This panel is the Ground Service


Bus Control Panel.
It is used to power a small A.C. bus
when the aircraft is being serviced
overnight on the ground.
Normally the Ground Service Bus is
powered as a part of the right
electrical system - but you can
power the Ground Service Bus by
itself when you dont want to
power the entire right A.C. system.

The Emergency Power system can also be powered by the aircraft batteries.
The aircraft batteries can power the Emergency DC system directly and can
power the Emergency AC system through the AC Emergency Inverter located in the Forward Accessory Compartment. NEXT >

The AC system operates at 115 Volt, 3 phase, 400 cycles per second.
The left and right systems are independent and are normally not
interconnected.
The APU or the EXT Power can power both left and right systems.
The AC Crosstie Relay can automatically close to allow one electrical system to
power the opposite electrical system in the event of an inflight engine driven
generator failure.

There are 3 identical generators installed on the MD-80. The engine driven generators are
driven by a Constant Speed Drive. The APU generator is directly driven by the APU without a special drive transmission.
Any 1 generator is capable of supplying adequate power to all aircraft systems.
Minimum dispatch is with 2 operating generators. If the APU generator is used as 1 of the
normal generators - extra fuel must be planned for the flight.
Generator output frequency is determined by the generator drive speed. The APU fuel
control determines the APU generator speed. The engine generator drive speed is
governed by a CSD.
Lets begin by covering the operation of the CSD units - - NEXT >

There is one CSD oil temperature gauge and one guarded disconnect switch for
each CSD.
The CSD disconnect switches are momentary type - and can energize a solenoid
to disconnect the CSD. The engine should be running at over 25% N2 to
properly disconnect a CSD.

The normal display mode of these gauges displays the temperature of the oil as
it comes out of the CSD. This is called the outlet temperature and is read
on the inner scale of the gauge.
Normally both CSD temperatures should be similar.
To display the rise temperature - push the button and read the outer scale on
these gauges. The rise temperature is the difference in oil temperature from
the time it leaves the oil cooler to the time it leaves the CSD. NEXT >

COOLER

The CSD generates heat as it operates. The highest temperature oil leaves the
CSD enroute to the oil cooler. The temperature of this oil is displayed as
outlet on the CSD gauge. NOTE: This oil is completely separate from the engine
oil.

The CSD oil cooler is an air cooled radiator, located behind the fan (1st set of
blades) on the engine. The oil cooler is located on the bottom of the engine.
The difference in measured oil temperature is called the RISE temperature.
The CSD gauge will display RISE temperature as long as you press the PUSH

Using the inner scale - oil temperatures are acceptable up to the yellow arc.
If the outlet oil temperature reaches the yellow arc the pilot can relieve the CSD
by turning the generator switch to OFF. This allows the CSD to operate
without a load.
If the CSD outlet oil temperature reaches the red arc - and does not come down
by unloading the generator - the pilot is will disconnect the CSD.
A CSD disconnect can only be reset by maintenance. NEXT >

When the rise button is pressed and held down - the gauges will both display
the rise temperature. If the rise temperature exceeds the yellow line (set at
11.2 degrees centigrade), the pilot is to make a note in the maintenance
logbook - to require servicing of the CSD oil at the next stop.
Usually a high RISE temperature indicates that the CSD oil tank is either low
on oil quantity or the oil tank has been overfilled. NEXT >

Here the left CSD oil is hot - you have unloaded the generator to help the CSD
oil cool down by reducing the work-load on the CSD. Your efforts have not
resulted in a reduction of CSD oil temperature - so - you will disconnect the
CSD.
You should start the APU as soon as possible in these situations to provide a
second generator.
First - open the red guard to expose the switch. Then hold the momentary
disconnect switch up until the voltage & frequency drop off on the volt/freq.

Hold the switch up until the voltage and frequency from this generator drop to
zero.
If the CSD should refuse to disconnect - it will probably continue to get more
hot.
The CSD is driven by a drive shaft that can shear if it receives enough stress.

The Voltage Regulator maintains the


output voltage constant.
The GCR is the field relay.
If this relay is open (as shown) - the
generator cannot generate voltage.
With the GCR closed - voltage is
generated when the generator is
spinning.
This GCR can only be opened (as you
see it here) - two different ways.
1)It will be tripped to this open
condition when a Fire procedure is
performed ie: pulling the engine fire handle
out.
2)It will be tripped to this open
condition when an electrical fault is
sensed in the system.
ie: a short.

Resetting the GCR to the closed


position is easy. NEXT >

Now the LEFT GCR is reset; and will stay reset unless the Left Engine Fire Handle is pulled
out - or until a left system electrical fault causes the GCR to trip open. Remember that
the RESET switch position is momentary (spring loaded).
Now that the GCR is closed - it should stay closed - and during engine start this generator
will generate volts & freqs.
The generator is not spinning is this example - so it is still gray colored. We will color a
generator red when it develops A.C. electrical power.

Now the engine is running and the generator is generating power.


Since the power is not yet flowing to the buses - you do not have a load on the left
generator. Therefore the left generator load meter displays no load.
Now that the engine is running - power will flow to the system when the generator
switch is moved to ON.
The power flows through a Generator Relay....

Here you can see the engine is not running - the generator is not developing power - even
though the Generator Control Relay is closed.
The Generator Relay (GR) will be open whenever the Generator switch is not in the ON
position; or with the switch ON - whenever the volts & freqs. are not of good quality.
The GR delivers the generators power to the LEFT GENERATOR BUS..
When the GR is open - the GEN OFF annunciator light is on.

The RESET positions of these 3 switches are spring loaded (momentary).


The RESET is used to reset the GCR. The GCR will need to be reset if a fire
procedure has been performed - or if an electrical fault has occurred. The APU
reset switch is spring loaded to NORM.
The OFF position keeps the Generator Relay (GR) open. (right Generator above)
The Left Generator switch is ON. The GR will automatically close when the voltage
& frequency are proper. The GR will open if the voltage & frequency are out of
limits as determined by the Generator Control Panel. The normal position for
the engine generator switches is ON.
With the engine generator switches ON - the generators come on line during engine

The APU and the EXT PWR have a left and a right system toggle switch.
Turning on the APU switches allows the APU generator power to flow to the
respective system if the A.C. Generator Bus is not already powered by the
engine driven generator.
Turning on the EXT PWR switches allows the external power to flow to the
respective system if the A.C. Generator Bus is not already powered by the
engine driven generator or the APU generator. The APU has a higher priority
than the EXT PWR. The engine generator has a higher priority than the APU
or the EXT PWR. NEXT >

The A.C. Crosstie Relay


switch is normally in the
AUTO position.
In AUTO, the relay will close
automatically whenever an
A.C. Crosstie is needed.
When a crosstie is not
needed, the relay will
automatically open.
The AC Crosstie Relay can
only close for engine
generator crosstie
operations - or for APU
crosstie operations - when
inflight.
If a fault (short) occurs on
either system - the A.C.
Crosstie Relay will
lockout to protect the
good system from
connecting to a possible
faulted system. NEXT >

be manually closed to
recover a D.C. bus in the
event of a failure of either
DC bus.
When closed - the T.R.s on
one side will power both
Left & Right DC buses.
DC Bus fault protection is
provided by a fuse.
There are 4 needles that each

The maximum needle split between any two needles is 30% or .3 on the scales.
One T.R. can power an entire DC Bus.
If 2 T.R.s on one electrical system fail - the amber DC BUS OFF annunciator
light will come on and the respective DC bus will be inoperative. To power
the bus from the opposite T.R.s - you will have to move the DC CROSSTIE
switch to the CLOSE position. This action will put out the annunciator light
and both DC buses will be powered by the T.R.s on one electrical system.
