- GENERAL - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

** ON A/C ALL
A. Generation
Two Integrated Drive Generators (IDG) normally supply the aircraft electrical power in flight ; each engine
drives one generator.
The APU drives a third, auxiliary, generator (APU GEN) which can replace either main generator (GEN 1 or
GEN 2).
The generators supply the distribution network with alternating current.
Two Transformer Rectifiers (TR) supply, in normal configuration, the distribution network with direct current.
In the event of major failure, a constant-speed hydraulic motor drives an emergency generator (CSM/G) to
supply the systems required for aircraft control.
On the ground, an electrical Ground Power Unit (GPU) can supply the aircraft. The APU GEN can also be
an independant power source.
B. General Arrangement of the Distribution Network
In normal flight configuration, each IDG supplies its own distribution network via its Line Contactor (GLC).
The two IDGs are never electrically coupled.
The distribution network 1 consists of:
· the Alternating Current Bus 1 (AC BUS 1),
· the Alternating Current Essential Bus (AC ESS BUS),
· the Alternating Current Sheddable Essential Bus (AC SHED ESS BUS).
The distribution network 2 corresponds to the Alternating Current Bus 2 (AC BUS 2).
The TR 1 powered from the AC BUS 1 supplies through its contactor:
· the Direct Current Bus 1 (DC BUS 1),
· the Direct Current Battery Bus (DC BAT BUS),
· the Direct Current Essential Bus (DC ESS BUS),
· the Direct Current Sheddable Essential Bus (DC SHED ESS BUS).
Two batteries are associated with the DC BAT BUS.
The TR 2 powered from the AC BUS 2 supplies the Direct Current Bus 2 (DC BUS 2) through its contactor.
In case of loss of the TR 1 or the TR 2, a third Essential Transformer Rectifier (ESS TR) powered from the
AC BUS 1, supplies through its contactor:
· the DC ESS BUS,
· the DC SHED ESS BUS.
In certain failure configurations, the AC ESS BUS and the AC SHED ESS BUS plus, via the ESS TR, the
DC ESS BUS and the DC SHED ESS BUS can be supplied by:
· the AC BUS 2 if the AC BUS 1 is lost,
· the CSM/G more especially in emergency configuration or smoke emergency configuration.
Two sheddable AC and DC busbars are powered respectively by the GLC 2 and the TR 2 and controlled by
two contactors. These AC busbars are automatically shedded in the single generator configuration and the
DC busbars in the single generator and single TR configurations.

(1) Generation
(a) Main Generator, APU GEN, Generator Control Unit (GCU) and Ground and Auxiliary
Power Control Unit (GAPCU)
Each generator is controlled, through the GCU and the GAPCU for the APU generator, with a GEN
pushbutton switch installed on the ELEC panel on the overhead panel.
The primary properties of the generator are:
· Nominal power: 90 kVA at the Point Of Regulation (POR)
· Voltage: three-phase 115/200VAC, 400 Hz.
The primary functions of the GCU and GAPCU are:
· Control of the generator voltage through the field current
· Protection of the network and the generator through the control of the related GLC and the
generator field current
· Supply of BITE information to the Centralized Fault Display System (CFDS)
· Control of the warnings related to the applicable channel.
Each GCU and the GAPCU have a BITE and self-monitoring system that:
· Analyzes most channel faults
· Memorizes the related data in a non-volatile memory.
Also, the lower ECAM display-unit receives the electrical parameters and warnings for the related
channel.
(b) Constant Speed Motor/Generator (CSM/G) drive
In emergency conditions, a hydraulic motor, speed-controlled by a servo-valve speed regulator,
operates the CSM/G. The regulator uses the oil flow from the Blue hydraulic system to keep the
CSM/G at a constant speed.
In normal conditions, an electric pump supplies the Blue hydraulic system. In emergency conditions,
the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) supplies the Blue hydraulic system.
(c) CSM/G and CSM/G control unit
In emergency conditions, the loss of busbars AC BUS 1 and AC BUS 2 starts the automatic control
of the RAT and CSM/G.
The guarded MAN ON pushbutton switch, on the EMER ELEC PWR panel of the cockpit overhead
panel, is used to manually control the RAT and the CSM/G. This control is redundant with the
automatic RAT deployment.
The CSM/G control unit controls the CSM/G.
The primary properties of the CSM/G are:
· Nominal power: 5.4 kVA at the POR
· Voltage: three-phase 115/200VAC, 400 Hz.
The primary functions of the control unit are:
· Control of the servo-valve excitation for speed regulation
· Control of the generator voltage through the field current
· Protection of the network and the generator through the control of the related GLC and generator
field current.
The guarded EMER GEN TEST pushbutton-switch on the EMER ELEC PWR panel is used to do a
test of the CSM/G on the ground, with the Blue electric pump in operation.
(d) Static inverter
The static inverter, has a nominal power of 1000 VA. It changes the direct current from battery 1 into
single-phase 115VAC/400 Hz.
The static inverter is automatically activated if busbars AC BUS 1 and AC BUS 2 are lost and the
CSM/G is not available.
For the maintenance, the static inverter supplies FAULT indications to the CFDS through the two
Battery Charge Limiters (BCLs).

Rev. Date : May 01, 2019
24-00-00 PB 001 CONF 00 - ELECTRICAL POWER
- GENERAL - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The transfer circuit enables supply of either AC electrical network or both from one of the four power
sources (GEN 1, GEN 2, APU GEN, EXT PWR) via the Bus Transfer Contactors (BTC). BTC control
is entirely automatic and depends on the availability of these sources and the correct condition of each
network. The BTC 1 closes, if no interlock condition exists on the GCU 1:
· when the GEN 1 is not available, in order to supply the network 1 from another power source (GEN 2
APU GEN or EXT PWR),
· to supply the network 2 from the GEN 1, if the GEN 2, APU GEN and EXT PWR are not available.
The BTC 2 control is symmetrical to BTC 1.
The GCU 1 or GCU 2 enables closure of the BTC 1 or BTC 2 if no overcurrent condition and no "GLC
welded" failure occurred (Ref. AMM D/O 24-22-00-00) .
The networks 1 and 2 are supplied in priority order:
· by the corresponding generator,
· by the ground power unit,
· by the APU GEN,
· or by the other generator.

NOTE: Locking of the two BTCs and isolation of the two channels is possible by action on the BUS TIE
pushbutton switch; this control is located on the ELEC panel on the cockpit overhead panel.

(3) Distribution
The alternating current distribution network comprises three independent parts.
The network 1 mainly comprises the AC BUS 1, the AC ESS BUS and the AC SHED ESS BUS which
are three-phase, 115 V/400 Hz busses.
The AC BUS 1 supplies the essential busses in series.
The AC BUS 1 and the AC ESS BUS also deliver 26 V/400 Hz power supply through their 115/26 V
transformer.
In the event of AC BUS 1 loss, AC ESS BUS and the AC SHED ESS BUS can be manually restored by
the transfer of power supply directly from the AC BUS 2. It is possible to perform the transfer by action
on the AC ESS FEED pushbutton switch on the ELEC panel, after illumination of the FAULT legend.
In the event of AC BUS 1 and AC BUS 2 loss (emergency configuration), the AC ESS BUS and AC
SHED ESS BUS are restored on the CSM/G when the RAT hydraulic power is available.
During RAT deployment or when the following two conditions are both met:
· main landing gear compressed,
· and A/C speed below 100 Knots,
AC ESS BUS and AC STAT INV BUS are supplied by battery 1 via the static inverter.
The network 2 includes the AC BUS 2 which is a three-phase, 115 VAC/400 Hz bus.
It also delivers 26 VAC/400 Hz power supply through a 115/26 VAC transformer.

NOTE: To carry out ground service operations (Ref. Para. C.), the external power receptacle provides
independent and direct supply to a part of the network 2.

- GENERAL - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

(1) DC Power Sources


The power sources of direct current are:
· three identical transformer rectifiers and two identical batteries.
In normal configuration, the two normal TRs (TR 1 and TR 2) and possibly the batteries supply direct
current.
In the event of loss of one or both TR, part of the DC network is transferred to the ESS TR.
(a) TR
Each TR transforms the three-phase alternating current into direct current (28VDC).
1 TR1 and TR2
Upon energization, the two normal TRs operate and supply the DC network via a contactor
controlled by the internal TR logic.
In case of failure, the TR sends a FAULT signal to the CFDS for maintenance purposes.
2 Essential TR
Upon energization, the essential TR operates and supplies the DC network via a contactor.
To reset the TR push the TR RST pushbutton switch 15PU located on the relay box 103VU.In
addition,the TR sends its electrical parameters to the lower ECAM display unit. In addition, the
TR sends its electrical parameters to the lower ECAM display unit.
(b) Batteries
Each of the two batteries has a nominal 23 AH capacity and a 24 VDC voltage. The main functions
of the batteries are:
· to start the APU in flight and on the ground,
· to supply the essential network in some configurations.
A BCL controls each battery contactor when the BAT pushbutton switch is in the AUTO
configuration.
In addition, each BCL includes a BITE and a self monitoring system which analyzes internal and
peripherical fault information. Initiation of the test is possible via the CFDS or at each power up on
ground.
Each BCL delivers electrical parameters and warnings concerning each battery to the lower ECAM
display unit.
(2) Distribution
The direct current distribution network is divided into two parts.
The network 1 comprises the DC BUS 1, the DC BAT BUS, the DC ESS BUS and the DC SHED ESS
BUS. The TR 1 supplies the network 1.
The network 2 comprises the DC BUS 2. The TR 2 supplies the network 2.
In the event of TR 1 loss, the TR 2 automatically restores supply to the DC BUS 1 and the DC BAT
BUS. The DC ESS BUS and the DC SHED ESS BUS are automatically transferred to the ESS TR.
The AC BUS 1 supplies the ESS TR.
The TR 2 loss leads to the symmetrical recovery of the DC BUS 2 from the TR 1 and the same transfer
for the DC ESS BUS and the DC SHED ESS BUS.
In the event of TR 1 and TR 2 loss (DC BUS 1 and 2 loss), the DC ESS BUS and the DC SHED ESS
BUS are supplied from the ESS TR.
In case of loss of AC BUS 1 and AC BUS 2 (emergency configuration), DC ESS BUS and DC SHED
ESS BUS are recovered by the CSM/G (via the ESS TR) when the RAT hydraulic generation is
available.
During RAT deployment or when the following two conditions are both met:
· main landing gear compressed,
· and A/C speed below 100 Knots,
DC ESS BUS only is supplied by battery 2.

NOTE: The external power receptacle directly energizes the TR 2 which can independently supply a
part of the DC normal network. (Ground service configuration).

- GENERAL - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

(1) AC External Power Control Supply


An external power receptacle located in front of the nose landing gear well enables power supply of the
aircraft network. This is performed by means of the three-phase, 400 Hz, 115/200 V ground power unit.
External power supply is controlled from the ELEC panel on the cockpit overhead panel and via the
GAPCU.
The GAPCU includes a BITE and a self monitoring system which analyzes most of the faults which may
affect the channel. The system memorizes the corresponding information in a non-volatile memory.
This memory also memorizes the fault information from each main GCU.
Finally, the GAPCU delivers all fault information to the CFDS.
The test is initialized:
· either on the ground by the CFDS,
· or automatically at each power-up.
In addition, the GPCU delivers electrical parameters relative to its channel to the EGIU 1, channel 2.
(2) Ground Service Bus Control

(Ref. Fig. Control and Indicating - Component Location SHEET 1)


It is possible to supply a part of the aircraft electrical network as follows, directly from the external power
receptacle, to carry out ground service operations :
· supply of part of the AC network (AC SVCE busses),
· supply of part of the DC network (DC SVCE busses), without energization of the whole aircraft
electrical network.
The MAINT BUS switch located on the panel 2000VU controls the supply of the ground service network.
4. Controls and Indications Related to Electrical Generation and Distribution
(Ref. Fig. Control and Indicating - Component Location SHEET 1)
Controls and indications related to electrical generation and distribution are on:
· the ELEC control panels,
· the ECAM display units,
· the forward entryway circuit breaker panel (2000VU),
· the CFDS.
A. MAINT BUS Switch

(Ref. Fig. Control and Indicating - Component Location SHEET 1)


This switch is located on the panel 2000VU. It controls power supply of the AC and DC ground/flight
network.
ON: This network is supplied in priority as follows:
· by the aircraft network if it is energized,
· or by the electrical ground power unit, via the external power receptacle.
OFF: This network is supplied by the main electrical network.

- GENERAL - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The block diagram of the electrical generation appears on the lower ECAM display unit (Ref. AMM D/O 24-
27-00-00) .
C. Centralized Fault Display System (CFDS)
Line maintenance of the electronic systems is based on the use of the CFDS.
The purpose of the CFDS is to give to maintenance technicians a central maintenance aid. The CFDS
enables intervention at system or subsystem level from the Multipurpose Control and Display Units
(MCDUs) located in the cockpit.
From the MCDUs it is possible:
· to read the maintenance information,
· to initiate various tests.
The electrical components connected to the CFDS are:
· the GAPCU,
· the BCLs,
· the emergency GCU,
· the TRs.
The GAPCU and BCLs can memorize fault codes and communicate with the CFDIU via ARINC 429 buses.
The emergency GCU and the three TRs are connected to the CFDIU by a discrete link: it is thus possible to
know only the status of these systems (OK or faulty) during SYSTEM REPORT/TEST sequence.
