1. Possible Causes
  • wiring
  • GAPCU [24XG]
2. Job Set-up Information
 A. Referenced Information
REFERENCE
DESIGNATION
ASM 242301
AMM 24-41-00-861-002
Energize the Aircraft Electrical Circuits from the External Power
AMM 24-41-00-862-002
De-energize the Aircraft Electrical Circuits Supplied from the External Power
AMM 24-41-34-000-001
Removal of the Ground Power Control Unit (GPCU)
AMM 24-41-34-400-001
Installation of the Ground Power Control Unit (GPCU)
3. Fault Confirmation
Subtask 24-23-00-869-056-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. Test
Not applicable.
NOTE: As the APU GEN was set to OFF because of a true failure, the fault confirmation is not necessary.
4. Fault Isolation
Subtask 24-23-00-810-065-F ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. If the fault symptom is identified by the CFDS message WRG: POR/ GAPCU (24XG) and the upper ECAM-DU warning APU GEN FAULT:
  • Do a check of the Point-Of-Regulation (POR) sense wiring ASM 242301 for a short to ground, a short circuit or an open circuit between:
    . Pin 9 of the APU/EXT power contactor module (29XN) and pin A/15G of the GAPCU
    . Pin 8 of the APU/EXT power contactor module and pin A/15H of the GAPCU
    . Pin 7 of the APU/EXT power contactor module and pin A/14G of the GAPCU
    . POR neutral connection and pin A/14H of the GAPCU.
   (1) If the wiring is not correct:
  • Repair or replace as necessary.
   (2) If the wiring is correct:
Subtask 24-23-00-860-058-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
B. Make sure that the aircraft electrical circuits operate correctly in APU configuration.
   (1) Energize the aircraft electrical circuits from the APU AMM 24-41-00-861-002.
   (2) Let the APU generator operate for five minutes to make sure that it operates correctly.
   (3) De-energize the aircraft electrical circuits from the APU AMM 24-41-00-862-002.
