SISTEMA ELÉTRICO AC

A geração de corrente alternada da aeronave é proveniente de dois geradores acionados

pelos motores (IDGs) de 115/200 volts, trifásico, 400hz e 90 kVA + um gerador
acionado pelo APU com as mesmas características dos geradores dos motores, + um
gerador de emergência (115/200 volts, 400hz e 5 kVA) acionado pela RAT (em caso de
falha de ambos geradores dos motores), + o uso de fonte externa no solo que alimenta
todas as barras de energia.
A transferência de circuito elétrico de qualquer gerador é possível através dos BTCs
(Bus tie Contactors), os geradores nunca são conectados em paralelo na mesma barra.
Cada gerador supri a sua barra relativa. As duas barras normais (AC BUS 1 & AC BUS 2)
são supridas pela fonte disponível na seguinte ordem de prioridade:
- 1: (mesmo lado) onside generator (IDG),
- 2: external Power,
- 3: APU GEN,
- 4: (outro lado) offside generator.
A barra essencial (AC ESS BUS) é normalmente suprida pela AC BUS 1 ou pela AC
BUS 2 em caso de falha da AC BUS 1. A (AC ESS SHED BUS) é suprida pela AC ESS
BUS.
O 115 volts para 26 volts monofásico é convertido por um transformador (autotransformer) e
está conectado em cada barra principal e AC ESS BUS.

SISTEMA ELÉTRICO DC

A Geração de corrente (DC generation) é realizada por transformadores retificadores,

(Transformer Rectifiers-TRs/ 1 e 2). As características dos TRs são: saída de 200 A com 28V
DC. Uma (essential TR unit) TR essencial substitui a TR principal em falha na alimentação da
(DC ESS) barra DC essencial bus. A alimentação das barras DC BUS ½ são supridas pelas
suas respectivas TRs.
A (DC BAT BUS) é suprida pela (DC BATtery BUS) que é suprida DC BUS 1 ou pela DC
BUS 2 se DC BUS 1 falhar. As baterias podem suprir a (DC BAT BUS).
A (DC ESS BUS) é suprida pela DC BAT BUS. Numa emergência será suprida pela bateria
2 ou através da essencial TR.
Duas baterias podem ser conectadas na DC BAT BUS. Cada bateria tem a sua própria barra
(HOT BUS 1 e HOT BUS 2), elas são permanentemente alimentadas. A bateria tem capacidade
de 23 Ah com 24 v.
O inversor estático está conectado na bateria 1 e supri a(AC STAT INV BUS). As
características do inversor: 115 volts, single phase, 400 Hz.
As barras elétricas em voo e em solo são normalmente supridas pela rede da aeronave ou
diretamente pela fonte externa (External Power Contactor-EPC). As GALLEYS são
alimentadas pela AC BUS 1 and 2, The main electrical circuits are shed in single generator
operation.

MAIN ELEC CONFIGURATIONS

GROUND SUPPLY
On ground, the complete circuit may be supplied by the external power
unit or by the APU generator.
NORMAL FLIGHT CONFIGURATION
In normal flight configuration, each generator supplies its own
distribution network via its Generator Line Contactor (GLC). The two
generators are never electrically coupled.
GROUND SERVICES
For ground service only, the AC and the DC GND FLT BUSes can
be supplied independently from the normal circuit.
LOSS OF MAIN GENERATORS
In flight, in case of total loss of all the main generators, and before
the emergency generator connection, battery 1 will supply the AC
ESS BUS, via the STAT INV and battery 2 will supply the DC ESS
BUS. This is a transient configuration, during RAT extension or no
emergency generator available. When its parameters are correct, the
emergency generator comes on line and supplies the AC and DC ESS
BUSes. When the speed is lower than 100 knots, the emergency
generator is deactivated. The batteries supply the AC and DC ESS
BUSes. The DC BAT BUS is recovered. When the speed drops below
50 knots, the AC ESS BUS disconnects from the static inverter.

SYSTEM WARNINGS (3)

EMER CONFIG
In case of dual generator failure, the MASTER WARNing comes on
associated with a Continuous Repetitive Chime (CRC). The lower ECAM
Display Unit (DU) is lost. In this case, the ELECtrical SYStem page can
be displayed on the upper DU by maintaining the P/B pressed-in on the
ECAM Control Panel (ECP). The emergency generator has taken over
the essential network.
GEN FAULT
In case of a generator fault, the MASTER CAUTion comes on associated
with a Single Chime (SC). The GENerator FAULT light on the electrical
control panel comes on. This failure occurs when GEN 1(2) parameters
are not correct. The failure is shown amber on the ECAM page.
NOTE: In case of GEN fault, the related AC BUS is supplied by the
opposite GEN and galley loads are partially shed.
IDG OIL LO PR/OVHT
In case of an Integrated Drive Generator (IDG) unit oil low pressure or
overheat, the MASTER CAUT comes on associated with a SC. The IDG
FAULT light on the electrical control panel comes on. The failure is
shown amber on the ECAM page. IDG 1(2) OIL OVHT warning message
appears when the IDG oil outlet temperature is above 180°C.
GEN OVERLOAD
In case of generator overload, the MASTER CAUT comes on associated
with a SC. The GALleY & CABin FAULT light on the electrical control
panel come on. The failure is shown amber on the ECAM page.
NOTE: The generator load can be reduced by switching the GALY &
CAB or COMMERCIAL P/Bs off. On ground, in case of APU
generator overload, the whole galley network is automatically
shed.
AC BUS 2 FAULT
In case of an AC BUS 2 failure, the MASTER CAUT comes on associated
with a SC. The aural warning sounds and the lower ECAM DU is lost.
The failure is shown amber on the ECAM page. The ELEC SYS page
can be displayed on the upper DU by maintaining the ELEC P/B pressed
in on the ECP. In this case, DC ESSential BUS is supplied by ESS
