Four Functions
• Voltage regulation
• Achieved by regulating excitation current (Current reduced until 335Hz obtained). If PMG voltage
reduced protection circuit sense trigger voltage regulation shut down control to simulate high generator
load signal via current limit module. When PMG frequency signal normal voltage regulation becomes
normal and GLC closes.(Excitation current depends on the comparison between voltage at point of
regulation and reference voltage)
• Control and protection of the network
• Protection achieved by GCR and power ready relay
• Gen. line cables current monitors by CT and a sensor
• If open parallel condition or Fire P/B released GCU trips GCR and GLC, and turn off voltage
regulation
• GPCU determines Fire trip or open cable fault
• Deferential protection
• Area divided to 2 parts
• Zone 1 – Gen. coils + feeders between IDG CT and GLC
• If any S/C between phases or phase to Gnd. Fault Lt. on GEN 1 (2 ) P/B illuminates but
Gen. still generates. If fault persists GCR trips and Gen. de energized, GLC opens BTC
close to allow other AC BUS to power network. If no over current detected by zone 2 CTs
line remains,
55
• Zone 2 – Wiring from GLC and CT
• If any S/C in zone 2 GLC opens & BTC opens Gen. excited + Fault Lt. Illuminates,
If fault does not persist S/C isolated GCR tripped thus Gen. de excited, BTC remain
locked out then AC ESS BUS supplies from AC ESS feed control
• This situation can be recovered by resetting Gen. P/B 2 times then GLC closes power
• After clearing BTC lockout fault system can be reseated by DP reset P/B on the GCU or
each power up
• Over load protection only processed to give ECAM warnings
• During Under speed conditions under frequency, under voltage protections inhibited.

the fault
• Maintenance Bite – Completes the operational bite and performs self test of GCU, Only 7 last leg
faults can memorize
External Power
• If external power parameters correct “AVAIL” Lt. In flight deck and external power receptacle will

position

Vibration pickup
• Located on the fan area to monitor vibration on fancase (by EVMU) and to indicate on the ECAM
Thrust Reverser
• Controls by EEC via Hydraulic control unit (HCU)
• Each translating cowl operated by Qty 2 hydraulic actuators
• Actuators are synchronize by a flexible cable running in side the hydraulic tube
• Lock out pin can lock the sleeve at Fwd thrust position
• To deactivate T/R, HCU also must be deactivated with the provided safety pin
• When T/R selected, signal sent to EIU and EEC then to T/R via HCU (hydraulic control unit)
• Actuation of T/R
• Each cowl got two hydraulic actuators
• Actuator receives fluid from HCU, controlled by EIU and EEC
• Reverser control
• Throttle control unit sends TLA signal to
• EEC by means of resolvers
• EIU by means of potentiometers, via SECs for EIU inhibition relay closer
• EEC supplies a signal to isolation valve and directional valve located in the HCU to select T/R
deployment and stow sequence
• Supply to the directional valve also depends on the closer of the EIU inhibition relay
• To command the T/R EEC needs “air Gnd. signal, supplied by the LGCIU via the EIU
• When deploy sequence is commanded pressure in the lower actuator releases the locks as the
four actuator position move rearward to deploy the reverser
• REV indication on the ECAM
• Displayed Amber on the middle of the EPR dial when at least one translating cowl unstowed
• If this happens in flight REV flashes for 9 sec and then remain steady
• REV becomes Green when T/R cowl at deployed position
• No indication at stowed position
• Proximity switch (Qty 2 for each engine)
• Located on the lower actuator provides lock position to the EEC(sleeves lock or not)
• Reverser test can be carried out via MCDU
• LVDT sense an uncommanded movement of the T/R from the stowed or deployment and provide reverser
position to EEC (Qty 2 for each engine)
• LVDT located in the upper actuator and proximity switch located in the lower actuator on each cowl
(L/H cowl signals for channel “A” and R/H cowl signals for channel “B”)
• Pressure Switch (Qty 1for each engine located on the HCU)
• Two contacts on each Sw. provides energiesation signal of the isolation valve & hydraulic pressure to
each channel of EEC
• Auto restow
• In forward thrust, if EEC detects any uncommanded movement > 10% from stow it commands an auto
restow of the T/R
• Following auto restow isolation valve in the HCU remain energized for the rest of the flight
• In forward thrust, if EEC detects any uncommanded movement > 15% from stow it commands to
engine to go to idle power
• Auto redeploy
• In reverse thrust if EEC detects any uncommanded movement > 10% from fully deploy it commands
auto redeploy of the T/R
• When auto redeploy initiated to counteract inadvertent stow EEC will command the isolation valve to
close and maintain close until forward thrust has been reselected
• During reverse thrust if EEC detects any uncommanded movement > 22% from full deploy it
commands engine idle power
• Requirements to deploy T/R
• FADEC channel operating with its associated throttle reverse signal
• R/H and L/H MLG compressed signal from LGCIUs
• TLA reverse signal from at lease one SEC
