A. If the fault symptom is identified by the CFDS message DELTA CURRENT GEN2 CHANNEL or OVERCURRENT GEN2 CHANNEL and the upper ECAM-DU warnings GEN 2 FAULT and AC BUS 2 FAULT:
Subtask 24-20-00-865-059-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL - Do a check of the feeders ASM 242201 for a short circuit or a short to ground between:
. Pin L1 of the Current Transformer Assembly (CTA) (51XU2) and pin 1 of the generator 2 contactor module (30XN2)
. Pin L2 of the CTA and pin 2 of the generator 2 contactor module
. Pin L3 of the CTA and pin 3 of the generator 2 contactor module.
- Repair or replace the feeders as necessary.
- Do a check of the power distribution feeders ASM 242203 for a short circuit or a short to ground between:
. Pins 4, 5 and 6 of the generator 2 contactor module (30XN2) and the primary circuit breakers of bus 2XP
. Pin 4 and pin 7 of the generator 2 contactor module
. Pin 5 and pin 8 of the generator 2 contactor module
. Pin 6 and pin 9 of the generator 2 contactor module
. Pins 7, 8 and 9 of the generator 2 contactor module and the lightning strike protection module (19XU2).
- Repair or replace the feeders as necessary.
- Replace the GLC-2 [9XU2] AMM 24-22-55-000-001 and AMM 24-22-55-400-002.
- Replace the BTC-2 [11XU2] AMM 24-22-55-000-001 and AMM 24-22-55-400-002.
