page.

ELECTRICAL MENU Abnormal operation (A) 8/54

 Observe IDG 1 FAULT light illuminated on
the ELEC panel.

ELECTRICAL MENU Abnormal operation (A) 9/54

 These indications mean that the oil pressure in
IDG 1 is not sufficient. We can see from the blue
action line that we are required to disconnect the
IDG from the engine.

The PF will ask you to perform the ECAM

actions.
Perform ECAM action.

ELECTRICAL MENU Abnormal operation (A) 10/54

 These indications mean that the oil pressure in
IDG 1 is not sufficient. We can see from the blue
action line that we are required to disconnect the
IDG from the engine.

The PF will ask you to perform the ECAM

actions.
No, raise IDG 1 guard.

 CAUTION
Press IDG pb sw until GEN FAULT light
comes on but not more than 3 seconds to avoid
damage to the disengage solenoid.

ELECTRICAL MENU Abnormal operation (A) 16/54

 As you can see, generator 2 has automatically
taken over and it is now supplying the entire
electrical network.

ELECTRICAL MENU Abnormal operation (A) 17/54

 On the ECAM
ELEC page, an amber
DISC has replaced
the previous LO PR
meaning that IDG 1 is
now disconnected.

 Let's look at GEN 1 indications for a moment.

•GEN in amber means

generator 1 has abnormal
parameters
•1 in white means engine 1 is
still running
•0% load in green means that
the load is still within the
normal range
•0 volts in amber means that
the voltage is outside the
normal range
•Amber “X”s means that
there is no frequency sensed

ELECTRICAL MENU Abnormal operation (A) 24/54

 FAULT amber illuminated in the GEN 1 pb sw
means GEN 1 is not supplying the system.

ELECTRICAL MENU Abnormal operation (A) 25/54

 Alongside the GEN 1 box, a white GALLEY
SHED indication has appeared meaning that
the system has automatically shed galley
equipment to decrease the load on the
remaining generator.
