AC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The entire Alternating Current (AC) Electrical System can be supplied by two
generators or by the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) generator or by external
power A and B.

Part of the AC network can be supplied via the static inverter or the
emergency generator in abnormal or emergency condition.

DC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The DC Electrical System is supplied from the AC network via transformer
rectifiers.

Part of the DC network can be supplied from the batteries as a back-up

source.

EMERGENCY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The emergency generator is hydraulically driven by the green system and can
supply part of the Electrical System in case of loss of normal supply.

APU START SYSTEM

The Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) can be started by using the APU battery or
the APU transformer rectifier or both at the same time.

EMER GEN TEST PUSHBUTTON (GUARDED)

Two tests can be performed using the EMER GEN TEST pushbutton :

1- If the green hydraulic system is pressurized and the EMER GEN TEST
pushbutton switch is pressed in, the emergency generator runs and supplies
the ESSential network.

2- If the green hydraulic system is not pressurized and no electrical power is

connected and the EMER GEN TEST pushbutton switch is pressed in, the
static inverter is operative and supplies the AC ESSential bus only.

Check the results on the ECAM for both tests.

LAND RECOVERY PUSHBUTTON SWITCH

In case of electrical power emergency configuration, certain busbars are no
longer supplied.

When the LAND RECOVERY pushbutton switch is pressed in, the ON

legend comes on, the associated AC and DC land recovery sub-busbars are
recovered to supply systems for safe landing.

EMER GEN FAULT LIGHT

In case of electrical power emergency configuration, the FAULT light comes
on red in case of emergency generator shutdown.

MAN ON PUSHBUTTON (GUARDED)

The emergency generator automatically starts when AC BUS 1 and AC BUS
2 are lost.

ELECTRICAL CONTACTOR MANAGEMENT UNIT

The system consists of two Electrical Contactor Management Units
(ECMUs).

ECMU 1 monitors the network and manages left hand contactors, Auxiliary
Generator Contactor (AGC), External Power Contactor B (EPC B) and the
System Isolation Contactor (SIC).

ECMU 2 monitors the network and manages right hand contactors and
External Power Contactor A (EPC A).

ECMU FUNCTIONS
The main ECMU functions are :
- monitoring of the aircraft network
- No Break Power Transfer (NBPT) function (only available on
ground)
- controlling the AC/DC contactors.

The DC contactors are controlled by both ECMUs.

NBPT is done by paralleling AC power sources (generators 1, 2, APU
generator or external power A, B) during the transfer period.

GENERAL SERVICE BUS SUPPLY

The aircraft network can be supplied by two Ground Power Units (GPUs). The AC service buses can be supplied from the aircraft network or by the
Ground Power Unit requirements : external power A only.
- 115 V three-phase
- 400 Hz For ground service purposes, provided all parameters are correct, it is possible
- 90 KVA. to supply the AC and DC service buses only.
Both GPUs are controlled and monitored by one Ground Power Control Unit The MAINT BUS switch has to be in the ON position.
(GPCU). This switch is on the circuit breaker panel located in the forward cabin
ceiling.
GROUND POWER CONTROL UNIT REMOTE CONTROL CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The Ground Power Control Unit (GPCU) will not allow faulty ground power Power is delivered to the AC service buses through the Remote Control
to be applied to the aircraft network to protect the aircraft systems. Circut Breakers (RCCBs) which are used to control the supply.

The GPCU monitors the following parameters : Note : These RCCBs are controlled by ECMU2.
- over/under voltage,
- over/under frequency,
- phase sequence,
- overcurrent,
- open cable or short circuit,

NORMAL SUPPLY
When all parameters are correct and the EXTernal A switch is pressed in, the
associated external power contactor closes and the entire network is supplied
via the transfer circuit.

The System Isolation Contactor (SIC) closes when only one external power
is connected. It is opened when both external power A and B are connected.

TRANSFORMER RECTIFIERS TR OPERATION

There are four identical Transformer Rectifiers The four TRs start to operate as soon as they are supplied by the associated
(TR1, TR2, APU TR and ESS TR). AC busbars.

Each TR converts the three phase alternating current into 28 V Direct In the event of TR1 loss, DC BUS 1 and DC BAT BUS are restored from
Current. TR2 through the ECMU controlled contactors.
BATTERIES If TR2 is lost, DC BUS 2 is restored from TR1 through the same contactors.
There are three identical nickel-cadmium Batteries
(BAT1, BAT2 and APU BAT). If the ESS TR is lost, the DC ESS BUS and the DC ESS SHED BUS are
recovered from the DC BAT BUS.
DISTRIBUTION
TR1, powered from AC bus 1, supplies DC BUS 1 and the DC BAT BUS.
BATTERY OPERATION
TR2, powered from AC bus 2, supplies DC BUS 2 and the DC Service bus. BAT 1 and BAT 2 are connected to the DC BAT BUS through contactors.
TR2, when powered from EXT power A, supplies the DC SERVICE bus
only. These contactors are controlled by the Battery Charge Limiters (BCL).

The ESS TR, powered from AC BUS 1 or AC BUS 2 or CSM/G, supplies The APU battery is connected to the APU STARTER through a contactor and
the DC ESS BUS and the DC ESS SHED BUS. controlled by the APU BCL.

The APU TR, powered from AC BUS 2, is only used to supply the APU
starter and to charge the APU battery. BCL FUNCTION
The three Battery Charge Limiters (BCLs) are identical and interchangeable.
The two main batteries (BAT 1 and BAT 2) are connected to the DC BAT
BUS. They also supply the static inverter and, under certain configurations, The BCLs :
the DC ESS BUS. - ensure automatic battery connection for charging or discharging,
Note : the HOT BUSes are always supplied. - protect the battery against thermal runaway, short circuit or complete
discharge.
The APU battery is only used for starting the APU.

GALLEY PUSHBUTTON SWITCH

The galley main power supply is controlled from the cockpit overhead panel
by means of the commercial and galley pushbutton switches.

Note: both must be pushed to supply the galleys.

The galley pushbutton switch is used to shed all the galleys and to reset the
galley supply.
AUTO POSITION
When the galley pushbutton switch is pressed in, all galleys are supplied,
according to the supply configuration of the aircraft.

The ECMUs automatically control the shedding of the galleys in case of

general overload or failure.
OFF POSITION
When the galley pushbutton switch is released out, all the Remote Control
Circuit Breakers (RCCBs) are tripped through ECMUs and all the galleys are
shed.
The white OFF legend comes on.
FAULT LEGEND
With the galley pushbutton switch in auto position and when the automatic
shedding cannot be performed through the RCCBs, the FAULT legend comes
