24-20-00 PB 001 CONF 00 - AC GENERATION - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. General
The AC generation consists of:
four Integrated Drive Generators (IDG), (Ref. AMM D/O 24-21-00-00) ,
a main generation corresponding to the four IDG channels and to the transfer circuit, (Ref. AMM D/
O 24-22-00-00) ,
an auxiliary generation corresponding to the APU generator and its channel, (Ref. AMM D/O 24-23-00-00) ,
an emergency generation corresponding to the Constant Speed Motor/Generator (CSM/G), its associated
GCU and its channel, (Ref. AMM D/O 24-24-00-00) ,
the essential generation switching, (Ref. AMM D/O 24-25-00-00) ,
the control circuits for galley supply, (Ref. AMM D/O 24-26-00-00) ,
the monitoring and indicating circuits for the cockpit, (Ref. AMM D/O 24-27-00-00) ,
a static inverter which provides AC power from the main batteries, (Ref. 24-28-00),
two ECMUs which control the main contactors of the main AC and DC generations, (Ref. AMM D/
O 24-29-00-00) .

24-20 - AC GENERATION

A. IDGs
There are four Integrated Drive Generators (IDGs), one per engine. Inside of the IDG, the Constant Speed
Drive (CSD) converts engine variable speed into constant speed for the generator. Each IDG supplies its
own network in 90 KVA, 115/200 VAC, 3 phases, 400 Hz.
B. AC Main Generation
The AC main generation enables supply of the whole aircraft electrical network in normal configuration.
The transfer circuit enables supply of the network from any generation sources (main, auxiliary, ground).
C. AC Auxiliary Generation
The APU GEN is able:
in flight to replace any failed generator,
on the ground to supply the whole aircraft electrical network.
D. AC Emergency Generation
The AC emergency generator (CSM/G) enables part of the distribution network to be recovered in case of:
loss of the main generation sources and,
non availability of the auxiliary generation.
E. Static Inverter
The static inverter transforms the direct current voltage from batteries into a single phase 115 VAC/400 Hz
alternating current voltage.
F. AC Essential Generation Switching
These circuits control the supply of the AC essential distribution network.
They enable:
its normal supply in normal flight configuration,
Transfer of the supply in case of AC BUS 1-1 loss.
G. Galley Supply Control
The galley supply control circuit enables control of the main galley contactors via the two ECMUs and the
ELMU.
H. AC Generation Monitoring and Indicating
Monitoring and indicating of the aircraft AC generation and distribution is performed by means of the
Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring (ECAM). The ECAM system generates a synoptic of the electrical
generation, this gives a status of the system to the flight crew.
J. ECMU
The Electrical Contactor Management Unit (ECMU) manages the AC and DC main contactors in normal
configuration.
K. ELMS
The Electrical Load Management System (ELMS) sheds or restores electrical loads to the commercial
systems.
