushbutton switch is broken, as soon
as logical conditions will be met, automatic operation of the STBY GEN
will start).
The pushbutton switch allows, only, to force the STBY GEN starting even
if the automatic starting conditions are not met.
· AUTO (P/B Switch Released-out)
Normal position. Automatic starting is not possible on the ground.
• Starting without feeding
The STBY GEN starts to run as goon as the following conditions
are met:
- DC NORM BUS is OFF, and
- the generator line contactor 2 is opened, and
- BAT OVRD pushbutton switch is not selected ON, and
- Green hydraulic power is available, and
- Aircraft is in flight.
• AC power feeding
When feeding conditions are met:
- no FAULT detected by the STBY GEN generator control unit,
and
- DC STBY power available he AC STBY contactor closes,
and AC power supplies the AC ESS BUS (3XP-2), and the
AC EMER BUS.
• DC power feeding
When feeding conditions are met:
- no FAULT detected by the STBY GEN generator control unit,
and
- DC STBY power available, and
- no APU start attempt, and
- LAND RECOVERY pushbutton switch is not selected ON
the DC STBY contactor closes, and DC power supplies the DC
ESS BUS.
After an automatic starting in flight, the two starting conditions DC
ESS ON .BAT and aircraft in flight are replaced by a STBY GEN
operating condition to maintain the STBY GEN operating (since DC
ESS BUS is no longer fed by the batteries) even after landing.
APU GEN has priority over STBY GEN to supply the electrical
network, when the main GEN 1 and GEN 2 generation is lost.

Either in flight or on the ground, the STBY GEN is forced to run as
soon as the following conditions are met:
- BAT OVRD pushbutton switch is not selected ON, and
- Green hydraulic power is available
Feeding of AC ESS BUS (3XP-2), AC EMER BUS and DC ESS
BUS by the STBY GEN is achieved in the same way as with the
STBY GEN pushbutton switch selected AUTO.
If the forced starting has been initiated:
- In flight, the STBY GEN operation will continue after landing
- On the ground, the STBY GEN operation will be limited to 2
minutes (ground test).
· FAULT
The FAULT light illuminates Amber when:
- A failure (Under Voltage or Under Frequency) is detected by
the GCU, or
- An anomaly is detected in the AC Stand-By Line Contactor
logic.

External Power and Maintenance Bus Switch
An external power receptacle, located on the lower forward part of the
fuselage, in the lengthwise axis, allows the aircraft to be supplied with a
three-phase 115/200V - 400 Hz power through the external power line
contactor from an electrical ground power unit.
A ground power control unit (GPCU) automatically opens the external
power line contactor in the event of:
- overvoltage or undervoltage
- overfrequency or underfrequency
- open phase or phase sequence
When the APU GEN power and the external power are simultaneously
available, the external power has priority to supply the aircraft.
The engine-driven generator has priority over the APU GEN and the
external power to supply the aircraft. A MAINTenance BUS switch
(MAINT BUS sw) is located on the forward cabin circuitbreakers panel.
It supplies only the service busbars with electrical power when the
external power unit is connected to the aircraft (AVAIL light on), but not
coupled (ON light off).
COCKPIT CONTROLS
EXT PWR PUSHBUTTON
The pushbutton controls the coupling of the aircraft electrical network
with an AC external power when:
- an external power is connected
- and the electrical power is available.
· AVAIL
The AVAIL light comes on Green when:
- an AC external power is plugged-in,
- the external power electrical parameters being normal, the
electrical power is available, and
- the external power line contactor is open (the external power
does not supply the AC BUS 1 and AC BUS 2).
· MOMENTARILY PRESSED
- If the AVAIL light was on, it goes off.
The external power line contactor closes and the external power
may supply the AC BUS 1 and the AC BUS 2 through both
transfer contactors 1 and 2 as long as the external power
electrical parameters are normal.
The ON light comes on Blue.
- If the ON light was on, it goes off.
The external power line contactor is open and the AC BUS 1 and
AC BUS 2 are no longer electrically supplied.
The AVAIL light comes on Green if the external power electrical
parameters are normal.
MAINTENANCE BUS SWITCH
The MAINTenance BUS switch located on the forward Cabin CB Panel
controls:
- the AC input to the TR2 unit which supplies the DC ground service
busbars
- and the supply to the AC ground service busbars.
· ON
The switch is magnetically latched if the external power electrical
parameters are normal (as long as the AVAIL light is on in the EXT
PWR pushbutton).
- AC GROUND/FLIGHT BUS and AC GROUND BUS are directly
supplied.
- DC GROUND/FLIGHT BUS and DC GROUND BUS are supplied
through the TR unit 2.
Lighting, cargo doors operation, cargo loading and refueling are
operative.

A300/A310 Ground Power Control Unit (GPCU) BITE Check
OVERALL OPERATION
The three GCUs and the GPCU are individually responsible for isolating
fault conditions and storing the results in nonvolatile memory (NVM).
That data is stored during the flight and retained for display while on the
ground. During the flight, there is no communication between units since
the GPCU is not powered.
When the aircraft lands (and power is applied to the GPCU by a switch in
the nose gear) the GPCU communications' software is activated. The
GPCU then attempts to establish communications with the three GCUs
by means of the serial data links. Each GCU is interrogated individually
to determine if it has stored any BITE messages during the flight. If any
of the units has a BITE message available, the BITE MESSAGE
INDICATOR is illuminated and can only be extinguished by pushing a
button on the GPCU. No communication takes place between the GCUs
at any time.
A primary feature of BITE is the alphanumeric display located on the
GPCU. This is a 24 character readout that displays messages describing
what faults have occurred and which area of the system contains the
problem.
BITE defines which LRU has failed or if a failure has occurred in the
wiring or sensors associated with the Electric Power System of the
aircraft.

A300/A310 Electrical System - Inspection and Check of Electrical Circuit
Inspection/Check of Electrical Circuit
The inspection/check procedure consists of two distinct operations :
· A cursory inspection, which consists of a visual examination of all
components readily visible and which does not necessitate
component removal.
· A detailed inspection, which consists of removing any components
which obscure the view of other components, thus permitting a
detailed visual examination of all system components.
· Cursory Inspection
· Check the general outer condition, the attachment and
appearance of the following components :
· Panels and their equipment
· Electrical connectors
· Rack-mounted system components
· Indicators
· Electrical bonding leads
· Check the condition of all wiring (for signs of ageing, alteration,
overheating, scaling and deformation which might detrimentally
affect wiring performance).
· Replace defective components
· Detailed Inspection
· Open access doors and casings, remove or open the panels,
shields and components obscuring other components (if
necessary), in order to gain access to wiring, plugs, electrical
connections and various system components.
· Concerning the various components :
· Remove dust using a vacuum cleaner and clean further
if necessary.
· Check labels and their identification.
· Check attachment and general appearance of
components.
· Concerning wiring :
· Check identification sleeves or labels for correct
condition as well as protective coatings, insulation and
